hopefully this will be the last of the publicity because this case is absolutely nauseating and I'm tired of hearing about it |

It's simple, don't watch it.
I'm wondering if this will be a "Detroit" story, given the proximity of his location, or if they will accurately identify it as Washington Township. |

I hope they don't allow Grant to have access to a TV so he can't watch it. He enjoys being in the limelight. What a sicko! |

I just hope that the poor children are still sheilded from all of this and can attempt to start a normal life.
The sensationalism needs to be toned down when you consider the ages of the children and all they have endured. |

i'm sure they'll say something to the effect of "detroit suburbs" or "near detroit" |

Jt1 -
Unfortunately, Alicia Standefer is probably making a memory book for the children, IF, as adults they want to know the whole story as portrayed in the media.
I'm sure this stuff is all going into a safe deposit box in case it's wanted.
And I don't blame them. |

I just read the description of Dateline at 9:00 tonight and it states, "Before he can be charged with his wife's murder, a man escapes to another part of the country and assumes a new identity". I don't think that this is Steven Grant.

I agree with JT1. Anytime I hear about this story all I can think about are those kids. I can't begin to imagine how they must feel or how they are going to handle this now or in the future. I understand the news interest, but I just think ANY media coverage is only going to be detrimental to their emotional health, so I can't bring myself to pay attention to the coverage. I just say a prayer that they are surrounded by good people who can help them get through this. What that guy did to his wife is horrendous, but I think I detest him more for f*cking with the minds of those children. I think to a certain extent he (Grant) is eating up and somewhat impressed by the coverage, and for that reason I cannot stand to hear about it, though I understand the public interest. |

What's inside Grant's mind? A psychopathic killer desguise a preppy nerdy man with glasses. |

Yeah, I watched it. I don't know how she couldn't have seen what a loser he was as smart as she was. Maybe it was just because she was from a small town. Her sister sure is a beautiful woman. She did well with the press as well. This was the first time that Tara's children were shown. The girl does look just like Tara, but they showed a picture of the little girl when she was younger and she had Stephen's hair line. What a tragedy. |

I wonder how much Alicia Standefer is getting paid for this? She sure seems to be milking the media for all that she can. |

Usually they don't show the faces of the children in cases like this because they don't want them recognized where they live. I found that disturbing that they were shown.
I would have loved to see the death penalty in this case, but since that can't happen in Michigan, putting him in a cell with Bubba is the next best thing.

I don't think you get paid to be interviewed by a news program. |

Here is the opening text, They immediately identify the area regionally as "Detroit", although the first sentence is accurate.
DETROIT - North of Detroit’s seamless sprawl of strip malls and subdivisions is a 4500-acre woodland preserve. In winter, it’s a bare forest that still belongs to the deer, coyote and occasional trail walkers like Sheila Werner.
Can't argue with that. |

Cool, they're slaying that Grant douche bag! Too good to be true. |
