Sarah Michelle Lunde

The Medical Examiner is still trying to discover the actual cause of death, but we have been told that after an altercation at the home, David Onstott put Sarah into a chokehold and she was killed. He then attempted to hide the body. He returned to the home to retrieve a beer bottle (fingerprint evidence) from the home. Leaving the bottle or retrieving it was dangerous as it would place him in the home. Luckily, she was found, so that her family can have some measure of closure and begin the healing process.

Now, it’s up to the Sheriff’s office to collect the evidence to sustain the confession. You do realize that he will plead not guilty at his arraignment, don’t you? Just because he confessed doesn’t mean he will plead guilty. That confession will be used as leverage to take the death penalty off the table. He’ll agree to change his plea to guilty for a sentence of life in prison.

Congressman Mark Foley of Florida is on FoxNews now and revealed that sexual offenders have a 90% rate of re-offending. I didn’t know the figure, but I’m not surprised. As I’ve stated before, these people cannot be rehabilitated. Congressman Foley remarked that we track library books better than we track sexual offenders. He also mentioned that Martha Stewart has a monitoring bracelet on her ankle. This is for a conviction of lying to investigators or to the Grand Jury or some such thing.

Parents also must be on notice that they must be aware of security within their own homes. Doors and windows must be locked. I’m not pointing fingers or placing blame on the parents, but parents are the first line of defense for their children.

I think I can predict with a relatively high chance of being correct that sexual offenders nationwide, but particularly in Florida given the atmosphere today, are on notice that changes will be coming.
