I read the link #24 gave...

ZOMG... is she even dead? did I miss the part where her body turned up somewhere? And in the light all that was going on, tearing the passenger seat out and washing the carpet down from 10 years or more of fast food so he would have a place to sleep is quite reasonable.

The most shocking thing about this story is that a Linux geek was not only able to get a girl, but one this cute:

How much of a market share does ReiserFS have these days anyway? AFAIK none of the major distros use it as the default any more (I think everyone's pretty much switched to EXT3 at this point).

It's amazing how someone who is obviously intelligent can simultaneously prove to be immensely stupid. That said, it does seem obvious that he murdered his wife. Of course what brings someone to take such a course of action is always a mystery to me.

Yep, Linux zealot to the very end. :-)

I simply can't believe that a Linux zealot could be this maladjusted and sociopathic...

Well that's something I never expected to read about in TR.

I don't know, I have been following this case since it's in my home town. I am still skeptical that he killed his wife. There is a lot more than what is in that wired article. The Laci Peterson murder was pretty clear, this one not so much.

I guess we can mark his file "case closed."

That's the system at work.

Upon a friend of his wife telling him that his wife is missing: "I need to contact my attorney."

Reiser: good at filesystems, not so good at getting away with murder.
