    NASA Love Triangle Leads To Astronauts Arrest

    http://www.cnn.com/2007/US/02/05/space.love/index.html

    A NASA astronaut was arrested Monday on battery and attempted kidnapping charges after allegedly trying to subdue a romantic rival with pepper spray and abduct her from a parking lot at Orlando International Airport, police said.
    Navy Capt. Lisa Marie Nowak, who was a mission specialist aboard the space shuttle Discovery in July, and Colleen Shipman were both reported to be "in a relationship" with astronaut Bill Oefelein, a Navy commander, according to a police report of the incident.

    .....


    An officer went to the bus stop and found Nowak, who was wearing a different coat, the report said. Approaching the stop, the officer observed Nowak put some items into a trash can, the report said.
    Those items included a wig and a plastic bag containing a carbon dioxide-powered BB pistol, the report said.
    Inside a bag Nowak was carrying, the officer found a tan trench coat, a new steel mallet, a new folding knife with a 4-inch blade, 3 to 4 feet of rubber tubing, large plastic garbage bags and about $600 in cash, the report said.
    Nowak admitted the details of Shipman's allegations, according to the police report, and permitted a search of her car.
    Inside the car, police found an a half-dozen latex gloves, MapQuest directions from Houston to Orlando International Airport, e-mails from Shipman to Oefelein, diapers that Nowak said she used to eliminate stops along the highway, a letter indicating how much she loved Oefelein and directions to Shipman's home address in Florida, the report said.
    There must be something in the Tang.

    Hopefully Lisa Marie has had better hair days than what her mug shot portrays.

    There might be a market for that. You should contact MLB about licensing.

    Now it's attempted murder!

    Kid grows up, becomes an astronout, and the proud parents are the talk of the town. Now this happens. What a kick in the teeth.

    Next chapter: She goes to jail, becomes a lesbian, and then kills in inmate over another love triangle. That's no so far-fetched considering the events thus far. Watch for the movie.
    Let the kids play.

    ..and to think that after years of screening and more screening, only the cream of the crop, the 1/1000th of 1%, the best of the best of the best, get the opportunity to be on a shuttle mission. NASA top officials must be climbing the walls.

    Anyone notice the resemblance to Mary Kay Letourneau? (It's probably just the mugshot that gives them the similar psychotic look)

    Re: NASA Love Triangle Leads To Astronauts Arrest

    This case kind of reminds me of the one in Belgium where one female member of a skydiving club cut the lines in the parachute and emergency parachute of another female skydiver because of a love triangle with a male member of the skydiving club. The woman plunged to her death and the other woman has been charged with her murder. I don't have a link unfortunately. Sheesh, these women don't need to be so desperate!!

    I'm stuck on the diapers thing...I realize that's ridiculous since she obvioiusly snapped and I'm trying to make this rational when the whole thing just isn't rational ..but anyway -- didn't she have to stop for gas anyway? couldn't she just cop a squat somewhere quickly?

    Me too. For some reason I find the diaper thing for 900 miles to be stranger than the love/murder thing...and I am disturbed by this.

    You are right, the diaper thing is disturbing. But actually, everything about this case is disturbing.

    You know on a side note, this guy Bill is the man. Not only does he have the coolest job in the world, he's got a chick so crazy in love with him that she attempted murder on a "romantic rival".

    You're right. She said she was more than just friends but less than romantically involved. What does that mean? He wasn't even her boyfriend. Just a hope for a chance with him and she's ready to murder someone!
