Kaine Horman Court Filing: Terri's Silence Implies Guilt

PORTLAND, Ore. -- The legal war of attrition in the divorce of missing Portland boy Kyron Horman's father and stepmother continued as more documents were filed in court Friday.

Attorney's for Kaine Horman filed a response to his estranged wife Terri Moulton Horman's withdrawal of a request to seek visitation with the couple's young child last week. In it, they argue that Terri's attachment of a "declaration" was only an attempt to "blame Father and his lawyer for Mother's situation," and that there was no legal need for such statements. Read: Kaine's latest filing

Under a restraining order filed by Kaine Horman, Terri was denied visitation with their young daughter. Kaine alleges that Terri has knowledge of what happened to Kyron. She is the last person to report seeing him alive.

In the papers filed Friday, Kaine asked the court to consider Terri's "silence as an admission regarding Father's factual allegations."

Kyron Horman was 7 when he disappeared from Skyline elementary on June 4. The largest missing person search in Oregon's history has so far turned up no suspects.

In court papers, Kaine Horman characterized Terri as an 'emotionally unstable' and 'unfit' mother -- claims she refuted in her initial plea for visitation. The estranged couple has filed a series of inflammatory motions.

"The fact that Mother's own attorney has told the Court that Mother intends to plead the Fifth speaks volumes about what mother has to hide," attorneys said.

"One can only infer that Mother will not speak because her testimony will lead to criminal liability for Kyron's disappearance."

Kaine and his attorneys said until Terri denies the accusations, no other conclusion can be made.

Kaine and Terri Horman have a divorce hearing set for January. The Multnomah County Sheriff's Office is setting up a task force on the case.

A Dateline special on the case airs Friday at 9 p.m. on KGW NewsChannel 8.

Sandra Bullock Files for Divorce

That's what you get for being a skank-lover.. I mean, come on! Sandra can do so much better than that wh*re loving loser. That tattooed pale one looked like Mariyln Manson for crying out loud... Like Miss Swan would say.."She look, like-a-man"!

(CNN) -- Oscar-winning actress Sandra Bullock has filed for divorce from Jesse James in a Texas court, saying their marriage "has become insupportable because of discord or conflict of personalities."

Bullock, 45, and James, 41, separated soon after she won the best actress Academy Award in March amid tabloid reports of his marital infidelity.

Austin, Texas -- where Bullock owns businesses -- is a "much better jurisdiction for her" to file in than California because the Texas judge is allowed to consider 20 factors, including cheating, when dividing assets, said family law attorney Diane Reul.

California's community property law provides for a 50-50 split, she said.

James, in a statement given to People magazine, said the divorce filing "has left a huge hole in my heart."

"Sandy is the love of my life, but considering the pain and devastation I have caused her, it would be selfish to not let her go," he said.

The divorce petition, filed Friday in Travis County, Texas, District Court, gave few details about the 5-year-old marriage's troubles.

"The marriage between petitioner and respondent has become insupportable because of discord or conflict of personalities that destroys the legitimate ends of the marriage relationship and prevents any reasonable expectations of reconciliation," the petition said.

The petition does not refer to the son Bullock recently acknowledged that she adopted.

She told People magazine that she adopted Louis Bardo Bullock, and infant born in New Orleans, Louisiana, in January.

James addressed the adoption in his statement to People.

"The decision to let my wife end our marriage, and continue the adoption of Louis on her own, has been the hardest," he said. "The love I have for Louis cannot be put to words. Not having him around to love and to hold has left a huge hole in my heart."

The filing hinted that there is agreement between Bullock and James on some issues already.

"Petitioner believed that petitioner and respondent will enter into an agreement for the division of their estate," it said.

"My guess is under the table, they're cutting a deal," Reul said.

Bullock's filing said James -- a motorcycle designer and reality TV star from Long Beach, California -- already agreed that the divorce would be handled in Texas.

"We still might see paperwork come through where he is disputing that," Reul said.

Bullock, a Virginia native, opened a restaurant, bakery and floral shop in the Sixth Street tourist area of downtown Austin. She's also been quoted by an Austin newspaper in recent years saying the city is her "real home."

Texas has no state income tax, which makes property ownership a key way to show residency, Reul said.

Bullock's petition, filed without using their names, was titled: "In the matter of the marriage of B.A.S. and J.J.G." Those letters are their initials in reverse.

While the Bullock-James separation has given journalists plenty to write about in recent weeks, the divorce may be quieter, Reul said.

Texas law allows for attorneys to keep what is said in depositions and interrogatory filings out of the public case file at the courthouse, she said: "They exchange them privately."

Burn This Mother DOWN!

BOSTON -- A Newbury homeowner was charged Thursday with arson after her $1.4 million house went up in flames.

Nancy Moore, 65, was arraigned Thursday afternoon after her 5,700-square-foot home at 108 Pine Island Road caught fire Wednesday night. Moore was sent to a substance abuse facility after her arraignment.

A prosecutor told the court that she allegedly used gas-soaked rags to start the fire, and she parked her car in the driveway to block emergency vehicles from responding to the blaze.

"She had burned the house down -- set the house on fire by lighting gas-soaked rags," prosecutor Maura Bailey said. "That's what she told them, 'because she said she was sick of this house.'"

The fire that started at about 7 p.m. was first spotted by a neighbor, who saw smoke coming out of the roof. Fire officials said it appeared the blaze started in the kitchen.

"She had parked her vehicle in the narrow drive leading to the house and police had to move it. Inside they noticed valuables -- including pictures of her children and jewelry," Bailey said.

Court documents list Moore as divorced from her ex-husband Harrington Moore. The house has been on the market for more than a year, and the price was recently lowered to $1.45 million.

HAhahaha- "Shocker" of the Year

Gosselin Divorce Papers Filed
People Mag- After months of speculation, the 10-year marriage of Jon & Kate Plus Eight's stars Kate and Jon Gosselin appears to be coming to an end, a source close to the situation tells PEOPLE.

Documents to initiate a legal split were filed in Pennsylvania Monday afternoon.

Fans who have watched the couple's popular TLC show – or read the voluminous coverage of the Gosselin marriage in the press – will hardly be surprised: The duo had long maintained a tense relationship, with Jon recently telling PEOPLE he wanted a less high-profile life, while Kate appeared to remain committed to their TV career.

In February, photos surfaced of Jon in the company of young women during a solo visit to see his mother, who was recuperating from surgery, in Huntingdon, Pa. The couple quickly attempted to quash rumors of problems. But in May, the scandal erupted again when 23-year-old Deanna Hummel was photographed driving Jon's car home from a bar late at night.

When the fifth season of the Gosselins' show premiered May 25, the couple admitted to having problems and not knowing where their relationship was headed. "Parents of multiples have triple the divorce rate," Kate said through tears. "I was thinking we were going to beat that. I don't know if I can say that anymore."

TLC promotions of the show are promising a major announcement about the family in Monday night's episode of Jon & Kate Plus Eight.

"YOU Oughta Know By Now.."

(CNN) -- Billy Joel and his wife, Katie Lee Joel, are separating.

"After nearly five years of marriage, Billy Joel and Katie Lee Joel have decided to separate," a joint statement on behalf of the pair said. "This decision is a result of much thoughtful consideration. Billy and Katie remain caring friends with admiration and respect for each other."

Billy Joel, 60, and Katie Lee Joel, 27, were married in 2004. Billy Joel is the multimillion-selling musician behind such albums as "The Stranger," "52nd Street" and "Storm Front." Katie Lee is a food critic and chef.

The marriage was the third for Billy Joel. His marriage to Elizabeth Weber ended in divorce in 1982 after nine years. He married his second wife, model Christie Brinkley, in 1985; they divorced in 1994.

Both Joels have retained attorneys, according to a report in the New York Daily News.

Billy Joel's publicist, Claire Mercuri, told the Daily News the singer was bearing up well.

"Billy's doing fine," Mercuri said. "He's looking forward to resuming his Face2Face Tour with Elton John."

Ex-Wife, Mother at Confessed Triple Murderer's First Court Appearance

CANTON, Ohio - The man who has confessed to killing his two young children and his ex-mother-in-law out of spite for his ex-wife appeared in court for the first time since the alleged murders, Fox 8's Kristy Steeves reports.

James Mammone III could be seen behind a glass partition inside a room connected to the courtroom, where his ex-wife and his mother sat two seats from each other.

The judge set June 16 as the date for a preliminary hearing. It is scheduled for 1:15 p.m.

The defendant's mother, visably shaken, sat among the first row of onlookers. For the duration of the proceedings, she held two photographs of her now-deceased grandchildren.

The defendant's ex-wife, Marcia Mammone, sat nearby. At one point, a bailiff noticed that she was crying and got her a box of Kleenex.

Both the ex-wife and the mother were escprted out a back door of the courthouse, away from cameras.

On Tuesday, James Mammone III told authorities in Canton that he killed his children and ex-mother-in-law with the intention of inflicting pain on his ex-wife.

Police tell Fox 8's Kathleen Cochrane that Mammone first killed his ex-mother-in-law at her home and then tried to break into his ex-wife's home. She called 911 early Monday morning.

From inside the house, Marcia Mammone told the 911 dispatcher that she could see her two children -- 5-year-old Macy and 3-year-old James -- in the suspect's car parked in the driveway. The two children were later found murdered, with throats slit, in the custody of their father.

James III and Marcia divorced in April and records show that he had threatened to kill her in the past. He even spent a night in jail on domestic violence charges while he and Marcia were still married.

On Monday, he seemed determined to get into Marcia's home as she begged for the authorities to respond.

James III remains locked up in prison on $15 million bond.

A spokesperson for the family says that they are grieving deeply and asking for privacy during this extremely difficult time.

Father Charged with Murdering 2 Children & Mother-in-Law in Canton

CANTON, OH -A murderous rampage in Canton that would leave two children and their grandmother dead, began early Monday morning, when 35-year-old James Mammone III tried to break into the home of his ex-wife.

The couple's divorce was finalized in April. Court records indicate James Mammone was convicted in 2008 of domestic violence after threatening to kill his wife. But on Monday morning, he did not find her. A neighbor, who did not want to be identified says "I saw all the glass and the door was propped open, and he attempted to get into the second door."

Investigators say James Mammone left the home of his ex-wife and traveled a short distance to his ex mother-in-law's house. It was at the home of 57-year-old Margaret Eakin where Mammone would pick up and drop off his five-year-old daughter and three-year-old son, as part of his visitation rights.

Canton Police say James Mammone broke into the home Monday morning and shot and killed Margaret Eakin. Ed Roth, a neighbor, says "I called 911 because I knew, I know gunshots, I know someone's screaming."

Roth says he saw James Mammone's car pull out of the driveway, so he decided check on Margaret Eakin. But once inside her home, Roth's wife alerted him that Mammone has returned, so Roth quickly ran back to his home.

Mammone was gone by the time Canton police arrived to investigate the shooting death of Margaret Eakin. They learned that her grandchildren, five-year-old Macy Mammone and three-year-old James Mammone, Junior were missing and were likely with their father.

When police caught up with James Mammone in his car outside his apartment, they were horrified. Canton Police Chief Dean McKimm says "the two children were found unfortunately deceased in the back seat of the vehicle, apparent victims of knife wounds." The Stark County Coroner says the throats of the two children had been slit.

Those who knew them are heart broken. A neighbor says "very, very sweet, Macy, the little girl was quiet she always had a smile on her face. Just Saturday, she had a blow-up thing out there and they were out there playing in the yard having a good time, James was all proud of his chalk and was showing me his chalk, and I'd have never thought, I would never have thought, this is just such a shock."

James Mammone now faces three counts of aggravated murder for allegedly taking the lives of his two children and his former mother-in-law. Ed Roth says "it's just so senseless, it's just so, you know people are so selfish, so you know, it's just seems like it was all about him, how many lives he's going to touch now, it's just stupid."

Police Say Woman Set Herself On Fire

BURTCHVILLE, Mich. -- The St. Clair County Sheriff said a woman who was set on fire has no one to blame but herself.

Authorities have charged Shannon Lee Rhodes with filing a false police report after she claimed an unknown man set her on fire.

But the prosecution said Rhodes injured herself.

"Our office filed charges today (Wednesday) against Shannon Lee Rhodes for the felony offense of false report of a felony," said St. Clair County Prosecutor Michael Wendling. "We believe the injuries were self-inflicted."

Rhodes, of Burtchville Township, was arrested Tuesday and arraigned Wednesday afternoon.

Rhodes, 39, is going through a divorce and investigators believe martial problems are behind the incident. Her husband is on a tether and out on bond while facing charges in a domestic situation involving the couple.

"We believe there are some domestic issues going on between her and her husband," Wendling said. "We also felt there were some other issues that may have caused her to believe she would not be burned so badly and this was an incident that got out of hand."

The incident happened three months ago. Rhodes' 12-year-old son was home at the time and called 9-1-1.

"My mom just caught on fire!," the boy can be heard saying during the emergency call.

When the 911 operator asked "What's on fire?", the boy replied, "My mom."

After catching fire, Rhodes ran to the shower to put out flames on her chest, police said.

Rhodes later told police the incident happened when an unknown man knocked on her front door, doused her in a flammable liquid and lit her on fire.

Sheriff Tim Donnellon said the charges against Rhodes should put any community fears to rest.

"There isn't some mad man running around out there setting civilians on fire," Donnellon said. "At the conclusion of the interview with Rhodes (Tuesday), she was placed into custody."
