What is the "student conspiracy theory?" Also, is my observation correct that the professor you mentioned has been on a "sabbatical?" If so, I wonder about the timing of it. Keep looking for the answers |

They (Sylvia Browne)came up with nonsense. I think this woman is a fraud, and preys upon people in need. It was clear to me she is clueless about what happened to Josh -- and -- I was disgusted with the way she treated Josh's Mom and other Mothers on the show. Wherever Josh may be, I know God has him in His care. I pray for peace and comfort for Josh's family and friends -- and someday -- for the answers |

Can someone explain the justice system for pedophile priests. Is it the church system or the state system? I understand there are several priests housed at St. Johns who have been relieved of their duty as a priest --is this true? If yes, do they roam the campus, have off-site priveleges, etc.? Is it possible or probable that some of the hundreds of pedophile priests would be level 3 sex offenders if they were treated like any other person? Wouldn't they then have to register their address anytime they move? Just wondering! |

I have two questions: One, what is the Stearn's County Sherrif's Office hiding, and two, what is it afraid of? I think only a tenacious private investigator will solve this case -- someone who doesn't have anything to hide, and who isn't afraid |

"St. John's Abbey responds ... By Jeff Horwich ... Minnesota Public Radio ... May 9, 2002 ... Kostreba is asking for information from St. John's because of unsolved local crimes. This includes the murders of two teenage sisters found in a St. Cloud gravel quarry in 1974. Mary and Susanne Reker spent time at the lake cabin of Rev. Richard Eckroth in the 1970s. Ten years ago, allegations arose that children had been sexually abused at the cabin. At that time Eckroth asserted he did not murder the girls in a polygraph test, which he passed. ... But the recent clergy abuse scandals have brought renewed scrutiny to Eckroth, now 75. St. John's Abbot John Klassen says Eckroth lives quietly in the retirement center, and continues to deny all charges. ... " |
