Angie Funk's Show.....A Poor Attempt At Keeping Her Eye On The Prize

Angie's backed against the wall as I type...Lie after lie is being told or else she simply replies, "I don't remember."
Did any of us really expect her to give up any truth? No.
Apparently her tight alibi isn't quite so tight. I maintain that the only reason she has yet to be charged is the lack of enough evidence to secure not only an indictment but an iron-clad conviction.
With the evidence against Mike circumstantial, if he walks, he can never be charged again for killing Jan.
If they forged ahead and prematurely charge Angie the same thing could happen.
It's bad enough that it could happen with one of these evil shells but for both of them to get away with murder would just be too much.
This is one of the most depraved situations most have ever heard of.
Clearly Randy is still harboring strong feelings for Angie, while Angie is harboring strong feelings for Mike's money.
And in the middle of this muckfest are all the children.
For what all of them have done, they should be incarcerated so they can't hurt them any further.
Angie is pedalling as fast as she can to end up on top, and to end up Mrs. Angela Lynn Roseboro.
I think it is very important that she was asked how far her home is from Jan Roseboro's home.....
pay attention here.
That wasn't a filler question to kill some time.
There is WAY more to this story and I pray to God that the investigators and Mr. Steadman at least suspect it. They have the rest of Angie's life to dig up more evidence. And stranger things have happened. In other cases, people have come forward long after the fact. Evidence has been uncovered that beforehand was unknown.
Mike really ran into a doozy this time. And I hope that sooner or later they both pay for their part.
Mike said he would give up everything he had to be with Angie. Good job Mike, at least there you're a man of word. You've lost it all already. And the barracuda in those sexy white pants still has a firm chomphold on your ass. Right where your wallet used to slide into your rear pocket.

Two Berks County Attorneys Just One Block Away From Each Other

It just occurred to me that Alan Sodomsky and Amy Rothermel have offices just a block apart.
I understand Roseboro's choice in Sodomsky, despite that he is a Berks County lawyer. And I surely mean no disrespect whatsoever to Ms. Rothermel, but why does Angie Funk have a lawyer in Berks County and just steps away from Mr. Sodomsky's office?
I wonder if it was a referral.....
Hmm...does this mean that Mike and Angie are technically on the "same side" of this issue?
I may be completely wrong but it doesn't feel as if Mike and his attorney will be going after Angie the way many have anticipated.
If Angie is the prosecution's star witness against Mike and not a hostile witness....would you expect her, being a Lancaster County resident who has met with the Lancaster County authorities numerous times, to have secured the services of a Berks County attorney?
Or did Mike and Angie meet with Sodomsky together and he advised her to seek out Rothermel?
Just wondering.....

Update:
I've had the night to sleep on it....I still want to know why Angie didn't want her blood drawn or not drawn until the birth of the baby. Her blood alone doesn't establish paternity of the child.
And all the DNA testing can be done by a buccal swab of all parties involved.
I wonder if the DA has had a DNA sample from Angie up to this point? Lipstick off of a styrofoam or paper coffee cup or cup of water she was given during questioning? A tissue she left behind, soaked in tears over the horrible situation of her lover?
Something just isn't right here.
I've gone back and reviewed it all. Angie is better at manipulating than doing the dirty work herself. But the beating that Jan Roseboro suffered was brutal. It smacked of a girl attack from the start. Angie? I'm not sure. Hired help? Maybe. They wouldn't have had the emotional intimacy to Jan to prevent them from hitting and kicking her the way she was before she was tossed into the pool. The beating indicated rage, hatred, frustration or a complete lack of emotional closeness with Jan.
And the clean up? If there was hired help, a "team" could certainly overtake Jan quickly and forcefully and then have the manpower to get the scene taken care of.
If Mike attacked Jan, I think he'd show more than scratches. I think she would have fought for her life.
We have very little if no blood. We have few if any attack wounds on Mike, received from Jan in defending herself. And what about that jewelry?
The jewelry may in fact be missing. It may be what was used to pay for the beating and murder.
Mike's flat affect after the murder is telling. I think he might have been a bit more emotional or hyped up had he been the only one to physically beat, strangle and drown his wife and then clean up like a mad man.
Instead he was calm. Maybe the enormity of what had just happened was hanging all over him like a wet blanket.
And it surely didn't take him long to drop Angie's name at Jan's funeral. He called her a girl that was "sniffing around" him, and that he wasn't interested.
When Jan's body was claimed by the family is when Mike claims the jewelry wasn't returned to him.
I am anxious to hear the first responders' testimony as to the presence or absence of the jewelry.
It is a matter of Nursing Standards and Practice that any jewelry would have been documented at ECH in detail, down to the color of any stones or gems and the color of the metals. The Nursing and Medical Staff there have never shown anything but professionalism and a keen eye for total patient assessment.
Just my thoughts today....
It really isn't adding up....
And I remembered one comment made by someone very, very close to Angie.....
When asked how Angie felt after the murder, the person, who spoke with her in person stated,
"She was sad. Over losing Mike."
No shame, no embarrassment, no begging for forgiveness of her husband, even if just to make herself look good.
She was still on track. Her eyes have never left the prize.
If she is capable of tearing her daughters' lives apart and ripping the heart out of her husband, stepping over them to get what she wants, why would she hesitate to do anything she needed to to get to Mike. Would Jan Roseboro mean anything to her? Doesn't appear that way, does it?
The Roseboro children and their heartache even at their family dissolving in a divorce court had no impact on Angie. There was no mention of she and Mike having concern over the kids when she testified. She did mention Mike's money though. That was important enough to be discussed. And she didn't even appear to be ashamed to say it in open court.....

There is something very, very wrong here. And the DA may have one accused or alleged killer in jail. But there's more to this story.....

But the little voice is talking, so I'm listening :)

The Pregnancy, The Questions and The Fallout

Yesterday's publication about Angela Funk's pregnancy and the pursuit of clinical paternity sure stirred things up!
Those who haven't been following the case closely were shocked, some surprised and many left just shaking their heads.
Now, even more of Funks personal business it out there for all to read.
Alot of people have wondered all along how hard it had to be for Randy for live with the knowledge that she was pregnant to another man. Now he knows that the rest of the local world knows it too.
The ripple effect of this tragedy are so widespread.
Wives have learned that their husbands had affairs with Funk, thanks to a knock-knock, out of the blue from investigators on the case. Husbands have found out the same thing about their wives having dalliances with Roseboro.
Some friends who believed they were real, honest parts of the main players lives have learned that they never really knew these two at all.
Some aren't surprised by any of it. Not even a little bit.
Two people were so self-centered and so without personal restraint that they mowed down lives throughout the county. They couldn't put the brakes on.
Roseboro maintains his innocence so any outpourings of remorse are limited.
Funk has no remorse. She has stated that she "didn't do anything wrong". Really?
I'd love to know what formula she used to come up with that assessment.

So now, a continuance was granted thanks to a petition of the court by Mr. Sodomsky. This case will now drag out even longer. It's the middle of March. The trial was set for July 6, 2009. What on earth do they have on the list now that would require pushing the trial date even further back?
What has changed?
Jan Roseboro is still gone. Funk will deliver on April 1, 2009 give or take two weeks. Do they really believe that there is more exonerating evidence out there to find?
Why did Funk's attorney petition the court to delay the serology?
He wanted it postponed until after delivery, which makes no sense if the testing was not in utero.
It's the paternity that's at issue.
And for that, the child needs to be tested.
Interesting.......See what the professionals have to say:

1. Can a paternity test be performed without the mother?

Yes. If the mother's participation is not possible, we can perform a motherless paternity test at no additional charge. A motherless test requires more extensive analysis to produce conclusive results, but the results are just as accurate as those of a standard paternity test.

DDC encourages mothers to participate in paternity testing for the following reasons:

	Mothers who participate are guaranteed to receive a copy of the test results. Due to DDC's strict confidentiality policy, we are only able to release results to those tested, their authorized representatives (such as an attorney), or the tested child's legal custodian.
	Some courts require the mother to participate in a paternity test.
	The mother's participation aids in the analysis of unexpected results. Her participation is especially helpful in the rare cases when a mutation (a random change in the DNA) has affected the results.

The LNP articles never hinted that the testing was in utero, of the unborn child. So what results were they referring to in printing that the results in question weren't available or part of the record?
A simple swab from the inside of the cheek is all that is needed for DNA testing in most cases, if not all. That could be done once the child is born.
In utero testing is contraindicated in cases where the mother is more than 24 weeks along.


Here is the pre-birth scenario:

1. Can you do a paternity test before the baby is born?

Yes. If the mother is between 10 and 24 weeks pregnant, an OB-GYN can collect a DNA sample from the developing child through either chorionic villi sampling (10-13 weeks) or amniocentesis (14-24 weeks). The baby's prenatal sample is then compared against the mother's and alleged father's DNA samples, which are collected using the standard buccal swabbing method.

If the mother is more than 24 weeks pregnant, she must wait until the baby is born to do a paternity test. However, a newborn infant can be swabbed any time following birth, so a paternity test can be started soon after the delivery.

So it looks like Funk's blood sample was just taken for even more clarity in case of mutation of genes.....

1. Can a paternity test be performed without the mother?

Yes. If the mother's participation is not possible, we can perform a motherless paternity test at no additional charge. A motherless test requires more extensive analysis to produce conclusive results, but the results are just as accurate as those of a standard paternity test.

DDC encourages mothers to participate in paternity testing for the following reasons:

	Mothers who participate are guaranteed to receive a copy of the test results. Due to DDC's strict confidentiality policy, we are only able to release results to those tested, their authorized representatives (such as an attorney), or the tested child's legal custodian.
	Some courts require the mother to participate in a paternity test.
	The mother's participation aids in the analysis of unexpected results. Her participation is especially helpful in the rare cases when a mutation (a random change in the DNA) has affected the results.

So there will be no results until after the birth of the baby, if everyone has followed the accepted protocol.

I am sure Mr. Sodomsky is well versed on all of this by now so perhaps he planned all along to file for the continuance. Having blood samples taken at this time yields no results and would have no impact whatsoever until after the delivery. That leads me to believe he wanted the delay anyway, and planned on it prior to this latest chain of events.


The only thing left to surprise anyone would be for those test results to reveal that Roseboro is NOT the father of the baby. Could it happen? Yep. Nothing about Funk should surprise anyone anymore. But odds are, it's Roseboro's. Funk had him in her sights. And the baby just sealed the deal.

Angela Funk: A Study In Immorality

It's been a while since I posted here, so I need to get up to speed.

Angela Funk, pregnant with Michael Roseboro's baby, has been reported to have visited New York City to meet with the reps from 48 Hours to televise the tawdry, horrendous tale of events involving Angie and Jan Roseboro's husband, Mike.

It has also been reported that Randy has been making noises about leaving her. Family members have challenged that report. They state that Randy is "lead around by the nose (or other body parts) by Angie and her mistreatment of him hasn't diminished.

So currently, Angie is pregnant, Mike's trial date is July 6th (reportedly Angie and Randy's anniversary)**** and Angie is crying to her mother about the nasty posts she finds online. Too damned bad. You laid in the dirty bed Angie, now deal with it.

I'll be filling in the blanks here in a little while. I just wanted to post the latest happenings....

Stay tuned!



**** This date was reported incorrectly and told to me incorrectly. This is not the anniversary of the Funks. They were married on July 1. It is however the correct date as it stands on the docket for the commencement of the trial of The State of Pennsylvania vs. Michael A. Roseboro.

Murder In Lancaster County: The Very Beginning

This is where you'll learn about a journey that has taken 49 years thus far to trek...and it's far from over. To honor those that lost their lives to the selfishness of others, to call to task those that bashed the life out of innocent victims...this is why I will write this tale of a murder that took place in 1950...how it will forever be linked to another horrendous bloody murder that took place in small town America in the summer of 2008...both in the idyllic setting and rolling hills of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. The land of shoo-fly pies and horse and buggies, the Green Dragon and the tractor pulls at The Buck .... smiling Amish children licking the melting ice cream off of their suntanned fingers...the large, shiny SUV's circling in front of the expansive abodes on Country Club Lane...among these vastly different segments of "the County" two young women lost their lives. One met her death at the hands of a college student, in a never explained rage..the other, a smiling young mother, beaten so severely by her new inground pool in her family backyard, so viciously that the killer would never have had to toss her limp body into the water to finish the evil deed.
Marian Louise Baker and Jan Roseboro are both in the ground. They lie under headstones that can never tell their stories.
One killed by a man she knew little about. The other killed by a husband of nineteen years. Also a man that poor woman apparently, in the end, knew very little about.
