Janet March disappeared after a dispute with her husband Perry.

Is she dead or alive?  Perry was convicted of her murder.

 No  body was found. There is another possible explanation.

She may be a Dissociative Fugue victim.

Disappearances like this have been recorded for over a hundred years.

There is a long list of missing college students with similar stories.

This site is about a conflict of human physiology that shaped history but was undetected  until the 1960's.

In the entire history of man on the planet Earth this phenomenon was discovered only once.

It caused mental breaks for office workers.

You will find this material hard to believe.

This phenomenon is explained in first semester psychology lectures where students don't believe it either.

For that reason I wrote a demonstration that will allow you to experience the phenomenon.

The Everquest Connection page has the explanation and assumes you have not taken basic psychology.

The solution for this problem was the office Cubicle.

This site argues that the this phenomenon causes College Suicides and Missing Students.

The phenomenon causes mental events around the world, Chaco Canyon.

What do we know? Janet had changed her demeanor the day before the disappearance.

It could have been the beginning of a mental break.

Did she disappear or did she attack her husband with a knife?

July 2, 2007 Rebroadcast of the story

Tonight the story of Janet and Perry March was aired again.

Arthur March appeared and admitted to moving the body. His story of that move has changed from the original one. In the early renditions that came out through the press both children went to Kentucky with Perry and Arthur. That raises the problem of what did the children think of the smell when the body was transported in the car? There was no mention of what the children did on that night in tonight's broadcast.

Arthur told two stories that were diametrically opposed to each other and you could not tell which was true strictly by listening to him.

Guess what? ...He couldn't find the place where he disposed of the body.

Who would leave a plastic wrapped body in a brush pile for animals to locate by scent. He had no way to know when the bush pile would be burned. There was no mention of the size of the fuel, brush. All evidence including teeth disappeared if you believe Arthur.  The story doesn't add up.

The press has the advantage of presenting an unchallenged story of their own making. There was no adversarial opposing view.

What do we know? ...Janet had changed her demeanor drastically the day before she disappeared. That statement was given by an uninterested third party who had nothing to gain by his testimony, their contractor. It may not have been introduced at trial by defense or prosecution. They would not have understood what it meant.

The story we got second hand from Arthur March was that there was a fight. The most Perry could have been charged with if that were true is self defense. Even if convicted he would not have faced fifty years.

Is that possible that a small woman could have attacked her husband with a knife?

If you want to understand the power of Subliminal Distraction exposure look to the paranoid psychotic rant of Seng-Hui Cho, the Virginia Tech shooter.

Cho created the "special circumstances" for SD exposure when he used the suite common room to study while roommates walked by ignoring him. . Interviews of suite mates on Cable TV News programs said he increased the behavior in the month before the shooting.

There is scant direct evidence that Janet had Subliminal Distraction exposure. No one knew of the problem or gathered evidence of it.

But her problems as given by Perry fit the irrational, agitated, anxiety driven, paranoid behavior that SD might have caused. SD exposure would explain her displeasure with and desire to divorce her husband. Her mother said they were to go to a divorce attorney the day after Janet disappeared.

Perry would not have known what to say to meet the parameters of this exposure. The contractor did not understand this and did not know what to say to support the possibility that she had the mental event. Neither did the nanny. One of the contractors had lost $70,000 dollars when Janet refused to accept the quality of work on her home. It is widely known she had a running dispute with contractors. They could not satisfy her.

The Russian nanny inadvertently provided supporting testimony. She said Janet spent that last day on the computer and was "disturbed" that last day.

There were four people in the house who could have caused movement in Janet's peripheral vison while she worked. Her work as a artist meant that she spent many hours in deep concentration, dissociating, creating that art.

There would have been many opportunities for Subliminal Distraction exposure.

What does the sixteen year old son say today? At the time he claimed she drove off after waving to him.

December 25, 2006  --  Arthur March Dies

News Channel 5 in Nashville is reporting that Arthur March died Thursday in a Fort Worth Prison medical center. The transfer from Kentucky to Texas had been made because of his condition. He had a combination of medical problems but the cause of death is speculation at this time. He had heart trouble and cancer.

_________________________

August 15, 2006

I have been watching but unable to tape or make notes from a hospital bed at Emory Crawford Long Hospital, Atlanta. Today,  August 15, 2006, is my first day home Two new things have come forward.

Janet had a heavy computer use the day before she disappeared. We previously knew that she had a sudden striking change in demeanor that day also.

Now from taped testimony on Cable TV News programs we learn she had a running dispute with contractors building her house and that the principal contractor lost $70,000. Her painting contractor could not do work that suited her. She believed she was paying for a high standard and not receiving that. This does not mean that one of the men had reason to kill her as the attorney for the Levines seems to want Perry March to propose that on those old wrongful death suit tapes, but that Janet was in an altered mental state. She could not get along with business associates over the house construction.

The Levines sued Perry then used the deposition from that wrongful death suit to get his taped testimony about Janet's disappearance. The constant bickering about the phrasing of replies makes Perry look uncaring but you should remember he was being pressed to say something that could be used against him later and he was aware of it.

Dead or Alive

In each expert's testimony the fact that there has been no activity on Janet's cell phone or business accounts is evidence that she is dead. That is not necessarily so. People began to disappear under strange circumstances only to recover later thousand's of miles away in the 1880's. College students still do that today. It even happens to office workers and  knowledge workers. Those events hit the media for a few days then fade from memory. The talking heads venture opinions of why each case happens. No one ever blames exposure to visual Subliminal Distraction. (See site pages, here.)  Other experts claim that those who vanish this way eventually return in a year or so. That isn't true either. While Ahmad Arain was found in an altered mental state in Mexico, six weeks, Jennifer Wilbanks and others reappeared in a few days, Brian Shaffer, Maura Murray, and Tara Grinstead are all still missing. Ron Tammen who disappeared as a part of an outbreak of these events has been  missing fifty years. Mary Shotwell Little was believed abducted and murdered. Atlanta Lenox Square, 1965, may still be alive after more than forty years. (A  phone conversation with the cold case officer at the Atlanta Police department revealed that they had a problem with this phenomenon and had to switch to cubicles. They had not connected their office space problem with the Little/Shields unsolved cases.)

On The Other Hand

The possibility that she had a sudden violent episode and attempted to kill Perry has some validity. The same exposure to cause a disappearance, Dissociative Fugue, can be shown to be present  where sudden violence happens.  It is called Amok in Malaysia, and Going Postal here in the United Sates. Sudden violence happens around the world as part of Culture Bound Syndromes. The DSM has a diagnosis for it, Intermittent Explosive Disorder. IED involves a loss of impulse control and a string of events. Janet was having relationship problems and had no history of outbreaks.

One by one, examinations will show  these persons with IED accidentally create "special conditions"  and thus exposure from Subliminal Distraction. That exposure was the 1960's business office problem that caused sudden mental breaks.

Prosecution Theory of Events

Even though they have a witness, Arthur, that said the first burial was at a construction site, prosecution witnesses have told of a rug rolled up in the house. The original story was that the rug was seen in a dumpster after Janet disappeared. The witness for that rug is the Russian Nanny. She also testified that Janet spent that last day on the computer and that she was disturbed on that last day. Her account confirms a contractors story that Janet's demeanor had a drastic change the last day. Something was happening to Janet that peaked with the argument with Perry.

Things That Just Don't Add Up

Everyone is willing to believe that Arthur got in a car with Perry and the two children and drove into Kentucky to dispose of the body, a bag of bones. So what did the two children think of the smell? All these participants have an interest in espousing this belief. Arthur wants out of the whole thing, and the prosecution wants a conviction of Perry. Perry wants his father to be released because of his advanced age and health. But little things just keep cropping up.

Relationship problems

Some of the things said by Janet show a strange outlook on the relationship. There had been a harassment event at work, a  suit, and a settlement reached to avoid the suit. Perry set up an account to handle that payout. Janet demanded to know what he planned to do to make amends for the loss to their relationship. Even taking the text of letters and the woman's reaction to the attempted contact there is no evidence that Perry ever cheated. But testimony offered by jailhouse contacts said Perry told them he killed her because she intended to divorce him over cheating.

The general tenor is that Janet was unhappy with Perry believing that he was not carrying his share of the relationship obligations.

Sammy's memory

Age five at the disappearance then age nine at the time of a TV interview, Sammy claimed that Janet came to his room that night to say good-by and that she would see him in a few days. But he said she wore a favorite outfit of a white top and brown velvet slacks, not appropriate for the season and location. He further said he went to the window and waved to her. His grandmother appeared as rebuttal witness to say that he could not see his mother inside the car from his room window and that given the time there would have been no light for Sammy to see his mother.

But he could see the car. If lighting was low she would have turned on the car headlights. Perry is blamed for telling Sammy what to say in the intervening years before the interview. But why, if he had all that time, did Perry make those mistakes. A simple explanation is that the story is a child's attempt at resolution of his mother's disappearance.

Cornelius King and the Body Disposal

The jury has requested to re-hear two witnesses. King testified that Perry said Janet's body would not be found because it was burned up. That was not the story Perry had been told by his father. Arthur told Perry that the body was under water. Only when the story was given to  police did Arthur reveal that he had placed the body in a brush pile for burning. The story Perry should have told King was that the body was washed away.

Think of that again. ... Would you put a bag of bones in a brush pile where animals might pull it into view before the piled burned? A water disposal is more likely if it happened at all. I do not have the original source for this since I was in the hospital when the trial began. It may not be in trial testimony.

The second witness the jury wanted to re-hear was Mexican attorney Alberto Jose Sandoval Pulido. He had said that March threatened to do away with him and a client the same way Mach disposed of Janet. There was little available on what the details of the legal matter in Mexico were. But Pulido overheard March's comments in English during an exchange.
 

 August 17.2005...

The case has gone to the jury and they have been out more that the time all the talking heads expected. Discussions are now about why the story of his conviction of conspiracy to kill the Levines was allowed in the murder trial. The comments are peppered with "but if''s." None of the hired guns for COURT TV is willing to say if the case might be overturned by the judicial error of allowing the knowledge of the conspiracy case in this trial.

Guilty On All Counts

The verdict came in too late for the time slot COURT TV allotted for trial coverage so that today, Friday August 18, the shows ran tape of interviews. A consistent opinion is that the material used to convict Perry came after he was returned from Mexico and was gathered though his own mistakes and admissions. A common comment was, " How could an attorney be that dumb?" Another was, "How did he ever get through law school.?" It was then mentioned that he was a real-estate attorney.

Still under discussion are the court's decisions that allowed normally excluded information. The attempt to kill the Levines was allowed to reach the jury. In fact is was a major part of the prosecution. The issue is that a defendant's US constitutional rights are superceded by state rules on evidence.

As a bizzatro counterpoint to this Nashville drama the JonBenet  Ramsey murder is back in the news  The news media is into full swing before all the facts are in evidence. The confession given said that JonBenet was picked up from school and accidentally killed. This was aired before someone remembered that she was killed on Christmas and there was no school. ... Here we go again!!

Breaking news: The  top of the page begins after this news section.

April 20, 06

Nashville Media is reporting that Perry March was convicted of stealing money from his father in-law's law firm. Speculation is being reported that March will seek a plea bargain in the other cases.

There has been no mention of discovery motions for the next two cases or any information that evidence has been found to establish that Janet is dead.

NewsChannel 5 Exclusive: Arthur March Reveals New Details About Murder

Arthur March says that they bought bleach to deal with odor but only bones remained so that he could easily carry the package to the brush pile. Would the body have been reduced to bones in the five weeks after the event? The state medical examiner said it was possible but had reservations that a body buried in a bag would deteriorate in five weeks.

The senior March said that he dug up the body then waited in the open at the construction site while Perry drove around the block. In Franklin Kentucky he said he dug two holes under the brush pile for the clothes and body. Previous accounts said he put the body in the brush pile so it would burn.

The news story said that some have doubted Arthur March's body disposal method.

Plea Deal Scratched At Last Minute Posted: 2/9/2006 5:00:00 PM Updated: 2/9/2006 5:59:09 PM
 

WTVF News Channel 5 is reporting that a deal that would have closed the case has fallen through when Perry March backed out.

"Defense attorneys and prosecutors met for 10 days late last month and in the end hammered out a plea agreement: Perry would do 20 years, and Arthur agreed to a likely five year prison sentence....One of Perry's attorneys, John Herbison, won't comment on plea negotiations. He said Perry maintains his innocence and looks forward to his day in court. "

Monday Feb 6, 2006

The Nashville Tennessean is reporting that Arthur March will plead guilty to assisting his son Perry March in disposing Janet's body. Facts reported in the newspaper are in conflict with testimony already published about the disappearance.

Arthur March is said to have driven with Perry to Bowling Green Kentucky five weeks after the death. Perry stayed in a motel while Arthur disposed of the body by placing in in a pile of brush slated to be burned. Perry March is reported to have killed his wife with a wrench during an argument. A TV news story reported Arthur in Kentucky with Nashville police on Friday.

Remember that the police took the house apart attempting to find a crime scene. Hitting someone in the head with a steel object would have produced splatter. If you give the Nashville police even minimum credit for competency, they didn't find a crime scene in the house.

There have been reports that Perry March was observed watching a dumpster with a rolled up carpet in it. He is reputed to have warned away a witness telling the person that a dog was wrapped up in the carpet.

It is unlikely that Arthur March could have carried a body to a trash pile and moved enough material to hide the body under it. He would have been 68 (?) in 1996. Would you leave a five week old decomposing body in a trash pile that might be burned?

Why did Perry stay behind in a motel? Where were the two children? If the children were taken and left with Perry in a motel they would have remembered the trip. Bowling Green is sixty miles from Nashville. How did Arthur March know about the farm, and the brush pile. Driving on a farm would explain changing tires if the date corresponds to the five week window. Perry said he changed the tires because it was on a list of chores Janet left for him. But the tire purchase is noted as happening five days after she disappeared not five weeks.

The oldest child has given two stories about the night Janet disappeared. In one he heard an argument and in the other his mother came in and said goodbye.

The story just doesn't sound right. The police have attempted to indict area businessmen in the disposal of her body. They suspected that she was buried under a concrete floor at a client's business. But the building's construction date eliminated that theory.

It might be possible that this is what happened but I have suspicions that Arthur is leading the prosecution around. One attorney used as a consultant for a news service admitted that Arthur might be making it all up.

There should  be additional information in the next few days. Everyone is waiting for the other shoe to drop. What will Perry March say?

News channel 5 has video available. They are reporting that the brush pile was on a farm.

http://www.newschannel5.com/content/perry_march/17166.asp

Perry's Attorney held a four hour meeting with him Monday night and said that Perry disputed his father's account of the events. The second shoe bounced.

Janet March

48Hours aired the story again tonight, Saturday December 10th. There was no mention of the picture submitted and purported to be Janet March alive. It was taken from a Mexican magazine.

While there isn't enough resolution in the magazine picture we know that Perry March's current wife found it in a Mexican magazine. The original publisher had a high resolution picture. I believe the story was connected to Olympic sports. The picture was a random crowd shot.

Perry March has said he believes it is his former wife. The Levine's deny it is their daughter.

 Arthur March's confession has "holes" as discussed above. Zooming the images until the eye spacing matches allows a comparison. Simple facial measurements to compare eye spacing  to other facial features might confirm or eliminate the possibility that Janet March is still alive.

The subject of look-alike pictures in magazines came up with US soldiers who were missing and believed prisoners in Vietnam.

NEW---  WTVF Channel 5 in Nashville has a story that Janet March's demeanor changed radically the day before she disappeared.

"Blair was repairing stucco, and he said to this day, he remembers a change in Janet's demeanor just before her mysterious disappearance.

“She would not do anything. She'd just sit on the steps and look at the floor. She would barely walk around the house. She would go into the kitchen area a little bit and then back and stand in the middle of the room waiting,” Blair said. “Mr. March would talk and Janet wouldn't even look at you. She wouldn’t even look up at you or want to talk or worry about what color the walls were or what they were doing at all to the house.”

Blair said he didn't think anything of it until police arrived to search the house on August 29th. He said that's when he learned Janet disappeared two weeks earlier.

The renovations on the home were canceled, and the contractors were sent home without being questioned."
 

Contractor Dayton Blair, is quoted in the transcript of the news report.

http://www.newschannel5.com/content/news/14459.asp

This is the first evidence of a mental event beginning before the disappearance the next day.

_____________________

Janet March disappeared after a dispute with her husband. Her car was found abandoned with personal effects in it. No body has been found. There is no direct evidence that she is dead. There are eyewitness accounts of things that point to her murder by Perry March, her husband.

Her disappearance follows a pattern if you are familiar with a problem of human physiology discovered almost fifty years ago.  She is not the only person to disappear under similar circumstances.

Student Disappearances

There has been an ongoing problem of sudden unexplained student disappearances at colleges across the country. Only one of the recent missing students has recovered and returned. Ahmad Arain disappeared while on a bus to a meeting at UCLA. Six weeks later he had recovered enough to remember his home email address. --- Arain had been found wandering in Mexico. He was in an altered mental state.

One other missing student, Kristen Modafferi,  has been sighted in Nicaragua. Someone spoke to her and reported she was in an altered mental state.

Maura Murray, U Mass, had a mental event while working at a security station on campus. She had to be helped back to her room. Within a few days she had wrecked two cars and disappeared. There was a strange voice mail  message to her boyfriend serving in Iraq. He reported hearing sounds of whimpering and crying as the only message. He was able to check their joint phone account.

Josh Guimond left a party to walk back to his dorm. Searches of the lake and surrounding woods failed to turn up anything. He is the last of four students who disappeared in the fall of 2002.

The first account of the mysterious disappearance of a student happened at Miami of Ohio in 1953. Ron Tammen had played string base at a dance party in the afternoon. He drove his car back to school and started studying psychology. He was seen at eight pm but was gone by ten pm when his roommate returned. His car keys and other personal effects were on the study desk with his open psychology book. Later when they began looking for him it was discovered he had walked miles to a house and asked directions to a non-existent bus stop. The home resident reported that Tammen was confused and didn't know his own name. He was too lightly dressed for the cold night. There was snow on the ground. He has been missing over fifty years.

Other students at Miami had disappeared, recovered, then returned to school They thought Tammen would return too. Those first victims wrote letters assuring Tammen's parents he would return. The psychology department called this a "Case of Amnesia."

When you visit the Library site at Miami of Ohio you can view the pictures of an un-protected student desk in a too-small dorm room. That link is on both the Missing Students and Mysterious Disappearances pages on this site.

How does this connect to Janet March?

She designed and built her new home. If she created the same circumstances in her studio that allow exposure to this phenomenon she would have experienced the same mental break.

Working as an artist requires the same mental investment as office workers must use to perform their duties. To be able to maintain concentration each person must learn to ignore movement around them that would trigger peripheral vision reflexes.

But humans can't turn the detection, warning, system off. That detection happens subliminally so there is no information transmitted to warn you if you ignore the reflexes but remain in the location where repeating detectable movement continues to trigger those reflexes.

The event is sudden and unexplained. The only warning I find is a flurry of strange activity near the point of disappearance. The story from WTVF that Janet March's demeanor had changed radically the day before she disappeared is that type activity. Confusion in the scheduling of a play date was another.

This activity is evidenced in the disappearance of Mary Shotwell Little and Diane Shields from Atlanta, 1965 and 1967. Both women used the same desk at C&S Bank in downtown Atlanta. Each began to do and say strange things just before they disappeared. The phenomenon was discovered in that time period but the Cubicle was introduced in 1968; too late for the women to benefit from the discovery. Shields was murdered and Little is still missing.

When I spoke with the cold case officer he remembered that the Atlanta Police Department had problems with the phenomenon and had to switch to Cubicles. He had made a connection to the Little/Shields disappearances. Little Disappearance page.

The recent Jennifer Wilbanks case follows that same pattern as does the Aubrey Seiler case.  Wilbanks Case

It's all there if you understand the problem of "Subliminal Distraction," and know what to look for.

What causes this?

This site argues that a little known conflict of physiology is at the bottom of both missing students and unexplained college suicides. Missing Students     College Suicides

The conflict of physiology is that while you can learn to ignore vision reflexes the facts of the 'physiology of sight' will not allow you to "stop subliminally seeing" threat movement approaching from behind to trigger those reflexes. That subliminal operation of the detection system prevents you learning that your brain is still attempting to force the reflex.

Too-close side-by-side seating in all classrooms copies the design problem that allowed the original discovery. Classroom exposure creates a base line for sensitive students so that additional accidental exposure can cause the expected mental break. Each person experiences the event differently.  If the psychotic delusions associated with that experience are about despondency the sudden onset creates a situation for suicide.

Culture Bound Syndromes included in the DSM for the first time support the suggestion that cultural values shape the outcome of the mental break. Culture Bound Syndromes page, on this site.

The episodes happen other places. Both Qi Gong and Kundalini Yoga have psychotic episodes associated with them. The exercises involve eyes-open meditation in exercise groups. That mental investment is the same as the concentration required of office workers. When performed in groups the exercises allow the subliminal detection of threat movement due to others performing the same movements near by.  For over 3000-years the two exercise forms claimed to create medical and spiritual benefits. When the psychotic mental events happen failure to perform the exercise correctly has been blamed. Now many sites correctly state that too many exercise periods in a compact time frame cause the mental breaks. But most sites still do not understand what the true cause is.  Qi Gong   Kundalini Yoga

When the estimated exposure rates and different outcomes of those two exercises are evaluated a model can be constructed for Schizophrenia. Children as young as five can have Schizophrenia but the usual onset is in adolescence. Why? Puberty causes a growth spurt. Larger bodies are easier to detect when they move near a sensitive concentrating student in a classroom. Cause of Psychotic Mental Illness

How do you resolve the cause of her disappearance?

Only one thing will resolve this. Searching her activities in the weeks just before the disappearance to find a source of exposure. Either she did or did not have exposure to the phenomenon.

The most likely source is her studio or computer workstation.

The Nashville Police Department has not responded to emails. I have several communications out seeking a contact to help with  media news releases.

CBS News and 48 Hours will not respond to emails on their programs about this disappearance. They have reported three stories involving this phenomenon; The Everquest addiction story, Evercrack; the disappearance murder of Beverly Watson, Riverdale Ga; and this story about Janet March.

Edit stopped 8:20 am EST. It will be several days before this page takes a final shape. Given the volume of material on this three year project you should be able to put this together using the site links.

This beginning text is from the Mysterious Disappearances page.

Six years ago Janet March disappeared from Nashville Tennessee. The story was featured on 48Hours Investigates. She left on a separate vacation with conflicting reasons given. He claimed she never returned. Her car, a Volvo, was found abandoned. She had a home (?) art studio and had designed and built her dream home. Her design work would fit both the stationary work element and high mental investment of the SPVP profile. She told friends she was divorcing her husband but he disputed that. There were conflicting dates for a child's birthday party raising suspicion that she never left on the vacation or came back days earlier than a note said she would. His alibi depended on which day she might have returned. In the written story on the network site several people saw a large rug police believe her husband used to dispose of her body. He said the only rug in the house was a carpet runner not big enough to wrap a body. (5/28/03 - This story was re-aired. The police official said there were several sources for the information but the narration again said one woman arrived for a play date and saw the rug.) In the segment only one person was interviewed and said she saw the rug. (If only one person saw the rug false memory on that piece of evidence is a possibility.) No physical evidence was found. Her friends said the sudden vacation would have been out of character for her. The friends were interviewed on camera. They all said this did not fit the person they knew. They agreed she would not just go away leaving her child. He had replaced the tires on his SUV. His reason for buying tires conflicted with stories from tires store employees. Police believed this tire replacement was to prevent soil or tread mark evidence being discovered. This could be either a murder or a classic case of SPVP. (48 Hours Mysteries  ran the story again tonight May 28. The computer was apparently moved before police arrived .)

I have tried to reach 48 Hours by email. They have not replied except to recommend the on-line store. I sent additional emails on March 30. I suggest that 48 hours has reported three connected stories.: The Beverly Watson disappearance/murder, Evercrack, the suicide of Shawn Woolley, and this story on Janet March are connected by this phenomenon.

There is no one to contact. The husband and children are in Mexico.

Of the current missing students only Ahmad Arain has recovered and returned. He disappeared from a bus on his way to a meeting at UCLA. Six weeks later he recovered enough to remember his email address. He had been found in Mexico wandering in an altered mental state. (There are now several students who disappeared but returned this spring and summer, August, 2006.)

On Sept. 7, Janet's new Volvo 850 sedan was discovered parked at the Brixworth Apartments on Harding Road. Her purse and personal items were inside. A pair of her sandals appeared to have been carefully placed, rather than simply dropped, in front of the vehicle, according to a report in Nashville Scene.

From the couple's home, police seized a stained bath mat and shirt, more than 20 computer disks, a magazine, a letter, a legal pad, assorted notes and "fiber trace evidence." Investigators have never commented on blood-test results from the mat and shirt or on the significance of any of the items.

Note that the detail of the placement of shoes matches a detail in the Mary Shotwell Little disappearance. Little rolled up stockings and carefully placed them in the blood smeared car.

Why would any one skillful enough to hide a body for this many years make a mistake like that?

Contractor Says Janet March’s Demeanor Changed In Days Before Her Disappearance
September 9, 2005

"...“She would not do anything. She'd just sit on the steps and look at the floor. She would barely walk around the house. She would go into the kitchen area a little bit and then back and stand in the middle of the room waiting,” Blair said. “Mr. March would talk and Janet wouldn't even look at you. She wouldn’t even look up at you or want to talk or worry about what color the walls were or what they were doing at all to the house.” ..."

"In The Book of Five Rings, Miyamoto Musashi, the legendary swordsman of 16th century Japan, implies that he fought his greatest duels with his eyes crossed, and goes into considerable detail about developing and using this strange abitlity."

The first paragraph on this page refers to psychological factors effecting pupil dilation.

"Interestingly, the pupil/iris combination also changes in response to psychological factors. One sign of activation of the sympathetic nervous system, which is a system important in arousal, fight, and flight, is dilated pupils. For example, sexual interest results in pupil dilation. (This piece of information may come in handy some time.)"
