Brace yourselves, true crime loathers, for the next missing wife trial

Well, a woman in the process of divorce, anyway.

Here in the bay area, Scott Peterson is just over his honeymoon period in prison, yet we’re looking to start on the next overblown case.

A woman in Oakland, California disappeared a few weeks ago right after dropping her kids off to visit her soon-to-be ex-husband. She had been a doctor in Russia, and IIRC, came here as a mail-order bride. The police have been searching the ex-husband’s house in the past, after which he got an attorney and clammed up. His house was searched again last night, and it was just announced that he was arrested.

Not only does he share a name with Paul Reiser, but he looks a lot like him. I wonder if they’re related?

Hans Reiser is the developer of the ReiserFS - a journaling file system used in some Linux distributions.
If he is guilty, it will be a great loss to the Free Software community.
