Three months from today, we will observe the sixth anniversary of the murder of Stacey Burns. Here are just a few random meanderings as that incredibly sad occasion approaches . . .
I wonder why Mr. Burns isn’t more in the forefront of demanding an arrest? Sure, she was divorcing him but still he was married to her for seventeen years and they had five children together.
I wonder if the police will ever get tired of waiting for the killer to walk in and give himself or herself up? It’s been a year and half since an article published in a newspaper here in Arizona mentioned that they were waiting for this to happen.
I wonder how Stacey’s children are doing? Thankfully, it appears they are safe physically but I do think about what they have had to deal with emotionally and only hope they are all OK.
I wonder about the resilience of human beings and their ability to move forward after enormous tragedy? That resilience, I believe, is a precious gift. Otherwise, most people would be in the proverbial dire straights, mentally.
I wonder how a town heals after such a blow to its heart.
There are many more wonderings on my mind, as I’m sure there are on yours. Here’s my last one, and I apologize for being repetitious as I have mentioned this before. I wonder how a human being could possible commit the kind of violence that occurred in Stacey’s murder and not be dragged down by that awful knowledge of what he/she has done and then, most amazing of all to me, continue to waltz through life as if nothing had happened.
Just wondering as the sixth year draws to a conclusion . . .

I’ll take a shot at the last comment; 1% of humans are capable of cold blooded murder. That group is not like the rest of us. Abuse of some sort as a child enabled them to live life without empathy. At some point in Ed’s life he sold his sole to the devil. Stacey would say that after a good beating he would look at her bruises and say “look what you made me do”. You see Ed believes Stacey had to die, a honor killing if you will. He feels good about what he did. Remember as a merchant marine he spent much of his life in places where killing your unfaithfull wife is the only thing TO do. Getting inside the head of a psychopath is not fun.
While’st the killer is known to all of us in town and most see ( ) throughout the week.The killer has to be local. Figure it out folks. Put circumstance together. Does it or does it not take a person with Anti-social behavior to do this horrible deed and just walk away like nothing happened. Anti social behavior has several forms of mental illness to be this callus.I believe this person to be over compulsive, to suffer from Bipolar Disorder, borderline Psychotic, and be of sexual disfunction form the ferocity of the act. Not to mention the lack of morality, guilt or values of any sort. Just cares of themselves and what they can get or do next by deception without connection.This heinous act was done up close and personal as to settle a score of “betrayal and respect”. This murderer possibly was under the impression that love or something of value had been stolen thru deception of someone close to them. Unforgiving LOVE lent to violence of this magnitude…….
Mr. Vittum, throughout this blog you’ve actually had nothing good to say about anybody at all. You too know more than you would let on about the circumstance of Stacey’s death. It must be pretty important to you to lead others into your cynical way thinking and to point a finger at someone that has already been cleared by professionals.. My perception of you, is that of self gratification as in” look at me folks”, I’ll straighten this out and come to the truth. Ok then Deputy Vittum, Who killed Stacey Burns? Prove it or shut your mouth. Enough is enough out of you……SAVE YOUR RETRIC FOR THE CRAPPER.
Then there are others that have put it together. They cannot involve themselves for reasons of self indictment of immoral behavior themselves. Key Club you say? No. Just a bunch of drunks and dopers ,you are. All that lifestyle you all lived got you nothing down the road but divorce and discontent. You are cowards yourselves for not coming forward. I wonder what your friends , relatives and children say of you in the future? This is a chance for you to straighten up your life and clean your conscience you can once again live in peace. It takes just a small contribution on your part To bring peace to the grave. Step up and be the person your mom and dad taught you to be. Or than maybe you are just as guilty as this Filthy Killer of Children ….Then you have all those that would say that Stacey was their best friend ever. You all belong on the wall of shame just like those that lie of being veterans or even war heros when they don’t even know the business end of a weapon. IF YOU ACTUALLY WERE THAT FRIEND? WHY DID YOU DESERT STACEY?You just want others to look at you and say ,” Oh you poor thing”.
THINK ABOUT THIS. SET THE RECORD STRAIGHT HERE ON EARTH SO OTHERS MAY REST BEFORE YOU COME TO THE FINAL JUDGE OF ALL…… YOUR MAKER. LOCK THiS PERSON OR PERSONS UP. MoRE OVER< GIVE YOURSELF UP.
YOU CAN NO LONGER WALK SHOP OR DRIVE OUR STREETS OUR STREETS WITHOUT KNOWING THAT WE THE PEOPLE ARE WATCHING AND STUDYING YOU FROM EVERY ANGLE.
Relentlessly, a week before Stacey was killed she told me “he’s going to kill me” and a day before she was killed she told me “he’s up to something” She wasn’t talking about a lover, a drug addict or anyone from your phony ass key club. She was talking about the same person that had beaten her and threatened her for 17 years, she was talking about Ed. The police and the family have both said they have ONLY two suspects. I know who killed Stacey if only because I know who didn’t. Now Bruce. I mean Relentlessly. keep up the goods work.

N.H justice at it’s finest ! This skanky little sex slave whore tricks this nice little U.N.H. student into going over to her sick boyfriends house. When they get there this skank helps her boyfriend rape torture and murder the nice girl. Then the little skank dumps the body in the ocean never to be seen again. The state of N.H. gave this evil bitch all of 3 years in prison. The Ag’s office felt “sorry” for her. Go back to sleep.
Children are now being marched into cages and burned. And we sit and watch, I take that back , we sit and we refuse to watch. Instead we argue about what a marriage is, or when a baby becomes a life. Jeff Strelzin letting Ed Burns get away with murder is not a crime. Us letting Jeff Strelzin let Ed get away with murder is the crime.
It must be share hell to sit and wait for the AG to come and get you. I often wonder what a murdering fool like you must feel like. Then I can’t even imagine what you go thru. I’ve never been in your nickers. Do you even have dreams? Do you relive the actual act of murder over and over? Is it even possible for you to love? Do you have any morals at all? Does the person you’re closest to know about the ferocious killing you’ve done?
Thing is, we are all still looking at you. Can’t you even feel us doing so? I’m sure you can. You can no longer hide by blending in. Because you don’t.
I may have finally found some clarity in N.H.’s theory of evil. These guys are all lefties, Hassan , Strelzin and our Police colonel and of course our brilliant, young leader, President Obama is a lefty. Today we heard “we must consider the legitimate grievance they have” Now the president is talking about people who de-capatete, burn to death and shoot in the back of the head people who dare to admit they believe in God. Can you believe some people still believe in God ? Anyway lefties don’t. I guess who ever “slaughtered” Stacey, (Strelzin’s word, not mine) had a “legitimate grievance”. If you think getting inside a psychopath’s head is a strange place, try getting inside the head of a lefty !
