Girls, I Am Telling You, That Dale Bruner Is Some Piece Of Work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                        Dale Bruner is the coolest psychopath I have ever seen.  The way he just sat there, and calmly chatted with Keith Morrison, on Dateline, as though they were having tea at  the Palm Court, with those cold eyes staring straight on, says much.

                                           I have no doubt Dale murdered his lovely wife, Stephanie Roller Bruner, but it was a tragedy that should not have happened.

                                            On November 23, supposedly, Stephanie went for a walk that evening to clear her head, even though the Colorado air was freezing.  Only nine hours after she did not return did Bruner notify anyone; so, right away, what is up, with that?  Three days later, on November 26, Stephanie's body was found in the Blue River, not 350 yards from her home.  She was naked from the waist down, and appeared to have died from blunt force trauma, hypothermia, strangulation, and drowning.

                                             Some thought, especially early on, Stephanie might have been the victim of random violence.  But when Dale's history came out--a girl friend who testified that, during heated arguments, he would put his hands on her neck (!!!!!!), a Domestic Violence professional who cited Bruner not so much as a murderer, but a man with severe anger problems which erupted into murder.  And Stephanie herself--taped testimony, weeks before her death, how Dale had said if she tried to leave him, he would kill her; a restraining order she had filed for, due to Bruner's alleged child abuse of their son.  And the most damning of all--the withdrawal of that order, due to fear, plus the fact that she was moving on with her life.  She had been seeing another man, but, though that relationship came to a crashing halt, there was no doubt Stephanie was going to move on from Dale.  And that he could not tolerate.

                                                Though why he thought he would get away with something when the facts are right before you, speaks less of intelligence, and more towards how skewered the brain starts to think once it veers onto a criminal path.

                                                    A jury found Dale guilty on several counts, including evidence tampering, and sentenced him to--get this!!!!!!!!--112 years in prison!  He will never see freedom again, but it would be great if he lived out those 112 years.  To think about the years he took not only from Stephanie, but her relationship with her children, and his as well--those kids, wisely, are now being raised by Stephanie's brother and his wife!!!!!!!!!!!

                                                     And, Dale, when you cross over and face Stephanie, I hope she smacks you as hard as you did her!!!!!!!!!!!   Repeatedly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
