Wow. I just listened to the 911 tape and I am stunned. I say this because I just watched the Dateline special on this case and saw that the jury found him guilty. I am stunned because after watching it on TV I assumed that the 911 tape would reveal Ryan was guilty based on the testimony shown on TV by Dateline (smoking gun if you will), however, that was not the case. I say this because there was, in my opinion, nothing that was shown that would convince me that he was guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. What I heard, and frankly I am dumbfounded that anyone else who would hear this would not agree, was a scattered, frightened, helpless man (especially getting NO help from the 911 operator)trying to save his wife's life. He sounded like I think he should. And by the way, on the tape he told the 911 guy that he had already tried to resuscitate Sara (" the best I know how")while she was in the tub. Ryan also said that he had let the water drain, wouldn't anyone do that instinctively? That's the first thing I would do if I found someone face down in the tub after I lifted their head up. So that to me would explain why she wasn't sopping wet.(If it were me and I was in shock, I don't think I could specifically say how much time had passed before the 911 call, could anyone?) If he had let the water out of the tub first and then spent time trying to give CPR before making the 911 call of course the bathroom would not be soaked, right? Is this what happens when a rush to judgment occurs? When the woman you love is found face down lifeless in a tub of water I would expect that the 911 call would sound something just like this. He was trying to save her and had called for help.(By the way, how long and how many pauses were there from the 911 guy? He really is bad at his job.) There were several times in that call where you could literally hear Ryan's pain as he sat helplessly as his wife's life slipped through his hands. I hope that the next jury uses more common sense when deliberating, and I hope they get to hear that tape. Good luck Ryan, my prayers are with you. I am so sorry for your loss, and also for Sara's family's loss. But sometimes there really isn't someone to blame.

Has anyone noticed on the 911 call that the tub was drained even though Sarah was still in it? Ryan tells the douche bag 911 operator that he had drained the tub and been trying to give her CPR. How long had she been in the tub without the water? If the tub was drained before the call then there was at least 7 minutes (the length of the call) before the parametics arrived for the water to dry from Sarah's skin and this explains why there wasn't water all over the floor. the juror that was interviewed stated that there was only two minutes from the time he took her out of the tub before the parametics arrived, and that she should have been soaking wet. Duh, the dumbass should have realized that the tub had been drained before he removed her. Did the jurors not listen to the same tape that i heard? Poor Ryan, I would hate to know that the outcome of my life was in the hands of dumbasses like the juror that was interviewed. What a shame!!!! The 911 call shows a young man scared to death and trying to do what he could to save his wife's life. I never hear the operator tell him what to do to help save her. He should be FIRED!!! This poor young man was trying to remain calm and do the right thing.It was probably so unbelievable that this was happening to his young beautiful wife. I'll keep Ryan and his family in my prayers.

I was unfamiliar with this case before watching the Dateline special on 9/18/09. After watching this, I felt a need to write and see if it was called to anyone's attention that the addition of salt of any type (Bath salts, epsom salts, sea salts - common additives in bath products) to bathwater can greatly reduce, perhaps even negate the effects of pruning to the skin.
From Wikipedia:
Salts change the osmotic balance of the water so that less water is absorbed by the skin via osmosis. This reduces the "pruning" or "wrinkling" effect of prolonged exposure of skin to fresh water.
If Sarah was using a popular, yet common brand of bath salts, she would have experienced very little pruning to her fingers and toes.

Time to air dry.. possible
Has anyone considered the bathtub is on the top floor of their house? Heat rises making the upstairs potentially warmer than normal.
Where is the thermostat? Is there a heat vent that blows on or near the place she lay?
Was there a window open upstairs causing a large amount of air to move through the room?
I notice the tile in the bathroom is travertine, a porous limestone which quickly absorbs water and can appear dry in a minute, though it is wet inside. Were samples done on the tiles to detect moisture inside of them?
The detective says if she drowned, there wouldnt have been items on the edge of the tub. Likewise, if she was murdered, these items would have been knocked off.
I like the statement about bath salts. Were bath salts present?
GOOD LUCK RYAN! You dont deserve this BS! God bless!

I just got word that we are NOT allowed to send Ryan envelopes at the new facilty! So we don't need to purchase and send him the special envelopes like we have in the past.
As previously stated in earlier blogs - he didn't get to bring his belongings so he has asked that everyone include your address on the letter itself.
He says that sometimes the mail workers rip the return addresses when the mail is opened before he receives it. Please include your address on emails as well, so he can write back to you.
He also has been given a pen to write but they are bendable and very hard to write with. He says he will be writing us back but it might take a little longer since writing with these is difficult and will slow the process down. He apologizes ahead of time for any delays, but wants us to know that we will hear back from him.

What the hell? I was just watching the news and the Prosecutor was stating that the appeals court had already indicated that they would not grant Ryan a new trail... Who is she to go to the Appeals court and speak with them about this? This is done through Breifs..not her personal contact. If I am wrong..Please someone correct me. Misconduct written all over this Witch!
