I am the mother of Terri Petit and I have alot to say.The man that killed her does not deserve to walk the streets,drive or live. He killed my daughter and I will never forgive him or the justice system for what they have put my 3 grandsons, myself, or her whole family through. I know in my heart if the system doesn't do anything then our all mighty lord will.My grandsons and I will face him one day and he will hear what we have to say.I feel in my heart that Clayton County should have the death penalty.I hope if anyone reads this they will respond to me.Our lives will never be the same.I see her everwhere I go. I dream of her every night. She was my Little Girl and always will be My Little girl. Audrey Niehaus, mother of Terri Petit

i really agree to audrey niehaus, terri had alot of friends and family in guttenberg and South C. she was a out going person.. i miss her very much, but the guy that killed her should be in prison or not even living.. theres no reason for anyone to kill any one. it doesnt matter what ur fighting about its not right at all.. this christmas and every other chirstmas is not gunna be the same with out terri around, we will all miss u SO much! i hope u have a merry christmas, in memory of Terri Petit!!!
luv u soo much!!

I thought Guttenberg invented the printing press? Boy I need to get out more.

[Alexis Harbaugh_]

printing press.. what are u talking about...lol..

[Happy right now]

What happened to innocent until proven guilty? I do not know Mr. Pierce, nor did I know Terri, but there is a lot more to this story than what has come out. Maybe you should question ex police officer Moser about it. I understand he refused to show up for court twice, on this matter, and had to be supeoned for the 3rd court date. What is he trying to hide about it?

[your one and only sister]

i didn't know that moser refused to so up for court in the matter of my sister's death do you have any other info on this matter? i was told it was put on hold because they weren't sure what questions they could ask him on the stand because of the trouble he is in. ya there is more to this store and i know all of it. ya curt killed my sister i was on the phone with her when he took her life.i live with that everyday as does curt for what he KNOWS he did.

[Sick and disgusted]

It sickens me to no end that we're still awaiting trial for a murder that occurred nearly a year and a half ago -- There is a serious problem with a justice system that takes so long to prosecute - there'll likely be another long haul in the appeal process as well. Meanwhile Curt gets to walk the streets and live life... despicable

Well I knew the both of them and if you ask ANYBODY that knows Curt, they will tell you that he treated her "like gold". He was the only person that desperately tried to help Terri become a better person and get off the multiple drugs she was on and start taking care of her children properly. He paid her bills, fed her kids that she couldn't support (because she rarely worked), bought her and her kids a car, clothes, video games, etc. He was the only "father figure" your grandsons had in their life and the ONLY chance they had to become nice young gentlemen. EVERYONE knows Terri had an explosive personality and picked fights on a daily basis with everyone she knew, so it is her own fault that she decided to walk along the highway that night....DON'T BLAME THE ONLY MAN THAT GAVE A SHIT ABOUT HER and SHAME ON YOU SHERRI FOR PUTTING CURT DOWN WHEN YOU KNOW DAMN WELL HOW MUCH HE DID FOR YOUR SISTER. The truth will come out and you will all regret what you have done to Curt and his family because they are suffering just as much as the Petit family. WHY DONT' YOU ALL GROW UP AND COME TOGETHER TO FIND OUT WHO REALLY "ACCIDENTALLY" HIT YOUR DAUGHTER AS SHE CHOSE TO WALK THE HIGHWAY THAT CHRISTMAS NIGHT DRUNK AND STONED.

MAYBE WE SHOULD LET THE CLAYTON COUNTY COPS KNOW THAT YOU ARE LOCATED IN MISSOURI SO YOU CAN COME BACK AND FACE THE MULTIPLE WARRANTS FOR YOUR ARREST, You should still be a prime suspect yourself since you are the one that went and got stoned with your sister right before she stumbled out onto the highway. As far as anybody knows, you could have been the one that actually hit her so stop pointing fingers and trying to ruin another family....THE ONLY FAMILY THAT GAVE TERRI A CHANCE. I'M SURE YOU ENJOYED SUCKING ALL THE MONEY OUT OF CURT, HE WAS EVEN MAN ENOUGH TO TAKE CARE OF YOUR KIDS THAT YOU RAN OUT ON AND LEFT BEHIND IN GUTTENBERG TO FEND FOR THEMSELVES.

If you are so religious then maybe you should have tried to help your daughter like Curt did. You too know how much he did for her and tried so hard to help her be a better person. He also took care of your 3 grandchildren (from 3 different fathers). You know what kind of person Terri was and yes you will always love her but if you are such a religious person maybe you should wait to see who really killed your daughter instead of hating someone so much for something they did not do. That same week Curt took you daughter to get her hair done ($150), bought her a car, bought your grandsons all their Christmas presents, and celebrated Christmas with them in the absence of all the Petit family. Where were all of you on Christmas Day???? I agree this has gone on way too long and neither family can get on with their lives but why not pull togher with Curt and help really solve who killed her, obviously the Guttenberg police dept. can't do it or they would have already....YOU JUST SIT AND WATCH,,,this case will fall apart because they don't have a case because they focused on the wrong man and now the BLACK truck that hit her is probably long gone along with the kid that admitted hitting something along they highway that night (oh by the way, the kid that bragged about it, drives a black truck) which 2 eye witnesses have pointed out. SO PLEASE GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT BEFORE HURTING MORE PPL.

ya he sure did take her to get her hair done only because he wanted her to look like TAMMY. same color same cut ya he even picked it out for her. her own son said" mom you look like TAMMY" see ask me i said he's right he has you looking like her. sure he treated like gold when people were looking {the public eye} but he was a control freak. ya see i've seen and know a hell of alot more than you do your's is second, third, hell probably fourth hand information i have eye witnessed alot of there relationship trouble the good and the bad. i don't recall saying curt was a bad person yes i have known him for 15 plus years. It's a terrible tragedy that tese 2 family's are suffering so much but WE ALL HAVE BEEN EFFECT by this and ya i can understand you wanting to believe in is innocence. what's done is done and there will be a judge and jury for him like me and he will have to face the truth. if the man your sister was with did this to her and you thought he was a good person it still won't change that FACT what happened you know my sister was also a good person and you say he didn't do this beleive me i wish the same i tell you what lets quit all of this hurting towards one another and let the judge/jury see the evidence and let them decide after all it's all in there hands know.

I am the stepmother of one of Terri's sons. I know my 2 cents doesn't matter but, I'm going to add it anyway. I would appreciate all of the negative postings about Terri to stop. She has 3 children who are old enough to search the internet and read these things. Haven't they been through enough? I understand wanting to protect people you care about (that's what I'm doing as well). If Curt were my friend or family member, I might find myself doing the same thing. However, that is no reason to drag Terri or anyone else in her family through to mud. And I disagree with you when you said Curt was the only chance of Terri's sons of becoming gentlemen. I am raising one of them (along with his father) and we have been long before Curt was ever in the picture. I am proud to say that he is an exceptional young man. I couldn't be prouder of him or love him anymore if I would have given birth to him myself! He is truely an outstanding person. From what I can see of his 2 brothers, they are as well. However, they have a lot to overcome. They had their Mother taken from them on CHRISTMAS DAY!! They will have to live with that for the rest of their lives. Don't you think that's enough heartache for them to deal with without reading horrible things about the Mother they still love?? Bottom line, Terri gave birth to 3 children - 3 amazing boys - and I'm asking you to respect them and let them hold only good memories of Terri close to their hearts. They deserve it.

[your one and only sister]

you r absolutley right these youngmen are who they are because of my sister and now who they become is in your hands and she couldn't have left my nephews in better care i thank you from the bottom of my heart that you are all there for them and that you protect them like that today is my birthday i sure wish i could get a call from her but i never will. curt has changed all of our lives forever most importanly those youngmen r forever effected. thank you

[Curious in Guttenberg]

I have heard that the murder trial of Curt Pierce will be held in October 2008. If so, will it be in Clayton County? Maybe some of the truth will come out; maybe not. My heart goes out to BOTH the Petit family and the Pierce family.

[Curious in Guttenberg]

Does anyone know when and where the trial is?
