Title: Re: How could...... Post by Mattrf on Feb 6th, 2007, 11:30am Astronaut Charged With Kidnap Attempt Associated Press Writer ORLANDO, Fla. -- An astronaut drove 900 miles and donned a disguise to confront a woman she believed was her rival for the affections of a space shuttle pilot, police said. She was arrested Monday and charged with attempted kidnapping and other counts. U.S. Navy Capt. Lisa Nowak, 43, who flew last July on a shuttle mission to the international space station, was also charged with attempted vehicle burglary with battery, destruction of evidence and battery. She was denied bail. Police said Nowak drove from her home in Houston to the Orlando International Airport to confront Colleen Shipman. Nowak believed Shipman was romantically involved with Navy Cmdr. William Oefelein, a pilot during space shuttle Discovery's trip to the space station last December, police said. Nowak told police that her relationship with Oefelein was "more than a working relationship but less than a romantic relationship," according to an arrest affidavit. Police officers recovered a love letter to Oefelein in her car. NASA spokesman James Hartsfield in Houston said that, as of Monday, Nowak's status with the astronaut corps remained unchanged. "What will happen beyond that, I will not speculate," he said. Hartsfield said he couldn't recall the last time an astronaut was arrested and said there were no rules against fraternizing among astronauts. When she found out that Shipman was flying to Orlando from Houston, Nowak decided to confront her, according to the arrest affidavit. Nowak raced from Houston to Orlando wearing diapers so she wouldn't have to stop to urinate, authorities said. Astronauts wear diapers during launch and re-entry. Dressed in a wig and a trench coat, Nowak boarded an airport bus that Shipman took to her car in an airport parking lot. Shipman told police she noticed someone following her, hurried inside the car and locked the doors, according to the arrest affidavit. Nowak rapped on the window, tried to open the car door and asked for a ride. Shipman refused but rolled down the car window a few inches when Nowak started crying. Nowak then sprayed a chemical into Shipman's car, the affidavit said. Shipman drove to the parking lot booth, and the police were called. During a check of the parking lot, an officer followed Nowak and watched her throw away a bag containing the wig and BB gun. They also found a steel mallet, a 4-inch folding knife, rubber tubing, $600 and garbage bags inside a bag Nowak was carrying when she was arrested, authorities said. Inside Nowak's vehicle, which was parked at a nearby motel, authorities uncovered a pepper spray package, an unused BB-gun cartridge, latex gloves and e-mails between Shipman and Oefelein. They also found a letter "that indicated how much Mrs. Nowak loved Mr. Oefelein," an opened package for a buck knife, Shipman's home address and hand written directions to the address, the arrest affidavit said. Police said Nowak told them that she only wanted to scare Shipman into talking to her about her relationship with Oefelein and didn't want to harm her physically. "If you were just going to talk to someone, I don't know that you would need a wig, a trench coat, an air cartridge BB gun and pepper spray," said Sgt. Barbara Jones, a spokeswoman for the Orlando Police Department. "It's just really a very sad case. ... Now she ends up finding herself on the other side of the law with some very serious charges." If convicted of attempted kidnapping, Nowak could face a maximum of life in prison. It was not immediately known whether Nowak had an attorney. Oefelein and Shipman did not immediately return phone messages Monday night. According to NASA's official biography, Nowak is married with three children. During her 13-day mission in July she operated the robotic arm during three spacewalks. Oefelein is unmarried. He piloted the space shuttle Discovery in December. He has two children, according to a NASA biography. Nowak and Oefelein were both first-time fliers during their shuttle missions last year. They trained together but never flew together. |

Post by seasonalboomer on Feb 6th, 2007, 11:39am Don't you think that dude is going to have nightmares that go something like this: He's on the shuttle with her and she is in charge of re-entry, and just at that moment where she is supposed to hit the button for re-entry she says, "all that stands between you and me and life together in eternity is me not pushing this button........." as she smiles that friggin' loony smile and says..." don't you love me baby?" |

Title: Re: How could...... Post by drivin_blind on Feb 6th, 2007, 2:05pm Emotions. Wow. I didn't catch before that she was a captain. For those of you that don't know military ranks, she would be the same rank as a full bird colonel in the Army, Air Force, or Marines. Next rank is Admiral/General. It just amazes me how peoples emotions can cloud their judgment. Never had the problem of TWO women fighting for my attention. Of course this one has taken over 30 years to break-in and I just don't have the energy anymore. Now when I was 18, well never mind! |

Title: Re: How could...... Post by vig on Feb 6th, 2007, 2:36pm "Nowak, a married mother of three and mission specialist on the space shuttle Discovery flight last summer, wore diapers so she did not have to stop for bathroom breaks during the 11-hour drive from Houston. In Florida, she donned a wig and trench coat as a disguise while she waited for Shipman to arrive" there is SOOOOOOO muCH wrong in that paragraph above.... The picture of her is even scarier. 11 hours is a LOT of time to reconsider and stop. (stewing in her own pee.) :-/ |
