In the News We at OSNews have tiptoed around the following unfolding story for a while now, scared we would wrongly damage Hans Reiser's image. However, now that he has been arrested as a suspect in this case, we cannot ignore it any longer. "Oakland police today arrested the estranged husband of 31-year-old Nina 'Nenasha' Reiser on charges of murder even though in the month since she vanished, investigators have found no trace of her body. Hans Reiser, a man who has recently refused to cooperate with investigators, was arrested today along with two additional unidentified people around 11 a.m. at an acquaintance's home in the 6900 block of Simson Street, according to police."

I hope he's innocent

If Reiser's divorce preceedings are to be believed, Nina was involved with a very strange and disturbing individual who broke up their marriage and made all sorts of strange demands on both parties.

Hans seems like the type to erupt into fits of rage at times, and I don't doubt that he can be a hard person to live with, judging by correspondence on various mailing lists. However, that does not mean he is capable of killing a person.

On the other hand, I have to admit that I harbour a concern that he may have killed Nina myself. After all, she and her new man were doing all in their power to make Hans' life hell. I hope for his sake that he did not let his anger take control.
