     It has been nearly two months since the mysterious disappearance of Starbuck's I'ma Latte & Harrod's Regala Rugala. As the trial draws near, the public is getting impatient with the prosecutor's office and their lack of any credible suspects.
     Meanwhile, our correspondent's in the field are receiving tips daily on sightings of the pair from coast to coast.  One even has the duo driving a Red Miata Convertible.

     "while we were coming home from Dallas, a small red convertible whizzed past us. I couldn't be sure, but it seemed like there were ears flapping in the wind on the driver and passenger. Could it have been???" Barbara Cooke, Galveston Island, Texas

     "I was tending to my roses in the Church garden as I always do each third Wednesday of the seventh month of the holy period when flowers are most likely to be blooming when I saw it. It was definitely two furry heads visible just over the olive hedge. They moved swiftly as if they were late for confession! I ran to the east side of the rose garden but they were gone!
     I couldn't garden another minute, I had to call Geraldo, I knew he would listen!"  Sister Mary Joseph of Our Lady of the Holy Cross.

are trying to deal with. She seems a bit star struck at times and will call the News and report Celebrity sightings on the Church grounds just to get on TV and give an interview. We apologize for any inconvenience this has caused, or any delay in your investigation. She means well" Sister Joseph Mary-Helen-Mary of Our Lady of the Holy Cross

She is wanted for questioning by the Ashville, NC Police Dept. after witnesses say she was seen talking to a blenheim and tri-color Cavalier ouside the post office.



Geraldo Rivera

"Tonight on Geraldo Live, Sister Mary Joseph vividly describes the electrocuting shocking events as they unfolded in the rose garden of the blessed Church grounds that she tends with every fiber of her Holy being.  You don't want to miss this folks, never before in my career have I felt so much suspense, except of course for my made for TV special The Opening of Al Capone's Tomb"


Ted Koppel

"I can only say "incredible!" Ladies and Gentlemen, we may have for you tonight an interview with Sister Mary Joseph of Our Lady of the Holy Cross as she recounts the events of today that utterly changed her life. Get in front of your television and prepare yourself for a dramatic evening that may reveal the whereabouts of the pair that has come to be know as the Bonnie and Clyde of Cavaliers"

An anonymous postal worker turned in what appears to be an authentic, actual postcard sent to the home of Regal and Latte from the pair themselves.
     The judge will hear motions on whether to allow this postcard into evidence and drop charges against Sal Monelia or go forward with the trial.
     The postcard which has a postmark from Ashville, NC is dated October 26, 2001 leaving little doubt the duo are still alive.
     This ties in with sightings across the country and is the first piece of physical evidence in the case.
     Our Editors have obtained copies of the postcard in question from CNN and will let you decide? A handwriting expert has been consulted and we'll have an  assessment later this week. The postcard reads "Hi Mom! We're having a great time on our cross country trip. Don't worry about us - We've met plenty of good looking furfaces, but haven't given away our hearts. We'll be back in time for Christmas. Love, Rugala & Latte Woof Woof!


Sal Monelia

"I've been framed. The postcard is clear and convincing evidence of my innocence. I am just a friendly guy who was living with Karen, Stan and Lady Barto and just wanted a trip to Sunny California, I want a change of venue to Virginia. This could happen to anyone! I want to testify in my own defense and represent myself"
