Carole Anne Meehan's note to her fans

Sad news today. Carole Anne's husband was found dead today.

This note was just posted on CTV Ottawa from anchor Carole Anne Meehan whose husband, Greg Etue, disappeared eight days ago. Let's all pray for his return.


I am compelled to give everyone an update on my husband Greg’s disappearance. Those are incredibly hard words to write – this is a nightmare that is now into its 8th day. Ottawa Police continue to work hard to find Greg’s Pontiac Montana Van. He had a full tank of gas on the day he went missing, Monday, Jan. 16th. He was last seen on Robertson Road that afternoon. The van has a Thule ski box on top.
I ask anyone with information to please call police.
We need Greg home. We miss him terribly and our children are lost and confused.


I want to thank everyone who knows our family for their discretion in dealing with this subject. Our kids have not been approached with awkward questions…to them Dad, is just lost and will make his way home.
I pray this mystery will be solved soon. And life as we knew it can resume.
There have been so many times I have said on the news that “life can change in a flash.” Never in my wildest dreams could I have imagined I would live that out.
Hug the ones you love, tell them you love them, no matter what. Time is precious – as I well know, now.
Thank you for your kind thought and prayers…the outpouring of support we are receiving has touched me deeply.

Carole Anne

    No amount of modern medicine can take you out of the dark dark world created by serious illness.
    I live it everyday and only stay for my children hope Carole Anne can find some peace

What Bell isn't telling you about Fibe TV

Update: This week, we switched back to Rogers after spending far too long using Bell's crappy television service. For those with Bell, read and weep. For those considering Bell, think twice even if you hate Rogers. RS I've always been an early technology adapter. I had a Betamax. That tells you everything (if you're over 50 at least). My first computer was a "Portable". It weighed 40 pounds and I had to lug it around town on a gurney. I've been through probably 15 computers in my lifetime. Apple is the best. It's also too expensive so I have a piece of shit HP, the one I'm writing this blog on. I've had cable, internet and now Netflix. American Netflix . That's how far ahead of the curve I am. I get all the newspapers for free. How? I disabled my cookies so they can't track me when I'm on the newspaper sites. Even the New York Times hasn't cottoned on to that trick. Hahaha. That will be a fifty buck consulting fee. Bein...

Ashley Simpson: Please sign this petition to help her family

Those who read this space regularly know that my family is frantic with worry about my cousin, Ashley Simpson , who has been missing 40 days now. Both her boyfriend and her landlord reported that she had left with no money, no car, no resources from her Salmon Arm, B.C. home after a domestic dispute over money. Since then, there has been no trace of her. The RCMP now considers this a homicide investigation, but the family has not heard any updates from them in more than three weeks. Just after she disappeared, her father, relatives and friends set out from St. Catharines on a long trek to B.C. to find her. They all left their work, and their lives, intent on finding Ashley who had always kept in touch. It was completely out of character for her to lose touch. Her parents have been consumed by worry. They have been unable to work, and are having a hard time functioning. As a result, they are now relying on donations from family and friends to keep the wolf from the door...

The strange case of Greg Etue

I got out of the daily news reporting game, I'll admit, because I didn't have the stomach to cover the many sad stories that came across my desk. I remember clearly once when I had to call an RCMP sergeant after his young son blew his head off with the officer's service revolver. "Please," he pleaded. "I really can't talk right now." "It was your gun, is that correct?" He slammed down the receiver. I was ashamed of myself. People have a right to some privacy in difficult times like that. I also used to hate having to go to the door of a dead child's home and jostle the competition for a picture. Really, it felt more like ghoulism than journalism. That said, I still believe that these stories must be told in an honest and forthright fashion with all the facts and none of the flourish and emotion that is all the rage in reporting these days. Over the past two years, we, in this community, have been treated to a lot o...
