A very well written article, and blog entry - till I get to one line, then I'm LIVID

Click HERE to see a photo of Beatrice McDougall, courtesy of Beth Guay. ....

so naturally, I click the link.

It's a great picture, but it's the line underneath that has me seeing RED

"To purchase photos please visit our online photo store at http://dailygazette.mycapture.com"


The Gazette is actually going to PROFIT from selling pictures of this dead woman??

I'm INCENSED - and hoping to God I hear that tomorrow this line has been removed, or that "all proceeds are going to the family" for the sale of this picture.

I noticed that they do that with all of their pic's. It's like they are making money over and over again on the same pictures.

Quoted Text
ROTTERDAM
Man charged with killing local woman expires in prison
Serial killer was sentenced to die

    Daniel Lee Siebert, who confessed to murdering Rotterdam resident Beatrice McDougall in 1986, died in an Alabama prison Tuesday afternoon.
    The 53-year-old serial killer, who was never tried for the murder, died at W.C. Holman Correctional Facility in Atmore, Ala. Officials said the cause was complications from pancreatic cancer.
    Siebert, convicted of five murders in Alabama, was supposed to be executed last Oct. 24 and end 21 years on death row. He was granted a stay of execution by a Circuit Court of Appeals in Atlanta, pending the outcome of a Kentucky case regarding lethal injection then before the U.S. Supreme Court.
    Beth Guay of Rotterdam Junction, McDougall’s daughter, said Friday she was disappointed in the way Siebert’s stay in prison finally ended.
    “I don’t feel justice was served,” she said. “I think the system took way too long. I think 22 years was too long.”
    McDougall, then 57, was working part time as a guide for Wade Tours of Rotterdam when she was murdered March 8, 1986. She was watching television alone in the hospitality suite at Caesar’s Casino in Atlantic City, N.J., at the time.
    The following September, authorities arrested then 32-yearold Siebert in Tennessee. He was charged with five murders in Alabama and told police he had killed several others. Siebert eventually was charged with McDougall’s murder, but never tried.
    Guay believes delays and stays in Siebert’s case never should have occurred.
    “The other families and I talked,” she said, mentioning conversations with relatives of other Siebert victims. “Here he was tried and convicted in 1987, he confessed to fi ve of the murders, what was he appealing?”
    Guay also said it’s not enough to know Siebert is dead.
    “I don’t think I’ve gotten to that point yet,” she said. “I find it more frustrating right now, to the point where I feel like he did really get the last say.”
    For Guay and her family, time has not healed any wounds.
    “They say to begin to heal you need to voice your thoughts and feelings,” Guay said in a statement for her family. “But sadly, no matter what I say or think, my mom is still no longer here, as it should be. The plans, the promises for our lives together as a family, have been lost. Our life as we’ve known it has changed forever, been taken away from us and lost forever. Instead, we are left with a sense of emptiness and such despair.”
    Guay was in Alabama last October for Siebert’s scheduled death.
    “I basically wanted my face to be the last face he saw,” she said. “Not that he would have known who I was.”
