How Do You Spell That?

Damn. That is sad.

I read stuff like this and it makes me wonder how we, as a society, actually manage to get anything done. It seems everyone is always dragging their feet or not making decisions or making BAD decisions.

Why did the mother have custody in the first place? She obviously was not of sound mind.

It's because she was the mom, and mom's almost always get custody since they are the ones that squirt them out in the first place. My wife works in the system, and it takes a long time to pull a kid out of a home. Because we have a judicial system that believes people can change, we have to go through and give them many chances to redeem themselves. I don't have a problem with it, but it's always sad when a case like this happens and looking back, you can see the warning signs.

Yes, I know that the mother always gets custody, but that is obviously not a sound policy.

I am Brieana's Dad. We were ON TRACK TO GET CUSTODY IN ANOTH

Oh. My. God. That is the most despicable thing I can imagine. The power of Hate continues to amaze me.

Just so you know... I bet all of your thoughts on this whole thing are wrong... I have known Judi for over ten years and my mom was the "family friend" who found little Breezy! None of you know the story and the situation so please dont make assumptions about anything... you would be upset if something like this was going on in your life and everyone had it wrong.

Hate to say this Someone, but she murdered her own child. I don't know how someone could spin it that way? So she didn't want dad to have her. Guess what, I'd rather have her alive and with her dad than dead with no one. I can't imagine the fear and horror that went through her as her own mother drowned her.

Honestly, I'd love to hear her excuse for this...but I'm sure I got the story right.

I am Brieana grandmother, my son was her father. I would like her "friend" to explain to me how she or anyone else can put a positive spin on Judi's actions. A baby died a horrible death at the hands of someone she trusted. Judi often said she wished she had given Breezy away when she was born. She hated Brad and apparently she hated Brieana even more so she took her own daughters life just so her father couldn't have her. He didn't have custody because they weren't married and the court system in Indiana is so messed up he had to fight for almost a year just to see the baby.

I would like to ask "her friends" how she can defend Judi after seeing Breezy's decomposed body laying in that apartment. My granddaughter was a beautiful child and somebody close to that family maybe even you should have noticed something was wrong. I live in another state and tryed to get the welfare system to check on my baby.

Carol, thanks for responding to this issue. I don't know why "friend" can even think there's a justification or reason behind this horrible tragedy other than absolute hatred.

While I've been through custody/visitation battles of my own, it nothing compared to what happened here. What failed was a system who give moms all the rights and look at dads as nothing more than a check in the mail. My wife is a CASA and she is heartbroken over this case. I wish I could say more on it...

Hey "Someone", I'd love to hear Judi's side of this. I'm sure she'll plead "not guilty by insanity" instead of doing the honorable thing and pleading out so the families can move on. What's your take on this?

My name is Jennifer and I am cousins with Brad's wife Tami.I was not lucky enough to meet Brieana but I do know my cousin and what a WONDREFUL father Brad was to Brieana.Brad and Tami tried to get the DCFS department to listen to their complaints and it fell on deaf ears.They loved that little girl, and if you just look at any picture of Brad with his daughter you could see that love in their eyes. I am a mother of 5 children and I cannot begin to imagine what Judi was thinking when she took such a beautiful child from everyone that loved her. Yes, Carol is right, she did NOT want Brad and Tami to have her,and she made sure of that--with her daughters life.If Judi is to claim insanity, then I pray that someone steps in and say's that she was not "insane" when she went to court to fight for her daughters remains as she did not want Brad to have anything to do with the buriel of his daughter? I think it is sad that Brad had to fight for all that he had left of his daughter,Judi took her life and Brad wanted to bury her close to his family,and the laws in Indiana made this man "fight" for his daughters remains, had he not been through enough already by loosing his daughter?Brieana had an extended family within Tami's family and we all loved her even though we did not know her.Our hearts ache for the hurt this has caused Brad,Tami,Tommy,Tobi, the grandparents on both sides of the family.This was a little girl full of life,and her mother chose to take it away and in my opinion Judi Noe has no rights left in this world.God gives us children to love and protect and she did the most unthinkable thing any women could do.If Judi had such close friends and we all should not judge then why did not one of those friends notice that Brieana was missing for those days? Can anyone close to Judi explain how she could have left her child in her own home,knowing what she did to that baby? There is NOT one good reason anyone can give for taking another persons life--espically a beautiful baby. I pray that the courts make sure that justice is served and that Judi is to pay for what she did,and I will not apologize for any harse feelings I have, a child is in heaven at the hands of her mother,and the family is left to ask why? Please keep this wonderful family in your prayers,as Brieana was truly a special little girl!

i feel what this person has done she should be punished to the fullest extent of the law she doesnt deserve to live she deserves to be burned like her child how can anyone be so cruel to a child it makes me sick that someone could hurt a child in this way there are so many things she could have done this child deserved to be with people that loved her not left with this crazy women that was so spiteful that she didnt care about this child i hope that whom ever is reading this realizes this women is a walking killer and deserves to be put out of her missery she isnt fit to breath as far as i am concerned that little girl wasnt given the chance for a loving home with a father and step mom who i am sure would have been wonderful to her and loved her. please help this family be able to move on and know that this woman is gone from their lifes make sure she is never let out to hurt the other children that she has please keep them safe from her she is a horrible person and it is sad to say that about someone i have never met but doing what she has done is just wrong.

Hi, I am Brieana's dad. I just want to thank everybody for all the support and prayers for my family. It comforts me very much to know so many people care. Please know that Brieana is in a better place, and I will get to hold her again, eventually. Thank you.

Brad and family Please know how many people feels so badly for your family. How sad that a mother could do this. I'm a friend of your Aunt Marleen and Leo. I keep them updated if anything comes out in the paper. I feel so bad for your family. I pray for your family and know God loves you. I did meet your mother while she atted your cousin Steve's wedding.

Does anyone know if Judy actually made it out on bail? I'm hoping no one came forward but there are plenty of sick people in this world who would like nothing more than to give a confessed child-killer a second chance.

At this time Judi still remains in jail.

I am Brieana's grandmother from Michigan, we heard this morning that Judi had been released on bail. If anyone out there knows where she went to live my family would really appreciate the information. The state once again failed us, they were supposed to let us know ahead of time if she was being released but nobody call my son until someone heard it on the radio. Please help if you can, we need the citizens of Ft Wayne to keep a close eye on her so she doesn't harm anyone else

Thank You

AT 4:00 P.M. TODAY, I CALLED THE ALLEN COUNTY JAIL AND WAS TOLD SHE HAS NOT BEEN RELEASED. SHE IS STILL AN INMATE THERE.

Carol, who did you hear from that she was released? I'm definitely hoping she is not released and will remain until the end of her sentence is served.

Brad had received a call from some one in Ft Wayne that they had heard it on the news on their way to work.

I Judi Noe when we was younger and she didn't seem to be all there in the mind then!! I have been reading all the papers on the internet about this case and I'm deeply sorry for the family's loss, You know I don't understand why welfare didn't step in and help this baby I know they have to go through steps to give a person a chance to change .BUT WHY DIDN'T THEY FIND A TEMP PLACEMENT FOR THIS BABY? If people are calling and letting you know there is something wrong? This should of raised RED flags to the welfare!!! But what don't make any since is when something is going wrong they do nothing and when there is nothing wrong when they get calls they are all the time at your door , I know alot of people this has happen too ! If they would of done this in this case she would still be alive !!Can someone PLEASE explain this to me ? This is a so sad this baby had to go through this some one she trusted and loved could hurt her ! This makes me want to cry thinking about this. What is going to happen with her other kids if she gets out ?? You know I have 2 kids and I couldn't ever think of doing anything to hurt them they are a gift from god I don't know what is going on with poeple these days hurting there kids!!! Instead of hurting kids if they don't want them give them to the other parent or to a family who can't have there own children They never asked to be born into this world

Let me correct something she was ok in the mind just a differnt kind of person thought she was so much better then everyone elce was.

CAROL, IT WAS STATED ON TONIGHTS NEWS THAT JUDI DOES HAVE ANOTHER HEARING TOMORROW.

First off, yes Judi is still in the Allen County Jail. They, her family, must provide a place for her to live in Allen county, but not at her mothers house with the other two children. We believe they cant find anyone to take her. And in case anyone reading this is considering taking in this baby killer, I promise to have T.V. news trucks parked outside your door 3 minutes after Judi arrives. Please dont give this murderer one more minute of freedom. Protect your own children and your name by saying no. Once again, to all the good people of Ft. Wayne, thank you for your support and prayers. With your help we will get through this and eventually push for tougher laws and people to protect our children.

Sounds like some of the people in Fort Wayne have a good amount of common sense. I'm just hoping we get this trial moving quickly and be done with it. I don't know if the State has launched an investigation into their mistakes on this tragedy, but I would love to hear what their final report is.

The Case took a plea deal, She only got 5 years for the murder. What a crock!!! =(

You wanted someone from Judi's side to post. But You will not allow me to give Our side of the story. Your wife is CASA is she . Yes, another Government agency that FAILED my family.
Well Perhaps that is why You wont allow my voice to be heard.

Do I sound Angry? You bet I am.

Tami
Judi's sister

Tami, if I didn't want your voice to be heard, you would have been deleted.

Your sister commited murder. Pure and simple. She might have some problems, but in the end she would have rather put her daughter in a grave than to give her to her father. It was her choice. I don't buy the "I'm drugged up, I'm confused, She's my whole life thing" because its a lame excuse. She got mad, killed Brieana, and now feels guilty for it.

Be glad she only got five years, that was a complete piece of crap of a sentence.

Oh I see you posted the message I sent but not the story or the truth .. so in fact I WAS DELETED!!!! and FYI MY SISTER was NOT nor has she ever been on DRugs .. Why dont you ask BRAD MAY if he has been? this is your site and you can pick and choose what you want seen here and by you not posting my FIRST letter you have proved to me You are no better than the rest that are just looking for the sensationalism. You want to be FAIR . .POST the FIRST letter I wrote !

Just as I thought. You dont want to hear the truth You want to sensationalise it...

#1. You are responding to a post of a story that is almost 18 months old. If your previous post got whacked when I was cleaning out the spam on this site, I apologize. I do not intentionally delete valid comments from my website.

#2. Your sister has not provided anything related to an excuse, a reason, or even a pang on guilt for what she has done. While I realize a good chunk of that is from her attorney telling her to shut up, I have yet to hear a good excuse for ANYONE killing a child, let alone their own flesh and blood.

I will GLADLY put your verison of the story, 100% verbatim (unless you go crazy with swear words, then I might edit it) as a brand new post on my website. I would love to hear your side of the story.

I'm not looking to sensationalize this story, but it's really difficult to find any sort of logic in drowning your own child.

There is only one side to this story, Brian. Judi murdered Breezy on Fathers Day, on purpose, because I didn't heed her warnings! She told me that Brieana would never leave Indiana with me, and when we got close, she killed her. At that point I had already warned anyone who could help, but noone listened. Judi is being released on April 10th! to the Allen Co. comnmunity release program where she will be free to work and play and kill again in Ft. Wayne. The D.O.C. had already decided in their infinite wisdom to release her on parole on 7-05-06, only 24 months for murdering my baby. That wasn't long enough for Judge Surbeck, who petitioned the D.O.C. to release Judi on April 10th. He filed this request on 2-23-06, and I think I deserve to know why! What are the people of Ft. Wayne going to do to protect their children?

Holy Jesus Brad, I did not know this. WTF....

Brian, Carol is lieing about Judi, Brad is also. We are not tring to make excusses for Judi . But there are facts of the case you are ignoring. She was diagnosed with a mental illness by three Doctors. Until you are empacked with this terrible illness you don't know what you are talking about, oh yes except hate!, on your part.

You have to be sh*tting me Marsha, right? Have you read anything on my blog? I have five children plus two foster children who have various psychoses. My kids are a walking DSM-IV manual...don't even get me started on my son.

I have some sympathy for people who suffer from mental illness. Some. That sympathy ends when the loved ones around them do crap about it and let bad things happen. If my bi-polar best friend had been acting squirrely around their kid, I would do anything to keep them safe instead of standing by while this happened.

Yeah, I know you don't like what I just wrote because it puts some of the responsibility on you, Judi's friends, who stood by her against Brad while she made sure Brad would never leave with Breiana. But hindsight is 20/20, so that's just how it is.

You can support Judi all you want, but there is NO defense for what she did. Period.

Wow, today is the first time i have had the opportunity to read the thoughts of people who have no idea who May is and the things he has hidden in his closet. No one in my family has given you people any comments because you choose to hear what you want. But I think I will share some facts with your fans May. I wonder if all these folks would be rallying with your hatred if they knew you were under investigation for "alegedly" molesting my neice, and you violated a protection order umpteen times, but allways seemed to "get away" before the police could get you, I guess thats where your criminal past became an asset. What I dont understand May, is that you and your partner, lets call him "john", were constantly stalking and harrasing her (Judi), trying your hardest to push her over the edge, If, like you have claimed, you were so concerned for Bri, why in the world would you subject her to the danger you imposed? Lets back up a little, at one point May you used the older children through munipulation, you even expressed to them that "you loved them", then you took there sister out of state to rest with strangers! You put a huge wedge between those children, making it extremely hard for them to visit theyre baby sister, did you do this out of "love" also? Lets bring into the open the fund you set up for funeral costs, it wasnt until i had wrote to several people in Ft. wayne that the funeral was already pd. for that you "made the decission" to donate the monies recieved. I have plenty more to "bring out into the open", but let us see if this gets to be heard first...

OK, let's put this to rest right now.

#1. After Marsha's comments about Brad, I did some research. Brad May does not appear on ANY sexual offender database (that includes Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, etc). If you don't have any proof (geniune proof, not just 'well, I think he did something funny'), then it's time to shut your yap since you have no proof that a crime was committed. I as a foster parents have been accused (by the original crack-smoking parents (yes, they did smoke crack)) of absuing my son. A report was filed and after a 20 minute investigation, it was closed. I find accounts of abuse after the fact to be more wishful thinking on your side. Provide some sort of proof and I'll be glad to post it.

#2. I have NEVER met Brad May, my only conversations with him have been on this board for everyone to see. So by reading the comments on this board, you now see the scope of our relationship (in which case, I'm now technically "closer" to your side of the story than his).

#3. This one main point keeps being overlooked by everyone on Judi's side:

SHE MURDERED HER OWN DAUGHTER!

I keep hearing a large number of excuses for her behavior, and a large amount of grief for what happened. I cannot understand your loss, and I hope never to experience it. But Judi got off light. Seriously light.

I understand mental illness, as I have said before it is a horrible disease that affects millions. However, there are aspects of behavior that are NOT driven by mental illness. Stealing, lying, and causing harm to others can occur because the rational portion of the brain is numbed by the illness. However in the end, the behavior is a choice. It might be an easier choice since she's Bi-Polar, but it is still a choice.

To Brian, you can search for May's name all you want on a sexual offenders list, the only issue with that is he wasn't "convicted", it is unfortunate that piece of the "puzzle" probably will never be uncovered. I do want to clerify that I make no excuses for my sister, a tragic thing has happened, which can't be undone, we who loved and knew her, and were a part of her daily life grieve daily. I am just so fustrated that May has flooded so many lies and hate that people are rallying around him like he was such a great father, "not true", it baffles me that if a person has so much "good" in him, how can that person inflict so much mental abuse to one that has had a great tragedy in her past, which he was aware of and used it as a weapon to break her down. and the mental abuse he afflicted on the two siblings is just appauling. If your readers are so concerned about the ones who suffered the most, the should be asking why May was so insistant to have Bri moved many many miles away from her siblings and grandparents who were a part of her everyday life? Where she rests now is among strangers, where she is visited seldom, May isn't even close enough to visit on a regular basis. To me that was just HATEFUL, to the surviving siblings.

I know this is an "old" topic, but I used to work at the apartment complex that the family lived at and I remember Bri coming into the office with her mom, she always seemed to be smiling. At the time of her murder I no longer worked there, but it still broke my heart to think that this little sweet child would not get to make her mark on the world, what asweet little mark that would have been. I followed the case closely and when I heard she was being relased my heart broke all over again for Bri family. With two children of my own I just can not imagine hurting one hair on their head. So my belief that is she should have done alot more time but also for those of us who think the justice system let this little girl down keep in mind, Judi has to live with this and I think that it would be hard to live with knowing you purposly took the life of your own child to be selfish and punish and grown man. I don't know Brad May, but it seems he was a good dad and I have a hard time beliving that Bri would not have been better off there. Also karma will come back around and we all get what we give and put out there. Thank you for the chance to send my thoughts and prayers to this family.

For anyone who hasn't seen the news out of Ft Wayne over the last week Judi Noe is back in jail. She didn't get as much time as she should have since Judge Surbeck thinks he can FIX her. Guess he's afraid to put her back with DOC it might mess up his programs sucess rate. I pray that everyone involved with this mess judge, her family and the court system hurrys up and figures out this women needs to be put in a mental institute for life. Anyone watching the news video has to be able to see how crazy she is and unpredictable. I know some people feel we should be concentrating on remembering Brieana and stop damming Judi, I for one will never forget Brieana but I know in my heart that until Judi is correctly punished by the lower courts or the higher court (god) my family will continue to be afraid of this monster.

She violated her parole? Not surprising....
