A devoted psychotherapist finds herself facing a meat cleaver wielding madman on Manhattan’s upper east side. Her colleague hearing her screams comes to her rescue and is critically wounded…the psychotherapist Kathryn Faughey…bludgeoned to death so brutally, two of nine knives the killer brought with him including the meat cleaver are bent. The killer is caught on surveillance cameras casually entering and exiting the building carrying two bags - containing women’s clothing cops say, the knives and adult diapers.

Thomas Ruskin is a former NYPD Detective and he joined me today at the crime scene. He’s currently a security expert here in Manhattan. Especially helpful to me - he lives across the street from where this tale of terror took place. It is a crime scene he describes as about as gruesome as it gets. Both victims put up a brave and extensive fight he is told by NYPD investigators. A man initially called a suspect is questioned in Pennsylvania Thursday then released. Below I’ve posted a sketch based on the horrifying witness account of a patient who happened to be in the office at the time of the attack and the doctor who tried to save Kathryn Faughey’s life.

Anyone with information should contact crimestoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS.

But here is my question for you:

Investigators wanted to check patient records in this case but were told because of privacy concerns (and strict new laws on patient privacy) they could not. Would you give up your privacy to help cops crack such a brutal crime?

Leave your comments here.

Artist’s sketch provided by the NYPD shows a man suspected of hacking psychologist Kathryn Faughey to death with a meat cleaver.

Are you watching the Congressional hearings on the alleged steroid use by Roger Clemens? Roger Clemens ended his opening statement in an emphatic way…insisting that he has never used human growth hormone or steroids. Never.

Brian McNamee continuing to insist he is not lying and that he did inject Roger Clemens. In fact he states today that now that he has had a chance to think about it, he injected Roger Clemens more times than he previously testified to.

So with both Clemens and McNamee insisting their positions are correct….

Who do you believe is telling the truth about whether Roger juiced up?

More than one thousand of you have commented on my post about the Berekely City Council’s request that the Marine Recruiters there hit the road. If you haven’t seen it, click here.

Berkeley’s Mayor has even offered to help the Marines get out of their recruiting office lease early. Senator Jim DeMint, who doesn’t even represent California took swift action…proposing legislation that would strip Berkeley of some of its federal funding after the Berkeley City Council passed a formal resolution that if the Marines choose to stay they are doing so as “unwelcome intruders“.

You have overwhelming supported the actions of Senator DeMint and hundreds of you cared enough to write Mayor Tom Bates and the City Council members who voted in favor of that resolution ordering the Marines to go. Now I’ve learned you can take your support a step further.

Joe Wierzbicki of MoveAmericaForward.org, tells me they will rally at the Marine recruiting office in Berkeley Tuesday.

This photo of Mayor Bates with a Code Pink hat is courtesy of Joe Wierzbicki and MoveForwardAmerica.org.

Clearly, the Code Pink protestors -who now have a designated parking space in front of that military office thanks to those who “run” Berkeley- will be in attendance and I will post any photos I get so you can monitor the turnout. But if you are near Berkeley and want to show your support, go to MoveAmericaForward.org for the details of the rally and how you can support our troops!

My co-anchor Eric Shawn taught me a new phrase. Obamicans. These are Republicans who do not see what they want in either the GOP frontrunner for the nomination- John McCain-or the evangelical christian favorite Mike Huckabee and are throwing their support for Barack Obama.

On our You Decide 2008 coverage this morning, I interviewed Susan Eisenhower granddaughter to President Dwight D. Eisenhower about her support for the Democratic candidate. She is, she insists, a Republican who has no intention of leaving the GOP party. So why is she “crossing over” the aisle to become an “Obamican”?

Eisenhower believes we are obligated to leave this country better than we found it. She told me Barack Obama is the only candidate that has and will reach - she believes -across the aisle and bring bi-partisan support to the issues that matter most.

I asked her about the importance of military experience in the White House, something her grandfather President Eisenhower surely tapped into with all the international affairs he had to tackle while in office! She says her grandfather would respect her choice and had similar priorities in choosing a candidate…dismissing Obama’s lack of direct military expertise.

And she insists her decision to support Barack Obama is NOT a move against Hillary Clinton but a move toward what she believes this country needs.

I’m not re-stating what she said on the show to take a position but I did want to raise the potential for other “Obamicans” and ask you:

How many Republicans to you think will cross parties in a general election and why? Which issue facing Americans would most lead the right to go left?

Have you seen the hidden camera footage of Joran van der Sloot bragging about what happened to Natalee Holloway the night she disappeared? A sting operation in Holland yielded hours of tape of Joran and exposed in Joran’s own words what happened the night Joran met Natalee, took her to a beach and as Joran says, dumped her in the ocean. On the tape Joran even admits he can’t be sure if Natalee was dead when she was thrown in the deep waters off Aruba. In fact he says she may have still been alive.

This may or may not bring some closure to Natalee’s family. Her mother Beth has said that she now knows Natalee is not going to come home. Like most of us, she was holding on to that slight shred of hope. I found the tapes so disturbing…Joran so cold and cowardess. How could he not call an ambulance?

Now that this new evidence is available, do you think Joran should be charged? If the Aruban authorities do not proceed, do you think U.S. authorities should?

How can we guarantee the safety of U.S. citizens when they travel abroad if our government can not pursue justice on their behalf?

With Governor Mitt Romney and America’s Mayor Rudy Guiliani out of the GOP race for the nomination, will John McCain satisfy conservatives and nail the nomination? Will Governor Mike Huckabee, insisting on Super Tuesday he’s remaining in it to win it, move forward in the upcoming primaries and caucuses?

Presidential politics has never been “cheap” - it costs big bucks to run a successful campaign. For both the Democrats and Republicans, this year’s race is perhaps the most expensive we’ve ever seen. That was something Governor Romney had in his favor…the ability to fund to a greater extent than the other candidates his own campaign.

Who do you think Mitt Romney will endorse? Predictions?

Stay tuned to Fox for the very latest on the campaign trail and for what Senator McCain will say at CPAC. Our coverage continues all day and through prime time. I’ll see you when I fill in for Martha MacCallum on the Live Desk Friday at 1pm eastern and this weekend as we cover what’s ahead for all the candidates…not to mention voters out there wondering who will be left by the time we cast our ballots.

Have a great day!

UPDATE: HERE’S BRET AND ME ON SET LAST NIGHT

What is so interesting about covering election returns is how fast and furious it can be! California surprised us…allowing for an early projection though…and then there was the wicked weather in the southern state we needed to cover as well.

Bret is a great anchor and a really super guy. It’s hard to get the chance to spend time with our DC folks since like us they are always on the move. During the commercials I was able to learn more about what Bret is up to, how his beautiful wife and baby boy are doing and what it was like to spend all that time with the President for his Fox Special (if you haven’t seen it look for it to re-air soon).

This weekend we will both be covering more caucuses and primaries - keep it on Fox for the latest on the race for the White House!

————————————————————————————-

I have been here at our Super Tuesday World Headquarters for a few hours now and I’ll be sticking around till Bret Baier and I finish our show at 5am eastern. In the “Greenroom”, I’ve been chatting with the newest member of the Fox family, Karl Rove about how the evening is going for each of the candidates and who might be most on edge. I can’t steal his thunder so definitely listen to what he has to say on our air.

If you are following our coverage - and I can tell you Fox is the place to be - you can get a behind the scenes look at how these races are being “called” and how many people it takes at our Election Desk to get all the information tabulated and to Brit Hume and our esteemed panel by going to foxnews.com .

So bring on the coffee…and the crew here promises me it’s the strongest in town…and join us as this incredible evening unfolds!

Join Bret and me from 3-5am eastern and please post your comments and predictions - I’d like to read some during our show!

While some polling stations will close as early as 12:30 pm today (West Virginia’s Republican-only caucus), California voters can select their candidate until 11pm pacific time. That means this race will be one of the most exciting (history making in terms of the number of primaries today) and perhaps toughest to call. California has the most delegates to offer and winning there could - very late in the day - turn an already very close race.

There are a number of articles today - the Wall Street Journal among them - that explains how differently the Democrats and Republicans allocate delegates in different states and then there are those states on the Republican side that offer “winner take all” races. Candidates today are voting in their homestates and making whatever last ditch efforts they can to visit other states the polls suggest they should.

I’ll be following it all (confession: politics junkie) and co-hosting with Bret Baier two hours of our “You Decide 2008″ coverage on Fox News Channel from 3-5 am eastern (just after those all important California polls close)…

…so tell me this…

1. till what time will you be tracking the results of the 24 primaries being held today and

2. what are your predictions for the Republicans and Democrats tonight?

I know it’s post Super Bowl - and what a game it was! But if you are like most of us, you might have indulged a little more than usual last night. After all, who can resist nachos during a nail biter football game?

Not to rain on the parade (and yes we are expecting a big one tomorrow when the Giants return home), but did you hear about what Mississippi has planned for residents who indulge all the time? Their intent is honorable. Mississippi has a very high rate of cardiovascular disease. But putting restaurants in charge of what we choose to eat?

A new bill introduced in Mississippi - HB 282 - would do just that. It makes it ILLEGAL to serve fat folks. Any restaurant that serves a person with what is considered a high “BMI” index, will lose their health department license. When I reported on this story this weekend, I was surprised frankly to learn that 30% of American adults are obese. This is a frightening number. We can all do more to whittle our waistlines but putting the kid behind the counter in charge? It’s okay for me to call them kids - I was a burger king girl way back when!

“Weigh in” here. Is this an outrage or on the money?

I hope you caught my interview with Ying Lee, a former Berkeley city council member and supporter of Code Pink protest efforts in front of the Marine recruiting office in Berkeley on our “You Decide 2008″ show today. I just wrapped that interview and I am stunned that leadership in a community that opposes the war believes it can deprive the rest of us from the safety and security offered by the brave men and women willing to sign up.

If Americans all took the approach taken by the Berkeley city council and its mayor - bashing the boots on the ground - what would that mean for you and me?

Keep your comments flowing…Berkeley is listening!
