Reportedly Nina once dated one of Reiser’s colleagues, one Sean Sturgeon who reportedly has confessed to several murders, but emphatically not that of Nina.
One of the continuing mysteries surrounding the current case is why Reiser’s lawyer has not mentioned this strange character in open court. I must assume that DuBois has been ordered not to do so, and that – for reasons best known to the authorities and the parties – Mr. Sturgeon has been ruled out as a suspect.

THE HANS REISER MURDER TRIAL IS IN RECESS UNTIL NOVEMBER 26.
I have created an edited version of my comments about this trial to date, arranged in true chronological order. They are now posted at THIS LINK: http://jaygaskill.com/ReiserAllPosts.htm
Here are some additional thoughts.
Mr. Reiser, born in December 1963, is a genius; he was involved in the development of Linux, the open source operating system, and he has created two file systems (ReiserFS and Reiser4) for that increasingly popular alternative to Microsoft-based operating systems and software. Hans Reiser is famous in certain circles. His company, Namesys Inc, is soldiering on in his absence, but there are rumors that it may be sold to help defray its founder’s growing legal expenses.
Reiser was working in Russia when he met a young medical student, Nina, whom he married there. The Reisers had two children, the boy, R…, and his younger sister, N……
The marriage ended bitterly (no final divorce has yet been entered), and there have been struggles with support and custody. According to family law sources, Nina obtained a temporary restraining order against Hans in 2004, after accusing him of “pushing” her; he later agreed to a one year, no harassment order.
Reportedly Nina once dated one of Reiser’s colleagues, one Sean Sturgeon who reportedly has confessed to several murders, but emphatically not that of Nina.
One of the continuing mysteries surrounding the current case is why Reiser’s lawyer has not mentioned this strange character in open court. I must assume that DuBois has been ordered not to do so, and that – for reasons best known to the authorities and the parties – Mr. Sturgeon has been ruled out as a suspect.
The presence of at least one loosely wrapped colleague of Mr. Reiser in this story raises a question. So far, the DA has not yet articulated a single theory to explain how the defendant has eluded every attempt to uncover Nina’s body. Therefore I must ask:
DID THE KILLER HAVE ANY HELP?
