One of Canada’s leading French-language news outlets abruptly removed a crudely antisemitic caricature of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu from its website on Wednesday morning following a storm of protest from Canadian politicians and Jewish advocates.

The image, drawn by veteran cartoonist Serge Chapleau — who has won several awards for his work and was honored with the Order of Canada medal in 2015 — was published by the Montreal-based newspaper La Presse and appeared on the front page of its print edition. It showed Netanyahu as Nosferatu, the titular character of a classic 1922 German Expressionist silent movie about a blood-sucking vampire, Count Orlok, who preys upon a real estate agent and his wife under the cover of purchasing a house and who, later in the film, unleashes a plague of rats onboard a ship on which he is traveling. The film is based on the famous 1897 novel Dracula, set in Romania.

Chapleau’s cartoon imposed Netanyahu’s features on that of a vampire wearing a grim, lifeless expression, with his hands replaced by long claws. An accompanying text displayed the word “Nosfenyahou” — a contraction of “Nosferatu” and the Francophone spelling of Netanyahu’s last name — dripping with blood. Another text beneath declared “On the way to Rafah,” the city in Gaza where Israeli troops have been battling Hamas terrorists.

Historically, antisemitic caricatures of Jews frequently depicted them as blood-suckers, building on earlier Christian libels that falsely accused Jews of using the blood of Christians in their religious rituals. Since the Oct. 7 Hamas pogrom in Israel, the same motif has appeared across the Arab world in relation to Israel’s war against Hamas in Gaza, with news outlets in Morocco, Jordan, and Qatar all publishing cartoons of Netanyahu drinking the blood and consuming the flesh of Israel’s adversaries.

By the middle of Wednesday morning, La Presse had removed its contribution to the genre following widespread protests on social media. However, the paper has not apologized for the offending image nor offered an explanation as to why it was published to the 860,000 followers of its feed on X/Twitter.

“No big deal, just the second-largest newspaper in French Canada caricaturing Jews as vampires,” David Frum — a Canadian-American writer and former speechwriter for US President George W. Bush — remarked in a post. Frum added: “That’s how antisemitism often works. A rich inventory of anti-Jewish images and themes pre-exists: the Jew as bloodsucker, the Jew as child-killer, the Jew as alien enemy. When a user wants to vent rage or dislike … the resource accumulated over centuries is waiting for him.”

Canadian politicians who condemned the cartoon included Quebec Senator Leo Housakos, who said he had been “appalled” by it.

“While Mr. Netanyahu, as with any politician, is not above criticism, this kind of antisemitic trope is reminiscent of the 1930s. I’m saddened for Jews across Canada for the level of hate to which we, as Canadians, have co-signed,” Housakos’ X/Twitter post continued.

The year was full of warning signs for how the press will cover Trump '24

The failures of legacy news outlets paved Donald Trump’s path to the presidency in 2016.

Obsessive, spectacle-minded coverage from major broadcast and cable networks and print and digital publications helped push the real estate mogul and reality TV star ahead of the pack during the Republican primary, as their top executives touted the resulting boom in ratings and profits.

And while critical scrutiny of Trump’s bigotry and authoritarianism increased during the general election campaign, outlets remained wedded to a “both sides” vision of journalism which resulted in disproportionate coverage of relatively minor scandals involving Trump’s Democratic opponent, Hillary Clinton — particularly in the days just before the election.

The result was a narrow Trump victory, followed by four years of chaos, corruption, cruelty, conspiracy theories, mass death, proto-fascism, election subversion, and, ultimately, insurrection.

How I’ve been doing (feel free to give me some advice cause ya girl needs it 🤍)

I’ll try to make this short. I’m burnt out.

Currently I’m working as a legal assistant at a small firm. I work in the department of real estate with one other paralegal [she’s married to the one lawyer I work for] with about seven or eight years of experience. There’s one other legal assistant who works in litigation. I only have a year’s worth of experience and just got out of school last year in April/May.

I thought this was a job I’d like and was considering law school, but don’t know if this is something I want to pursue anymore for the following reasons:

Firstly, I work with a paralegal who’s expecting me to understand mortgages and all the bank’s requirements as if I have the amount of experience she has. She either confuses me or doesn’t explain herself fully, or tells me I need to get “x” amount of documents done prior to closing day, etc. i barely have time in a day as it is. Now she’s going on holiday and it’s a mad rush to get documents signed.

This is not including the amount of files I’m preparing on a weekly basis, numerous phone calls, scheduling clients for notarizing documents, faxing, trying to make sure everything I’m doing won’t cause a mistake. She has these moods where she’s pissed and angry at me. She never apologizes and she blames me for mistakes she’s making . I’m always careful but Im just worried all the time.

For example, I had to correct her on a Homeowner’s Association (HOA) calculation as the number she submitted in the program was wrong. I wasn’t in the file, she was, and she blamed me for putting it in.

The other day I went to a doctors appointment and didn’t think it was going to take that long. It did, and I came to work at 2:00. She wasn’t in the office and I was left with two files for a client coming in to sign and I knew nothing about this file. She phones me half way through the meeting telling me she didn’t print or prepare a document we needed for signing. I was stressed trying to figure out this file on top of my lawyer asking me why certain things in the file aren’t included. I had to explain to him while figuring everything else out. Talk about multitasking.

I'm stressed and not sleeping well/and have been dealing with health issues. I have only half an hour lunch break at work and there are days we’re so busy I don’t even eat.

I'm job searching across practice areas. I'm numb to the family/criminal law drama. Give me something with some sort of satisfaction.

Like I said I’m burned out.

Please suggest areas I can work around this for the time being. I know I can leave, as of now, it’s just hard to at the moment.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m always positive to my coworkers and never get angry about anything. My lawyer’s super nice and supports all I’m doing. I’m only trying my hardest.

BOOK REVIEW: Nick Cutter and Andrew F. Sullivan's The Handyman Method

by Elizabeth Broadbent, Staff Writer.

If you’ve read The Marigold or were lucky enough to sit through StokerCon’s panel on anomalous architecture, you know Andrew Sullivan’s a master of the trope. The Handyman Method (Saga Press, an imprint of Simon & Schuster) pairs him with Nick Cutter (Rust and Bone, Cataract City) in a haunted house/DIY/the-sins-of-the-father-will-bite-you-in-the-ass novel out August 8th. With memorable characters and the same you-never-saw-this-coming hits as The Marigold, this work’s one more reason you need these guys on your must-read-list.

At first glance, Trent Sabor’s an average dude married to an average wife (Rita), with an average kid (Milo) and his plucky pet turtle, Morty. They seem, on paper, to be the perfect family. They move into the first house of a new development, Dunsany Estates. Their house, like them, seems perfect. It may be surrounded by dirt on every side, but it looks like everything they’ve ever dreamed of. 

The cracks begin to show—literally—when Trent discovers a gaping hole in their closet. Incandescent with rage, he finds a YouTube channel, Handyman Hank, to help him patch it. Meanwhile, his son’s hooked up to his tablet watching Little Boy Blue. As the Sabors’ new home begins to show more cracks, so does Trent’s family.

Handyman Hank goes from a few vids to “a cornucopia for the Y-chromosome set” endorsing “a certain kind of man[liness]” which “does things The Old-Fashioned way.” Trent’s sucked in, for Reasons that I won’t reveal—you deserve, like Trent, to discover these cracks the old-fashioned way. 

This novel’s concept feels both wildly imaginative—like so much new horror, with that Jesus-Christ-I-never-thought-of-that feel—and eminently relatable. Men lose their way; they turn to sketchy sources for validation. Spouses drift. Parents and children grow apart. It’s these metaphorical cracks in both relationships and identities that lie at the heart of this novel and its house. 

And if you’re a sucker for prose (you are, if you’ve read Sullivan’s earlier work; my apologies to Cutter for an ignorance about his), you’ll swoon. It’s not showy, but it’s rich, beautiful, unforgettable. The image of little Milo “plant[ing] his hands on his hips with an exaggerated squint, a pint-sized foreman assessing a construction site”—I can’t get that one from my head. My kids are a little older now, but goddamn if I can’t picture that stance.

Those prose and images are a gift in a fast-paced novel like this. You’ll find yourself rereading, sometimes slowing down to savor those moments, like Trent’s moment when “his eyelids fluttered and his breath bottomed out—some kind of psychic brownout that interrupted the power grid of his brain.” 

And once you get it, you get it, and you’ll want to read it again. You’ll flip through and see the pinpoint accuracy of their metaphors, the hidden mechanisms of characters’ motivations, and maybe that’s a sign you’ve got a real cracker of a book in your hands: you put it down and pick it up again. Then you’ll understand why Simon & Schuster picked it up.

You can pick up The Handyman Method in little more than a week, August 8th. Preorder it before it kicks to a second printing, third, or fourth printing—and it will. You’ll find this one on your Barnes & Noble shelves later this year, pinky-swear.

Archivists on the Issues: Sophisticated Bureaucracies, Archives, and Fictional Depictions [part 2]

Continued from part 1

Archivists on the Issues is a forum for archivists to discuss the issues we are facing today. Today’s post is by Burkely Hermann (me), Metadata Librarian for National Security Archive and current I&A Blog Coordinator. There are spoilers for each of the books, animated series, films, and other media he will be discussing. It was originally published on the Issues and Advocacy blog on Jan. 3, 2023. Also posted on my Wading Through the Cultural Stacks WordPress blog on Feb. 13, 2022.

While bureaucracies are famously criticized in novels like Catch-22 and The Trial, they are a major part of other media, like the acclaimed animated series, Futurama. In the series, Hermes Conrad (voiced by Phil LaMarr), is a bureaucrat who works for the Central Bureaucracy, which manages legal, financial, and business matters in the city of New New York. In one episode, "Lethal Inspection", a physical file archive is shown, with Hermes taking a folder out of a file cabinet. It is later revealed that he was the inspector who approved a defective robot named Bender (voiced by John DiMaggio), after be burns the file.

Brad Houston, a Document Services Manager for the city of Milwaukee, said the physical file archive is really a records center because it has semi-active records. He described how the Milwaukee records center works, noting the importance of filling out transfer forms correctly, pointing out that records are organized by box with specific assigned numbers, and importance of records management training. As another archivist put it, information and records management is as much about understanding bureaucratic processes and human behavior as it is about the records and information.

While there are many other examples of fictional bureaucracies, [10] one specifically comes to mind: the Elven bureauacracy in the children's adventure and supernatural comedy-drama animated series, Hilda. An elf named Alfur (voiced by Rasmus Hardiker) is a series protagonist. Like the other elves in the series, they can only be seen if their tiny paperwork is signed and filled out. In the first episode, the protagonist, Hilda (voiced by Bella Ramsey), tries to come to peace with the elves, who see her as a menace because she stepped through their houses for years without realizing it. In the process, she goes through various Elven political officials who declare there is nothing that can be done and that the matter is out of their hands.

As the series continues, Alfur becomes a correspondent in the city of Trolberg, and files reports about his daily activities in the city, where Hilda is now living. Characters such as Frida (voiced by Ameerah Falzon-Ojo) and Deputy Gerda (voiced by Lucy Montgomery) are shown to care about paperwork as much as him, as does the witchy librarian named Kaisa (voiced by Kaisa Hammarlund). In other episodes, Alfur proudly tells a legendary Elf story about a fight over a real estate contract, he meets a society which doesn't use paperwork, and emphasizes the importance of reading the fine print. The series also features elf-mail, known as "email", which is sent from the countryside into the city with various couriers. Alfur later states that elves pride themselves on the accuracy of historical records and says he is impressed by how Hilda uses loopholes. In the next to last episode of the show's second season, Alfur convinces an elf sent as his replacement to write an eyewitness confirmation form, confirming that his reports from Trolberg, said to be "the most requested from the official archive", are accurate and true.

Hilda, emphasizes importance of accountability within hierarchies more than fictional bureaucracies shown in The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy and Futurama. Alfur is graded on a performance management system and experiences some level of bureaucratic accountability. The latter is achieved, within institutions, through strategies, administrative rules, budget reviews, and performance management. It can also be accompanied by citizen accountability, which attempts to hold government administrators accountable through forums and laws, using communication technologies to directly access bureaucratic information, monitor government activities, and give feedback on delivery of public services. However, Futurama and Hilda make clear the value of records managers (and archivists) who have developed strategies and experience with relationship-building and negotiating bureaucratic politics.

Many archives, these days, are not "faceless" or "nameless" as those in fiction, nor do they encourage falsification of information to protect individuals. Instead, some likely came into existence during the Progressive Era to "lessen anxiety" about issues such as race. While some bureaucratic records, within archives, may be considered "cold", there have been efforts to humanize the files, especially those about human atrocities. Even so, some archivists remain impatient with "inanities" of bureaucracies they are part of. [11]

Bureaucracy remains part and parcel of archives. There have been efforts, in recent years, to reduce bureaucracies said to be "overlapping" and related claims that government by bureaucracy is dead or no longer necessary. Despite this, committing information to paper, then managing, or shuffling, that paper within a bureaucracy remains a "source of an essential power." After all, records have the power to legitimize bureaucracy, while promoting political hegemony and constructing social memory. In fact, in the 1985 film, Brazil, a controlling bureaucracy rules people's lives and crushes spirits. [12] The film's protagonist, Sam Lowry, has been described by some as an archivist who has "dreamlike moments" and sees himself as a winged superhero. He tries to tamper with data in order to save the woman he loves before his vision is shown to be an illusion.

While there won't be any "bureaucratic cock-ups" or Vogan Constructor Fleets demolishing Earth to make way for a hyperspace expressway, [13] sophisticated and complex bureaucracy will remain an integral part of archives, whether we like it or not.

The doctrine of formal democracy is not scientific Socialism, but the theory of so-called natural law. The essence of the latter consists in the recognition of eternal and unchanging standards of law, which among different peoples and at different periods find a different, more or less limited and distorted expression. The natural law of the latest history – i.e., as it emerged from the Middle Ages – included first of all a protest against class privileges, the abuse of despotic legislation, and the other “artificial” products of feudal positive law. The theoreticians of the, as yet, weak Third Estate expressed its class interests in a few ideal standards, which later on developed into the teaching of democracy, acquiring at the same time an individualist character. The individual is absolute; all persons have the right of expressing their thoughts in speech and print; every man must enjoy equal electoral rights. As a battle cry against feudalism, the demand for democracy had a progressive character. As time went on, however, the metaphysics of natural law (the theory of formal democracy) began to show its reactionary side – the establishment of an ideal standard to control the real demands of the laboring masses and the revolutionary parties.

If we look back to the historical sequence of world concepts, the theory of natural law will prove to be a paraphrase of Christian spiritualism freed from its crude mysticism. The Gospels proclaimed to the slave that he had just the same soul as the slave-owner, and in this way established the equality of all men before the heavenly tribunal. In reality, the slave remained a slave, and obedience became for him a religious duty. In the teaching of Christianity, the slave found an expression for his own ignorant protest against his degraded condition. Side by side with the protest was also the consolation. Christianity told him:– ”You have an immortal soul, although you resemble a pack-horse.” Here sounded the note of indignation. But the same Christianity said:– ”Although you are like a pack-horse, yet your immortal soul has in store for it an eternal reward.” Here is the voice of consolation. These two notes were found in historical Christianity in different proportions at different periods and amongst different classes. But as a whole, Christianity, like all other religions, became a method of deadening the consciousness of the oppressed masses.

Natural law, which developed into the theory of democracy, said to the worker: “all men are equal before the law, independently of their origin, their property, and their position; every man has an equal right in determining the fate of the people.” This ideal criterion revolutionized the consciousness of the masses in so far as it was a condemnation of absolutism, aristocratic privileges, and the property qualification. But the longer it went on, the more if sent the consciousness to sleep, legalizing poverty, slavery and degradation: for how could one revolt against slavery when every man has an equal right in determining the fate of the nation?

Rothschild, who has coined the blood and tears of the world into the gold napoleons of his income, has one vote at the parliamentary elections. The ignorant tiller of the soil who cannot sign his name, sleeps all his life without taking his clothes off, and wanders through society like an underground mole, plays his part, however, as a trustee of the nation’s sovereignty, and is equal to Rothschild in the courts and at the elections. In the real conditions of life, in the economic process, in social relations, in their way of life, people became more and more unequal; dazzling luxury was accumulated at one pole, poverty and hopelessness at the other. But in the sphere of the legal edifice of the State, these glaring contradictions disappeared, and there penetrated thither only unsubstantial legal shadows. The landlord, the laborer, the capitalist, the proletarian, the minister, the bootblack – all are equal as “citizens” and as “legislators.” The mystic equality of Christianity has taken one step down from the heavens in the shape of the “natural,” “legal” equality of democracy. But it has not yet reached earth, where lie the economic foundations of society. For the ignorant day-laborer, who all his life remains a beast of burden in the service of the bourgeoisie, the ideal right to influence the fate of the nations by means of the parliamentary elections remained little more real than the palace which he was promised in the kingdom of heaven.

UNSOLVED But Not Forgotten: Sabrina Aisenberg

This case is going to be one of those cases that are unsolved by the eyes of the law, but everyone pretty much knows he committed the crime. This case involves a five month old baby girl named Sabrina Paige Aisenberg who mysteriously went missing out of her bedroom in the middle of the night. You can take a guess right now as to who you think the prime suspects are.

Sabrina Aisenberg was born in Florida in 1997 to parents Marlene and Steve Aisenberg. Marlene was a baby and toddler supervisor, and Steve was a real estate agent. Sabrina also had two older siblings, William, who was eight years old, and Monica, four years old. The family was described as very happy and very loving, and their life just seemed perfect. However, everything took a tragic turn on November 24th, 1997, when Marlene discovered Sabrina missing from her crib at 6AM. Marlene immediately called 9-1-1 and was recorded screaming in a panic saying that her baby was not in her crib, she can’t find her, and that she thinks that the garage door must have been left open. While Marlene was inside with the other two children waiting for police to arrive, Steve ran out the front door and went to their neighbors house to tell them that their baby girl was missing. When the neighbor and his wife came out of their house, they saw Marlene standing outside and waved at them. The man claimed that she did not resemble a panicked parent who had just discovered their child missing, and seemed really calm. However, when Marlene’s close friend Cathy showed up, news reporters recorded her crying and sobbing into the arms of this friend. Cathy claimed that Marlene was genuinely distraught and could hear the pain in her voice. 

When the police arrived they were looking for evidence for two different theories. The first theory they were looking into was Sabrina being taken by an abductor, and looking around for any clues or evidence that pointed them in that direction. However, they were also looking into the parents, as the majority of missing child cases involve family members being the culprits. The police looked around the home for any signs of the baby, blood or strange markings, any signs that the child could’ve been harmed or killed inside the home, but they couldn’t find anything. They did make notes about the home being messy, and even though that doesn’t really mean anything, they thought that it could mean that they were possibly neglectful parents. Police questioned their friends about it, and they shot it down instantly, saying that they were just messy people, but were amazing parents. The police did end up finding an unidentified shoe print and a random blonde hair inside of Sabrina’s crib, both of which could belong to the potential kidnapper, but suspicion still weighed heavily on the parents.  

That same day Marlene and Steve went on live TV to give a public appeal about their daughter, but this video kind of made them seem even more suspicious to the eyes of the public. People claimed that they didn’t come off as genuine, they didn’t seem sad enough, worried enough, they weren’t crying. People were really just tearing the video up. Later during a recorded interview, Marlene talks about this experience and states that theirs is not a book that could guide her on how to feel or how to speak and act during a situation like this. She was in shock, she was worried, she just wanted to make her statement to get her little girl home. Just because she wasn’t hysterical in the video doesn’t mean she had something to do with her baby's disappearance. However, the public still believed that she was faking it. The public weren’t the only ones feeling skeptical about the Aisenberg parents either. The authorities were also finding this whole story hard to believe. They tried to imagine some stranger just walking into someone’s home, going into the baby’s room, taking her out of the crib that’s directly across the hall to where the parents were sleeping, and just walked out of the house. They were also suspicious that the family dog, Brownie, didn’t bark or make a fuss when this intruder came into the home, but Cathy stated that the dog was just a very gentle and quiet dog who didn’t really bark at people too often. Meanwhile, other friends of the family said that Brownie did bark a lot and was a very energetic dog and would totally bark at an intruder if there was one. 

The police decided to bug both Marlene’s and Steve’s phones so they can get the recordings and pin the location in case the potential kidnapper calls them. They were told to answer the phone every single time it rings, because you never know who might be calling them. Meanwhile one day Steve gets a call from his brother and they’re just chatting about normal everyday things when suddenly another call tries to get through, and instead of hanging up the call with his brother, he continues talking and ignores the phone call. The police could hear the beeping from the incoming call, so now their suspicions about them grew even more. It made police think that they knew more about what happened to Sabrina then they were saying. There was one particular from the day they discovered Sabrina missing, and this video showed Steve outside with an officer, smiling and laughing, even though just hours before he found his baby missing. Some people said that others are looking too far into it, and that it was either just awkward laughter, or the officer was just trying to cheer him up and made a joke and he was just laughing to be polite. Then others argued against that saying that if he could laugh on the same day that his daughter went missing, then he couldn’t be too upset about it.

Marlene said that she thought the police were looking into her and her husband so much as possible suspects, that they’ve been ignoring the possibility of their being a kidnapper. She said that they could’ve missed big leads that could’ve led them back to their daughter if they had just left them alone and believed they didn’t have a hand in Sabrina’s disappearance. One reason Marlene felt this way is due to the fact that another home in their neighborhood was broken into just days before Sabrina was taken. This intruder broke the window in the baby's bedroom, but he fled the scene before he could actually enter the window. Marlene thought that the intruder targeted that household to try and steal their baby, and when they were unsuccessful, they tried to steal her baby a few days later and succeeded. However, that theory was also argued against since they lived in a very wealthy area and the intruder could’ve just been breaking in as a regular robbery, and could have tried entering through the baby’s room by chance, and not because they were specifically trying to abduct the baby. Marlene also thought that the police were being too picky about the leads they were receiving, saying that they’d go check grocery stores and whatnot when a sighting was reported there, but when a Caucasian baby was being taken onto a plane by a family of a different race, they wouldn’t look into it. Nonetheless, the authorities and the public truly felt like the Aisenberg parents had something to do with their daughter's disappearance. Marlene and Steve even asked to take a polygraph test to prove their innocence, and the police told her that Marlene’s test was inconclusive, but was to be expected due to the fact that she had been crying and was clearly upset. However, the sheriff's office told her that her results were not inconclusive and refused to publicly share the results of her test, and somehow the results were leaked to the public anyway. Marlene then took a second test where the public was told that she failed, but she was told that her results were again, inconclusive. There were also rumors and accusations going around that Marlene and Steve were both having separate affairs and that Sabrina wasn’t even Steve’s child. 

After a couple of days into the investigation, Steve’s brother convinced him that the police were trying to frame them for their own daughter's disappearance and urged them to get a lawyer, and they stopped cooperating with the police at this time. Due to their refusal to cooperate with them any further, police had to take extra measures to try and gather information that could help locate Sabrina. They gathered enough evidence to allow them to bug their home without them knowing to see if they ever talked about Sabrina and what happened to her. Within two months of recording their conversations, police had to listen to and transcribe thousands of conversations, and the Federal Grand Jury was convened to look into Sabrina’s disappearance. The Aisenberg parents were asked to come in and testify by the Grand Jury, but they turned it down after being advised by their lawyer, even though this could’ve helped clear their name. Since they wouldn’t cooperate to testify, this just made them look even more suspicious. The police then sent over social workers to check on their other children, which made them feel like they were using this as a manipulation tactic to try and scare them into thinking they were gonna lose their other children. 

It was at this time that the police didn’t even believe that Sabrina was even alive anymore, and started a search party to look for a body. They didn’t find any baby clothes, toys, old diapers, absolutely nothing anywhere outside the home that could signify that she was still alive. A year and a half later in May of 1999, Marlene and Steve moved their family to Maryland due to financial issues, and it was just a few months later where the case would have a huge development. On September 9th, 1999, Marlene was home alone packing for a trip when suddenly a bunch of cars pulled up in front of her home. Multiple men came out of the cars, all dressed in black, walking around the outside of her home and peering into her windows. She was frightened, and yet she called her lawyer instead of calling the police. The intruders broke into the house and she heard someone scream, “Marlene! Come downstairs right now!” She walked over to the stairs and saw a man pointing a gun right at her. Marlene asked them who they were and why they were there, and she was told they were the FBI and they were there to arrest her for the involvement of Sabrina’s disappearance. While she was being arrested at home, Steve was also being arrested for the same reasons at his job. The two were brought into the station, finger printed, strip searched, and put into two different holding cells. 

The police were going over the recordings of their conversations during the time they bugged their home, and they overheard Marlene and Steve talking about how Sabrina was dead and what they were supposed to tell the police. The recordings were allegedly heard with Marlene screaming, “the baby’s dead and buried!” and It was found dead because you did it. The baby’s dead no matter what you say – You just did it!” Steve was then heard saying, “I wish I hadn’t harmed her” and “they don’t know the truth, right?” It was also heard that Steve said he hurt her due to the cocaine. They were both charged with conspiracy to murder and lying to investigators. However, the judge dropped all the charges against them two years later, claiming that the prosecutors misinterpreted the strength of this case, and said that the alleged statements from the recorded conversation were way too garbled and unclear to be understood. If you look up the recordings and listen to them, you too will agree that it was just one huge jumbled mess. 

Years later information emerged that the police just decided not to look into at the time of the disappearance. There was a neighbor that was all the way down the street who was letting his dog out around the time where Sabrina was supposed to have been taken, and this man heard a baby crying. The Aisenberg home was too far away to be able to hear crying from their home, and there were no other homes around that street who had a baby at the time, so the only possible reason this man could’ve heard a baby crying is if the baby was being taken and walked away with. Sadly the man who made this statement has since passed away, and even if he was still alive the information now would be totally useless. In March of 2018, two women went to the police claiming to be Sabrina Aisenberg. Both of these women were the same age as Sabrina would’ve been, both of them looked extremely similar to how she would’ve looked, and both of them claimed to have no baby photos or videos or anything of them until they were around 9 months old. Unfortunately, neither of these women were Sabrina. 

That was the last thing we would ever hear about this case, as no other leads have come up since. There’s been progression photos made of Sabrina who would now be in her twenties, and her family still believe that Sabrina is out there somewhere, not even knowing that she had been abducted and taken away, and just living a normal life under the identity of someone else. Marlene and Steve still have a bedroom in their home with a bed and everything that’s ready for her if she ever comes home someday. 

Above is her age progression photo. What do you think? Do you think the parents were involved? Or do you think she was taken by someone else?
