Alan Michael Tanguay

Alan Michael Tanguay

Ok I thought this case would be done and over with, however, my email has been full of questions asking me who I think I am and why I think I have the right to post anything about this case.

First let me say sorry for the delay in responding to your emails (or hate mail) with the outcome of the Casey Anthony case, I have lost a lot more faith in our criminal justice system and have not been posting a lot on my own blog because of the outcome of that case. Now with that said, let me start by saying this

Who am I, I am the Jakester and I have every right to post any of my opinions on my own blog.

Secondly, what gives me the right to talk about Alan Michael Tanguay? Well that sorta falls into the section of freedom of speech.

Thirdly, my opinions are based on facts that come out in court or from others that are close to the case that will email me information about the said case.

It’s not like I sit here and make up cases to post about, I certainly don’t make up facts of a case and I certainly have no reason to lie about anyone I post about.

So with that said, I would like to say if you don’t like what  you read on my blog, there is a very simple solution, DON’T READ MY BLOG.

Now the facts of the Alan Michael Tanguay you claim I don’t know what I’m talking about. Let’s see the major facts of this case still remain unchanged as Tanguay is now a convicted felon for murdering his neighbor.

Tanguay was reported to have talked about the killing to friends.

Tanguay was reported to have confessed to the crime.

Tanguay partial shoe print was found at the scene.

Tanguay had blood drops on his shoes

Tanguay reported to have killed her for 6 bucks to buy beer.

Now tell me what part I got wrong? Now I did do a post of other information that was emailed to me and in that post, I made it clear (or at least I thought I was clear) that the information in that post was sent to me by an anonymous person. And I’m not mistaken I think I even said I could not confirm or deny they information being presents.

It’s great that Alan Michael Tanguay has a lot of friends and still wants to believe that he is innocent. However, the courts have found him guilty and now it is confirmed that he is a murderer.

So with this all said, I thank you for your emails about this case, however, your opinions carry no weight since he has been convicted. He is a murderer, sounds like to me you need to deal with your issues and not take his conviction out on me for posting about this case.

Tanguay, 19, went from teenager to serving life in prison.

I had several emails asking for my opinion on this case and for me to post more information.

Sadly I did not get to see the trial take place so I was unable to provide all the feedback that some people had requested and for that I’m sorry, I wish I could have listened to the entire case and then I could have formed more opinions to post.

However, with the information that I have read about the case, I could not really see any other verdict in this case.

Tanguay supposedly talked to his friends about the murder and the friends turned to the police. The SWAT team raided Tanguay’s home and arrested him when he was 16 years old.

Police also reported that this was one of the most brutal killings they had seen in many years of being on the police department.

I think this case is sad on many different levels. Not only did the Kaliszeski's lose a family member for no reason whatsoever, now the Tanguay family has lost a son for the rest of his life. Granted he will be alive the rest of his life, but it’s still an emotional loss for the family.

This case has received attention from several people I don’t know at all. The last post I posted an email I got about the mom being a drug addict and now I have an email stating the mom had gastric bypass surgery and something went wrong and now she has to take a lot of prescription medication to control her pain.

Who is right? I don’t know. Could it be mom is addicted to the RX pain medication?

Again, I’m not sure who is right and who is wrong especially since I just keep getting emails with no names or contact information.

I would have liked to have heard the defense for this case. From what was posted in the media the defense attorney did point out the DNA evidence on Tanguay’s Van shoe was only partially matched that of Kaliszeski’s. Defense Attorney Smith was reported to have said “what you hear is not evidence.” I wonder what he did call the so called evidence.

Of course I wonder what he had to say about the shoe print found inside Kaliszeski’s home.  

It was also reported that Tanguay glanced at a photo of the mutilated body on the defense table before he quickly closed the file folder.

I would think that would be the last thing he would want to see. After all now he is convicted of this murder. I would think that the vision of a brutal murder like this would be burned into his memory every time he closes his eyes.

After all he delivered 37 blows with 2 knives and almost decapitated her when he cut her neck from ear to ear, just to make sure.

Some of the people that have been emailing about this case has said they would send more information about Tanguay and all I can say is we will have to wait and see if they do email again.

As I said in the email to the person talking about I’m always interested in learning more about any case that I post.

Now only can the information be informative, it could also provide insight on how to keep you and your loved ones safe.

Now something else that I find alarming about this case is mom.

We have 2 very different opinions post about mom, but my question is where mom was while a 16 year old was out partying and drinking? Is this something she allowed to take place? Was she unable to control him?

Since first posting about this case a few years ago, we have had so many emails not only taking about mom, but talking about Tanguay as well. Some emails defended him and told me how awesome of a person he was and on the flip side some emailed and said he was nothing but a druggie/drunk

All I can say now is regardless of who is right and who’s wrong; it really makes no difference now. Tanguay is locked away for the rest of his life for committing such a brutal murder.

If we do receive other emails we will post them. (No names included)

I got an anonymous email to remind me that this case was about to get started in court.

The first post we reported about Tanguay can be found here

In case you forgot about this case, it has to do with the fact that Tanguay is accused of brutally murdering his neighbor for 6 bucks so he could get some beer.

This case should be interesting on several different levels.

First I want to see his reactions during the trial.

I remember reading post in the media about his laughing and crying during some proceeding. So it should be interesting to see how he reacts after all this time has passed and he has had time to sober up and understand everything that is happening.

Second, if he will take the stand in his own defense. I know most attorneys recommend that the defendant never takes the stand, but there is always the possibility that he will testify.

Third, to find out what his motive was to commit such a brutal crime (allegedly)

This list could go on for a while but I will stop here and address the anonymous email I received.

The anonymous email addressed some issues with his mother.  

The email stated that at the mothers’ place of employment it was well know she has a drug problem. It was reported that she was heard bragging about celebrating 420 and abusing prescription medications.

Then the email went on to say that she has an anger problem and they doubt her abilities to be a good parent.

Granted I cannot verify any of this information at this time and since the information arrived in an anonymous email, I cannot say 100% that any portion of this information is true and correct.

However, with this information coming in it should be interesting to see how the defense will handle information like this during the case.

Will they claim he was miss-treated as a child, introduced to drugs by his mother, this list could go on and on

Anyway, with the case getting ready to start we will all get he answers we have been waiting for in this case.

And on a side note, when I first posted about this case, there was another person that would email me on a regular basis talking about how good of a person Alan Michael Tanguay was and other positive things about him, if you want to email again, please do. As you can tell you asked to remain anonymous and after all this time you have remained anonymous. And the same will stand true to the person that emailed me about mom.. IF you ask to remain anonymous, I will honor that request in return for the information that you hold about this case.

AKA The Jakester

Alan Michael Tanguay cries in court.

Alan Michael Tanguay cries in court.










I guess if I were going to court for a violent, brutal murder I would be in tears as well.

But with Alan Michael Tanguay its hard to believe this alleged cold blooded killer really was emotional over his crime.

In case you forgot he is accused of breaking into the home of Patricia Kaliszeski and then he nearly decapitated her over $6 bucks he stole so he could buy beer.

Now with reading different comments about Alan he has had a pretty bad life up to this point and it seems his life took a turn for the worse when he allegedly committed this murder.

I have read several comments on different blogs by anonymous bloggers claiming that they knew Alan Tanguay growing up and some said it was hard to believe that this teen was capable of this crime, while others shed a little more light on his upbringing.

Some anonymous bloggers said that Alan M. Tanguay had a life alone. He had a mother that was never there for him and never tried to help him. There was apparently drug abuse in the home and just over all the kid had a tough life.

Now I feel bad for the kid and certainly don’t think that any child should have to suffer just because his parent(s) are addicted to drugs. But at the same time I really have no sympathy for Alan Tanguay since he made a conscious choice to nearly decapitate his neighbor.

With Alan the remorse is almost hard to believe with his MySpace account as it was.

It has been reported that his MySpace said “I like gory shit, like people getting their necks slit and tongues pulled out.

Now even more interesting is the comments he made before his arrest. Alan Tanguay had been allegedly bragging to friends that he had murdered other before this arrest.

But none the less when it was time for court, Alan Tanguay broke down into tears.

Maybe it was his tough street guy attitude was overpowered by reality.

During court it was ordered that he would remain in custody until the prosecutors decided if they would charge him as an adult.

Alan Tanguay, 16 – a high school drop out, was shackled and was assigned a public defender after the judge heard a brief amount of the evidence.

In court it was said that Tanguay stabbed the victim multiple times and slit her throat to ensure she died.

Even though Tanguay was having his emotional break down in court, I wonder what effect his obscene outburst with the media had on people in court. Then after his obscene outburst, he returned to crying in court.

After the hearing his mom refused any and all questions about her son and neighbor.

Tanguay has a history of arrest and has been through the juvenile court system before. His prior arrest includes battery and burglary.

This case will not end in the usual outcome of juvenile arrest and the case will more than likely be presented to the Grand Jury to determine if Tanguay should be tried as an adult.

Now this is just my opinion, I think there should be no question about how this case should be handled by the courts. I personally think he should be tried as an adult and given the most extreme punishment allowed by law and if that happens to be the death penalty, so be it.

Tanguay’s attitude towards this case makes one wonder if there is anything there left to work with. His time spent bragging about killing others before this arrest, his crying in court and then an obscene outburst and then right back to crying and shaking and we cannot forget what he posted on MySpace.

I feel bad for the kid and no child should have to grow up living a life like he had, but at the same time people have to take some personal responsibility for their actions. Tanguay elected to commit a brutal, violent murder and stabbed a lady to death and consciously decided to slit her throat to ensure she died, he in my opinion is too far gone to even try to help.

Hopefully the courts will get things in order and get him tried as an adult and keep him right where he belongs, in prison off the streets.

Give me money for beer or I will kill you…

Give me money for beer or I will kill you…



Wait; let me kill you and steal your 6 dollars and then I can buy beer with the money I stole from you.


At least what Alan Michael Tanguay, 16,was thinking. Palm Bay Police have arrested Tanguay for first degree murder.

Apparently he is accused of fatally cutting 58 year old Patricia Kaliszeski throat.

He used a knife from her home and stole approximately 6 bucks in cash from her and he wanted to buy beer with that money.

Kaliszeski was found dead, face down in a pool of her blood in her home on Friday and Police were able to arrest Tanguay on Monday.

According to media reports Kaliszeski was found in her bedroom with her throat cut and multiple stab wounds in her neck.

Police reported they had information from at least two witnesses and they both pointed their fingers right to Tanguay. Apparently Tanguay was stupid enough to ask someone to buy beer for him with the money he stole. Not to mention he was also stupid enough to tell witnesses statements only the killer would know.

In addition to the witnesses, Tanguay confessed to the crime during his interview with police.
What’s wrong with this picture? A 16 year old killing someone for 6 bucks for beer?

First we would have to wonder where in the heck were the parents. And what kind of life did this kid have if he was so desperate to drink beer that he decided to viciously kill someone over it.

There has not been a lot of other information released about this case that I can find at this time. There was no arrest information that I could find on line at the time of writing this post. So I will keep up with this case and see what else we can turn up.

It would be interesting to find out what was going through a 16 year old brain and why he thought it would be appropriate to murder someone for 6 bucks for beer.
