Just a day before the election, Wake County school board member Debra Goldman held a press conference this morning to respond to the 2010 police report and to attack her opponent for state auditor, Democratic incumbent Beth Wood.

The official purpose of the meeting was for Goldman to share with the electronic media the recordings she had had played to the N&O on Oct. 27. While the news conference means the questions about the 2010 report will get more coverage today, it means that Goldman is also guaranteed that there will be coverage of her attacks on Wood.

Goldman said she wanted to show "that I'm not a caricature that some members of the press have tried to color me as, that I am a real person."

Could Wake County school board member Debra Goldman be facing more than political troubles over the $130,000 in jewelry, cash and coins that she reported were stolen from her Cary home in June 2010?

As noted in today's article by Anne Blythe, Cary police on Thursday reopened the investigation of the case that was closed more than two years ago without any arrests. While police aren't saying why the case is being reopened, the answer could come from Steven Goldman, the estranged husband of Debra Goldman,

Steven Goldman said Thursday that police asked him this week for a list of the jewelry he thinks his wife currently possesses.
