Astronaut -- armed, disguised and diaper-clad -- charged with attempted murder

NASA astronaut Lisa Marie Nowak is being charged with attempted murder today, hours after a judge set bail that would have let her leave jail on assault and kidnapping charges.

Nowak is accused of attacking and trying to kidnap a Patrick Air Force Base captain in a dark parking lot at Orlando International Airport early Monday morning. Nowak told police she wanted to talk to the woman about their involvement with the same male astronaut.

Nowak apparently drove from Houston to Orlando to confront Shipman. Nowak told police that she wanted to talk with Shipman about astronaut Bill Oefelein, with whom both had relationships. Oefelein piloted his first shuttle mission in December.

As Orlando police arrived, they saw Nowak place a black bag into a garbage can.
Inside the bag they found a wig, trench coat, a BB pistol, a new steel mallet, a new folding knife with a 4-inch blade, three to four feet of rubber tubing, several plastic garbage bags and about $600 in cash. Also in the bag was a handwritten list of those items.

Diapers also were found in the car, which Nowak told police she wore so she didn’t have to stop to urinate during the 950-mile drive.
