He would wait behind an interior door until the kids would come in one at a time. Three kids aged from about 8 to about 13. He would then reach out and hit them on the head with a claw hammer. The horrible deed done-he'd drag'm out of the way and hide'm. He continued on until he had killed all 5 that lived in the house. The oldest was the kids mom ---about 35. Her boyfriend [an older step brother of the killer] was about 25 as I recall. This killer was in love with the 13 year old young lady but she'd told'm not to bother her. He "kept company" with these victims for [according to law officials] "more than a day or two" the word was. Acts of sexual perversion was performed on the corpses during these days of "keepin company"--male and female! This was about the most hateful crime I'd ever heard of and it happened in our little town about a block from my older sons house. Even next door neighbors hadn't noticed much out of the ordinary because the young killer was there everyday which was commonplace. He was 15 then I think.

LIfe without parole! The house is still standing-repainted and now rented out to another family.

This is something I don't like to write about but it was brought to my mind today to post it. The reason? I'm not sure except ----a satanic club was in the local high school and this horrific crime was a part of a pact with satan. Who says satanic worship is "harmless"? satan came to kill steal and destroy. Jesus came to give life and give it more abundantly! I chose life a long time ago and my mind hasn't changed one little bit. We Christians must be very careful not to let "little insignifant things" creep into our lives and chip away at the teachings of Almighty God!

Again I apologize for offending anybody with this horrible story but crimes like this CAN and DO happen. Matt.24:44

Hoot my mouth is just hangin open. I can't even begin to imagine anything like that! I rarely watch the news....that stuff will give ya nightmares! Whenever someone tells me about some of the horrible things that are happening in this old world I usually say....well there is proof that satan is alive and well. I can't get over that the killer is 15.....I have a 12 yr old son.....not much younger. Something I've always wondered about is folks being 'posessed'. In the bible it talks a great deal about Jesus throwing demons out of people. No reason to think that things have changed. I've always kinda wondered why nobody talks about that sort of thing now. I'd say that 15 yr old would be a prime candidate.
