Anyone Know or Met Any Murderers?

[benoitbabe]

Yup, sure did. I knew a boy who brutally raped and murdered his own grandmother. He will thankfully never see the light of day.

This piece of work lived 2-3 houses down from my parents, moving into the house their friends moved out of. Thankfully though he didn't live there for long.

Yes, I knew an older teen when I was a kid who brutally killed his maternal grandmother. He recently died in prison. I am still close to his step mom and 2 half sisters.https://law.justia.com/cases/massach...13mass707.html

Yes!

While at college in the mid 2000s i found a job in a travel agency, which was great because it was within walking distance from home and my boss was so cool when it was quiet i could do a lot of my college work.

My route to work was a 10-15 minute walk past a canal and a footpath that led out on to a small subdivision of houses built in the 1960s. It wasn't long before i started to see two people. One a scruffy almost homeless looking man wearing a green vietnam style jacket and the other a woman always dressed in a business skirt suit, both with their dogs.

Somedays they would be talking and others kinda kissing and hugging, this went on for months. Until one day my boss told me i could come in 15 minutes later than normal because someone was coming in to test the alarms. So that day instead of seeing them together, the guy is walking away and as i get to a little passage way that lead out to the houses i can see her just coming out of it and on to the street.

Thats when i see her put the dog inside and embrace a man outside a house, before both of them get in a car. it's her husband! this woman was having some strange affair, where using the excuse of her walking her dog would meet up with the scruffy guy before work.

This went on for maybe 2 years, before i left my job and then my town....

Fast forward to 2020, everything closes thanks to the pandemic, people working from home... well it turns out their affair had gone on for at least 15 years, as soon as covid hits, they couldn't see each other anymore...

One night he breaks into their home while they slept, he kills her and her husband and even their 4 year old daughter. He then goes the local gas station and lights himself on fire. somehow he survives and has been in jail ever since...

I mentioned in the Tommy Zeiglar thread that I am from Winter Garden. Eunice Edwards was a new 4th grade teacher the year I was in 4 th grade. That was the year that she married Tommy. She was so excited about her wedding. We knew all about it. My classroom was next door to hers and our classes had PE together.

I knew (of) Tommy through Eunice and all my life from the furniture store. My family were customers. I have memories of going in there as a child. My aunt and uncle and Tommy’s parents were friends . We all went to church together at First Baptist. Tommy’s parents left their home to the pastor when they died.

My mother, aunt and my aunt’s sister-in-law attended Tommy’s trial.

I think it would be scary to meet one!

My mother's half-sister.

The first time I met her was in 2000, after she was paroled after serving 15 years in prison for murdering her first husband. My aunt shot him to death in a grocery store parking lot, claiming she was tired of him beating her. What didn't help her case is that she tried to load his body in the trunk of her car, in broad daylight nonetheless, where many people witnessed the events that transpired.

She ended up marrying a convicted rapist after her prison sentence and had two children with him. I held her infant son a few times but not her infant daughter. The last time I saw my aunt and cousins was at my maternal grandmother's funeral in 2005. She is divorced now but still in trouble with the law. My mother and I have no contact with them and wish not to.

I have one with a small twist at the end. When I was in HS my GF and I used to have a guy who would plop down at our table sometimes and eat with us. He was kind of an affable schlub so we didnt mind. He was several years behind us class wise. He talked sometimes about his GF that went to another local school and had even asked if we wanted to double date with them sometime. Not our thing so we never did.

Fast forward a couple years, I flip on the 11 pm news and they are covering a murder-suicide and jumpin jesus on a pogo stick when they post up the ubiquitous yearbook photo it is the same guy ! Killed the aforementioned GF and then himself. Sad situation.

Fair warning you may see this coming from a mile away but many,many years later my mother, who never met a stranger, made friends with another woman about her age. One night at Sunday dinner she was mentioning that this person was having some health issues and I asked if she had relatives locally. My mother told me the husband was deceased and her son also under some tragi...BOOM ! It hit me at that moment like a ton of bricks SHE WAS HIS MOTHER ! I never put 2 and 2 together even though I knew the last name

I have known 3. An uncle murdered my Aunt because she left him. He was an abusive alcoholic. Shot her in the head on their twins birthday. Baytown, TX. Dont remember the year. I was around 14, 65 now. Worked right next to a guy, same issues as my uncle. His wife dissapeared about 40 years ago. Neighbors and friends of hers believe her murdered her, fed her to their pigs and buried her remains under a concrete patio he had poured shortly after. Kelly Seglier did an episode with interviews with people around Alton and West Plains, MO that knew her. She lived in Alton, MO. I cant think of their names right know but when I do, I'll update. A friend who was taking care of a very elderly lady did horrible things to this lady including biting off a ripple. Jennifer Collins from West Plains, MO. Murder occurred I think Pocahontas, AR.

Welcome to the site my friend!

I spent most of my life working in law. We usually did defense but we somehow ended up representing a mass murderer. He wanted the chair. There is but some much you can do. He wanted the chair and he got the chair.

So this isnt exactly met or known but it popped in my head after my last post since it occurred roughly in the same time frame.

I worked in the real estate department of a bank, one of the things I did was delinquent loans.

One that I dealt with was a sad case, a man killed his wife and left his children parent less. Due to the circumstances under which it happened it was pretty notorious in our area. I was dealing with lawyers for the children because,compassion aside, the last thing the bank needed to do was foreclose on a home in these circumstances.

So all correspondence in regard to it came across my desk, including the letters the murderer was sending to us from his cell....rather eerie.
