The most heartbreaking cases!!! - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I think that one of the most heartbreaking cases is the Jon Bennet (don't think I spelled that right!) and also the Texas most wanted, where Edward harold bell killed her son right before her eyes. I AM SO GLAD THAT GUY WAS CAUGHT! Friends till the end, and many more that I have seen. It just breaks my heart when I see how mean people are to eachother, and seeing all this hate in the world. What do you all think?

The Su Ya Kim case where the family had to close their shop and return to S. Korea was sad for me. :\ I think the murder is still unsolved to this day.

As a parent, the ones with missing/kidnapped kids get me the most. Like the one from the early days of UM where the mom had married into a wealthy Texas (?) family, and when she and her husband got divorced, he ran with their two boys and his parents were financing it. I remember the mom tracked them to Scotland, and the police missed him by literally HOURS.

I wonder if she ever got them back.

Yes the boys name was Charles & Christopher Smith and you'll be happy to know there was an update at the end that they were located and reunited with their mother. I believe the grandparents are still on the run but if my memory serves me I believe the father was arrested. Anyone who remembers any more details of the reunion or capture feel free to elaborate.

The boys were reunited with their mother back in the early to mid 90's I believe. I'll check my tape tonight and post the update.

Jennifer Pratt was pretty sad, she had so much going for her and for a brain injury to take it all away.....

Edward Harold Bell.....for his Mother to witness his shooting, like angel 25 said, I'm GLAD he was caught and "I hope they throw the book at him".....

The case with this woman named Victoria, I believe it was the Epilepsy Pooches. I'd didn't find the pooches themselves heartbreaking but the circumstance under which she became epileptic....a drunk driver. Another perfectly healthy woman who had things going for her and for a head injury to ruin her life, basically. Head and brain injuries get me. To me, if you have a head injury, either intentional by another human being or accidental, that takes away your livlihood.

Any thoughts?

The Edward Harold Bell case where he shot Larry Dickens to death was pretty bad. Bell shot Dickens in front of Dickens mother and his sister. I remember in re-enactment that Dickens mother had his blood all over her. It was one of the tougher re-enactments to watch. Thankfully Edward Harold Bell was eventually arrested, he had 15 years extra freedom but the bottom line is he was caught and justice was served. However Bell got off easy in that he was sentenced according to 1978 sentencing guidelines so he was sentenced to 70 years in prison. However if you whittle that down with good behavior and stuff, apperantly Bell has been a model prisoner because according to 1978 sentencing guidelines in Texas if you were sent to prison for 1st degree murder which is what I believe Bell was convicted of, you became eligible for parole after 19 years. Bell will be first eligible for parole in 2013 when he is 73 years old. It also said at the Texas Department of Corrections that he is due to be released in 2023 when he will be 83, that is if he isnt paroled before that time.

Some other ones, Kari Lynn Nixon, didnt they find the guy that killed her? I thought they had an update where they said they arrested a guy, or a guy that was already in prison or something admitted that he killed her. What was his name? Some other ones, Angela Hammond, that was a scary one, I will never forget her kidnapper saying "I didnt even need to use the phone anyway." Her town of Clinton, Missouri was in the news a few days ago when those elks clubs members were hurt when a floor in an old building collapsed. Gordon Page Jr, I think there has been sightings of him over the years and I actually believe these to be credible. I actually think there is a good chance he is still alive and wandering around the country. Joe and Mattie Harvey being murdered by their beloved niece and her boyfriend for money was sad. Dexter Stofonek the elderly gentleman murdered at a rest stop. Jay and Tanya two trusting teenagers that were murdered in Washington state in 1987. Lisa Kimmel, being murdered by that pig Dale Wayne Eaton. Eaton I believe is a serial rapist and killer. I just cant believe that Kimmel was his first or last kill. The Wendy Camp case where she, her daughter and sister in law were murdered by her ex husband Chad Noe and his mother. I know they did it and they have got away with murder for all these years. It is pretty sick. Finally, those people in Texas and southwest Arkansas that were murdered in like a 24 hour timespan in 1988 by two bored teenagers, William Glen Henry and Davey Lynn Crockett. Thankfully Henry and Crockett are both still in prison. They were sentenced to life when they should have got death. Henry and Crockett were both first eligible for parole last year but both were denied. Henry has appearantly been a model prisoner but Crockett got in trouble in the 90's for smuggling a gun into prison. Crockett got an additional ten years in prison on top of his life sentence for that.

Don't EVEN get me started on this. I have a huge problem with how the criminal justice system works in this respect, especially given the cold-blooded nature of this crime. I realize that I'm an intern at a PUBLIC DEFENDER'S OFFICE, but I think there are some serious problems with our legal system when someone can shoot another human being several times, GO BACK TO HIS TRUCK AND RELOAD, shoot that person again over the pleas of the victim's own mother... and still be paroled. A person who is caught with a good amount of heroin or meth will most likely spend more time in jail than a convicted murderer....

Thus ends the soap box.

Isn't that the case with the two crazy metalhead kids with the long hair and dangly earrings?

I'll add the Blind River rest area murders. Watching the husband try to tell what happened was heartbreaking. It's also screwed up for the guy who passed by at the wrong time and was killed by a shotgun blast through the windshield.

kadrmas15 · 06-29-2006, 06:26 AM

Yeah that was them. They must have listened to like too much RATT or too much Poision or something. But in all seriousness I dont know why they would go and kill 4 people for no reason at all. Just kill them and steal their cars. I dont even think they took the money off of the people or anything. Just killed them and stole their cars. Maybe they stole stuff but I cant remember. I think the cops thought though that robbery wasnt really the prime motive anyway. If I remember right they killed a young woman that was in her 20's but they left her baby unharmed. They then crashed her car and walked to a farm where they killed a man in his early 60's and also murdered his elderly father who was in his mid to late 80's. They then stole their truck and drove it into southwest Arkansas where they crashed it and walked to a trailer house. They were able to get the guy to give them a ride away from the house and then they killed him. It was a younger man who was in his late twenties to early 30's. But again, why they did this I will never know. I never really understood why they did what they did.

kadrmas15 · 06-29-2006, 06:31 AM

There was this case I was wondering the name of the guy that did it. It was an old UM. It was in Missouri and this guy was dating this girl. Well when they went to college the relationship went sour, and the girl dumped the guy. Well the guy went nuts and eventually he broke into her house at like 5 in the morning and murdered her parents and also stabbed the friend of one of her siblings that was staying over. The guy like went on the run or something but was caught a year or two later when he was profiled on UM. It was in Missouri in 1988 or 1989.

The Story When the mother and her child were out on a canoe trip, she went to urinate in the bushes when 2 men raped her. they took her canoe and tied it to theirs and went canoeing through the area with her and her son. They were forcing her to drink alchohol and one of them raped her a second time in the water right in front of her boy.
