Our local news just announced that they had arrested a suspect in a double murder of a husband and wife from the early autumn...the couple, from Grant County, Kentucky, were the close family friends of our new law associate at my office. The case was pretty strange in that there was no forced entry, and the couple were shot point blank in their gun room, downstairs in a basement family area where only someone who had been in the house would know of...there were 3 sons, only one who lived at home. I immediately suspected something "afoot" and much to my chagrin, they just indicted the youngest son (22) for killing both of his parents. A motive is not known, but gosh, I am really hate to see the face of our law associate tomorrow--what do you say? He was so defiant that none of the children would be involved because he was best friends with the two oldes boys...the girl was married and lived in the West. His father, and this gentleman were both doctors and close friends, so each family sortof meshed.
Whew. It's sad to know that this is ACTUALLY what happened. Sometimes I hate when my gut is right.

Wow, Jonni, that is too much.  There are other murders like this and it's really sad to know that people would kill their own family members. I can imagine, it really hitting close to home.
I knew someone once, in Panama City FL, actually WORKED for her, as a dance instructor (she owned a dance school) and then came to find out 5 or so years later, she was murdered in a case that went national. A couple that she was working for killed her, stuffed her in the trunk, and then drove the car out into the desert (at that time, she had moved to California) and tried to set it on fire. It was just shocking...I really wonder, sometimes, what goes on in the minds of people!

Thanks, Miss Wilma...oddly enough, I almost asked him today if he'd heard any more news about the case. It's been sortof "silent" for months and that's never good, ya know. Always seems like they circle the wagons around someone when they're quiet. Ugh. Now I just have to figure out how to not put my foot in my mouth.

| That's so sad. It's terrible when someone you know turns out to be capable of such a thing. Makes you question everything. I really feel sorry for your law associate, and the other family members must be devastated. |

I'll never understand things like this, Jonni. Last week, a 36 year old woman who lived in a nice house in a nice neighborhood and was enrolled full time at the University of Louisville working on a counseling degree, shot her children in their beds(she used a shotgun, so even though the news media says 'as they slept', one of them had to be awakend by the blast and saw it coming - the guy across the street knew it was a shotgun blast). Then she drove to UL and took a poor woman working in the Health Center hostage. Fortunately, the woman wasn't hurt. UL was on lockdown for a while. The poor kids were only 14 and 10. She had been a widow for 10 years and no one saw this coming. It just makes you sad and sorrowful. The poor guy in your office must be devasted - maybe he just couldn't stand to think about the possibility.

I hear about that, Janice...my boss's daughter attends U of L and he was very tense until he had heard there was resolution. Wonder what happened to her, you know? I fear, in this economy, that we will see more and more of those types of things happening--desperation...this, I think is different. Apparently, a month before the shooting, he had forged a very large check on his parent's account, but surely that wasn't enough to kill them over. I feel for our law associate....I'm sure you're right, Janice. Who would want to believe these things about someone they know so well (or thought they did).

Jonni, I've been hearing about that on the news. It's very sad, and then last night there was a murder/suicide in Garrard County, Kentucky. Janice, I heard about that one in Louisville too. It all just doesn't make sense and is terrible. Sometimes I don't like turning on the news in the morning.
