Good luck, DF, good luck to all of us.
Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men? Just a fictional character.
But I don't think the media rehashing this over and over and over will find the answer, it is just something that gets people to watch...until the next hot story comes by and people can no longer endure this one.
I trust law enforcement and the legal system to find what can be found, flawed though they may be.
I was listening to a NPR show and a woman called up that had been involved in a horrific slaughter in 1973. I was an adult then and I didn't remember it although 9 people were killed, 5 police officers. How could I have forgotten this?
Seeing the story on TV, Lt. General Chuck Pitman of the United States Marine Corps offered the use of a CH-46 military helicopter to assist the police officers. The helicopter was loaded with armed men and sent up. By this time, Essex had retreated up to the roof of the building where he and the helicopter exchanged many rounds over many hours. As nightfall came, Essex managed to hole himself up in a concrete cubicle that would protect him in the northwest side of the roof. As he stepped out in the open to fire again on the helicopter, and after hitting the helicopter's transmission, Essex was barraged with fatal gunfire from police sharpshooters on the roofs of adjacent buildings as well as the automatic weapons aboard the helicopter. An autopsy later revealed more than 200 gunshot wounds.
