I don’t even know where to start on this guy.

Oh. My. God.

This does make the story more tragic. Somehow the ex should have to be punished. She is sort of responsible for this as well, but then I’m sure others would say, he may still have done it if she did tell the current girlfriend. Now we will never know the outcome had she told.

On Monday afternoon, Covington’s father told the Times his son was an “ordinary person.”

A Tampa police report, however, outlines accusations that he mutilated and killed three cats, smashing one’s skull.

In January 2005, Tampa police went to his home after receiving a worried call from his father.

Officers found Edward Covington on the living room floor. “I don’t want to die like this,” he told them, crying, a police report said. He was taken to St. Joseph’s Hospital under the Baker Act.

In his kitchen, police wrote, they found three dead cats that “appeared to be mutilated.” He was never prosecuted. Prosecutors would not comment, and Covington’s family declined to discuss the incident.

From the ex wife:

“”He told me that he did not want to be with her,” the ex-wife said. “That he was trying to get rid of them and he didn’t know how.”

Boy, he must have really misheard that Paul Simon song. The lyric was “just drop off the key, Lee” NOT “just chop off their heads, Ed”.

He looks like a big motherfucker in the video. It’s a shame Lisa took so much care with the kids’ clothes and education if she was just going to bring some demon from hell into their lives. She could have saved herself the effort.

especially with her being so “scared”? It sounds like she was competing with the girlfriend in some way? Something sounds wrong with this

Right. I know I’d be jumping up and down to be chummy with the fucker that broke my wrists and ribs. Shoot – I was never friendly with an ex that even so much a cheated on me. I believe that the ex-wife could have done something before this “murder” occurred. I hope she can sleep at night…..

HE DIDN’T KNOW HOW? YOU SAY GOODBYE-WHAT A PEICE OF SHIT

Exactly. There is so much wrong with this story I don’t even know where to start. I know this is a stupid question, but what makes people do this? By “this” I mean mutilating and murdering innocent people for no apparant reason, other than rage. What makes a person so insane, so crazy, that they can carry this out? For what? Was he born with some horrific defect in his brain? Did his parents torture him as a child? Someone tell me how someone could do this?

“”He told me that he did not want to be with her,” the ex-wife said. “That he was trying to get rid of them and he didn’t know how.”

Then Sunday morning Covington left her a message that got her attention.

“To call him,” she said. “That he really needed to talk to me and he was in really big trouble.”

Hope the link works.

1) There was also molestation – whether it was ongoing or immediately prior was not divulged.

2) There was cannibalism.

These may be totally out of left field. But both of them claimed to have some source.
