Person Of Interest In Triple Murder Found Shot To Death

Morbid — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 18:37:46 +0000

MILWAUKEE, Wis. – Here’s a story I started on but before I could even finish writing it up, more info came out and the entire thing got even more bizarre. On Friday, firefighters responded to a small house fire and found the bodies of 24-year-old Rachel Thompson and her two sons, four-year-old Torian Thompson Carter, and three-year-old Jaden Thompson Carter. Thompson’s 6-week-old Maurice Visor was missing. Now what started as a triple homicide investigation has turned into a quadruple homicide investigation. But the fourth body was not that of Visor as he was found safely inside his car seat outside of a north side church. The body was of 19-year-old Brittany Robertson who was found shot to death. Police say she is not only a victim, but also played a role in the three murders. “These homicides are the result of a small group of interconnected people known to each other none of these events were random acts,” said Police Chief Ed Flynn.

I’ll try to keep this updated, but I am a very important man and today has been particularly busy.

Teen Girl Set House Fire That Almost Killed Her Family

Morbid — Wed, 17 Feb 2010 15:35:04 +0000

Louisville, Kentucky – Police say that at around 3 a.m. last Thursday, a 14-year-old girl started a fire in the basement of her family’s home before running away. Her two siblings, a 19-year-old sister and 16-year-old brother, became trapped inside their basement bedrooms and tried calling their mother with their cell phones. Firefighters were able to pull the two teens out of the burning home and they were admitted to the hospital. The boy was recently released from the hospital, but the sister is still being treated and listed in fair condition. The girl’s parents and their 1-year-old grandson made it out of the home with no injuries. Police report that the teen was angry at her family and that is why she set the fire in the laundry room. She has not been arrested yet, but will likely be charged with arson, theft and two counts of assault and attempted murder.

This is some video I found when they were ruling the fire arson, but had not reported it was actually the 14-year-old daughter who had set the fire and reminds morons people that most basements only have one way in or out and that it might be a good idea to install a smoke detector if you have not already.

Sucks for those parents. I mean, how can you even deal with a son or daughter that just tried to kill you? I’m so used to people being pissed at me on a daily basis that I would probably be less surprised at the motive, and more upset about the damage that was caused to the house.

Manhunt On For Man Who Murdered 8 People In Virginia

Morbid — Wed, 20 Jan 2010 12:46:06 +0000

APPOMATTOX, Virginia – Virginia State Police are hunting for 39-year-old Christopher Speight of Appomattox. They say he shot and killed people Tuesday afternoon. The shooting began just before 1 p.m. Tuesday afternoon. Three of the eight fatalities were inside a home and four were found dead outside the same home. An eighth victim found in the middle of the street outside the residence. The identities of the victims have not been released, but police did say victims were both male and female. The manhunt includes canine units and helicopters and this dude is fucking NUTS. “During the course of the search Tuesday afternoon, a State Police helicopter was shot by the suspect,” a State Police statement said. “The helicopter was struck at least four times” and “was able to make an emergency landing in a field near the scene.”

All of this began when a 911 call came in about a body lying in the middle of the road. When officers arrived, they heard shooting nearby. That’s when the other victims were found. The hunt for the suspect was scaled down Tuesday night and is to resume today as the danger to troopers was too great to aggressively pursue the suspect in the darkness. Which I agree with…I mean the guy just killed eight people and a helicopter. Some homes have been evacuated and local schools have been closed as the search continues.

Police are searching for a green 1996 Ford F-150 pickup and a tan 1997 Ford Escort. Anyone with information is asked to call the Virginia State Police Appomattox Division at 434-352-3419 or the Appomattox County Sheriff’s Office at 434-352-8251.

And here is the press conference from last night:

Children Left To Burn After Dad Shoots Himself And Mom

DeliaTheArtist — Mon, 18 Jan 2010 12:44:53 +0000

PORTERVILLE, CA – Firefighters pulled three children, ages 6, 5 and 2, out of a third floor apartment this weekend as smoke came “pouring out” of the door from food that had been left on the stove. You might be asking yourself “Where are the damn parents?”- They were lying on the floor of the apartment, dead from gunshot wounds to the head. Details are vague as to what exactly happened, but police have ruled the incident a “murder-suicide”; Michael Vasquez, 26, apparently shot his wife and mother of his children, Cheanna Sidhu, 24, directly in the head after an argument. The single gunshot killed her instantly, and Michael turned the weapon on himself. The couple had just recently moved into the Porterville Family Apartments with their three children; officials at the apartment complex declined to be interviewed but neighbors claim that despite one incident of yelling, the couple was rarely heard fighting. This has made it difficult for police to understand a motive for this seemingly impulsive crime. The kids were taken to Sierra View District Hospital, where they were ruled to be in good condition (physically, psychological concerns might be a different story!) and are now in the hands of Tulare County Child Welfare Services.

Thanks To AMW, Paul Michael Merhige Has Been Captured

Morbid — Mon, 04 Jan 2010 08:02:15 +0000

LONG KEY, Florida – Police have been looking for Paul Michael Merhige, 35, after shooting four of his family members to death during a Thanksgiving gathering. Killed were Merhige’s 6-year-old cousin, Makayla Sitton, his twin sisters, Carla Merhige and Lisa Knight, 33, and an aunt, Raymonde Joseph, 76. Merhige’s brother-in-law Patrick Knight and Clifford Gebara, 52, were wounded. America’s Most Wanted had featured him already, but this past Saturday someone saw a promo piece for that night’s upcoming episode – an episode featuring Merhige. The man was Paul Pfaff, co-owner of the Edgewater Lodge on Long Key and he recognized Merhige as the man who checked into their remote motel on Dec 2nd and had been living as a hermit there ever since. They called AMW with their information and within hours, police were busting into Merhige’s room. He was tased and taken without incident. He had altered his appearance and his room contained a noose and three tanks of helium hooked up to a plastic bag. He is being held in isolation in the mental health unit of the Palm Beach County Jail, awaiting his Feb 1st court appearance. He was ordered held without bond, accused of four counts of murder and two counts of attempted murder. Good job, AMW and Paul Pfaff. I watched that episode Sunday, and what this man did was absolutely heinous.

Thomas Mangiantini Killed His Family, Then Himself

Addison, Illinois – On Wednesday morning, 911 received a call from a woman who was asking for help. “It was just a few short words. It was something to the effect of, ‘Please help me. Help me, help me,’ ” Addison Police Chief Tim Hayden. Dispatchers could hear gunshots in the background. When police forced their way into the home, they found Elizabeth Mangiantin, 48, dead downstairs in a hallway and her husband and two sons dead upstairs. Turns out Thomas Mangiantini, 48, shot himself in the head after shooting his wife, Elizabeth, 46, once in the head his son Thomas Jr., 8, once in the head, and hos other son, Angelo, 12, multiple times in the head. The two boys were both found in the bedroom they shared. There was a note left at the scene, and while police have not disclosed its contents, they did say it did not allude to financial or marital problems.

Husband Kills Kids And Himself While Wife Is In Shower

Morbid — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 18:25:43 +0000

FLEMING ISLAND, Florida - When Dana Whitelaw, 47, got out of the shower Tuesday morning, she found her entire family dead. Her husband, Jerry Whitelaw, 49, had shot their two children — 16-year-old son, Kevin, and 11-year-old daughter, Katy — while they slept. He then turned the gun on himself. Court records show that Dana had filed for divorce in late August after 16 years of marriage, but continued to live together during the process. Police have no records of ever having to go to their residence in the past. Kevin was a junior at St. Johns Country Day in Orange Par, Katie attended Grace Episcopal. I think what makes this particular murder-suicide is the blatant purpose behind it. Jerry wanted Dana to live after this, knowing it was the best possible way to hurt her. Kill her kids, then let her live with that fact. Absolutely horrifying in its cold-blooded callousness. I can not possibly imagine anything my wife could do to me that could have me killing my own kids to get back at her. That is signs of one very, very selfish man – or one that is extremely mentally disturbed.

Police: Timothy Chester Hated Parents, Victor Veliz Killed Them

Morbid — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 04:50:29 +0000

Las Vegas, Nevada – Tom and Carla Chester were found dead in their Heritage Village mobile home on Wednesday by their 22-year-old daughter. 57-year-old Tom had been shot in the head, 51-year-old Carla had been shot and stabbed in the neck. Their Dodge Journey was missing and before long, their 18-year-old son, Timothy Chester, was named a suspect. At around 6 p.m., the mother of 18-year-old Victor Veliz called 911 informing them that her son had just admitted to killing the couple at the request of Timothy, his best friend. Timothy was apprehended on Thursday morning near the Hoover dam and now that both are in custody, the details on what happened that Wednesday afternoon, and how much worse it could have been, are chilling.

Tom Chester

Timothy and Victor became friends some time after Victor moved to Vegas from California six years ago. Victor had few friends because he felt that he scared most people. But not Timothy Chester. He and Timothy formed a friendship that included spending a lot of time playing online games – and according to Victor, listening to Timothy talk about how much he hated his parents and wanted to kill them. According to Timothy, a pact was made in which Victor would kill Timothy’s parents and then Timothy would return the favor and kill Victor’s. This all came together following an argument Timothy had with his family earlier this week regarding responsibility. The plan was for Timothy’s entire family to be killed, including his sister and brother-in-law. Of course nothing ever goes exactly as planned, but from what I can gather from the source links, this is what happened on Wednesday.

About 9 a.m. on Wednesday, Thomas Chester took his son to a nearby high school to get his transcripts and then dropped him off at Victor’s house. At noon, Timothy and Victor walked back to Timothy’s parent’s mobile home. During this walk, Timothy handed Victor a gun that was taken from his father’s safe. When they got there, Timothy’s mother was asleep on the couch in the living room and his father was in the kitchen. Timothy and Victor went into Timothy’s bedroom after briefly speaking with Timothy’s father.

Carla Chester

Victor states that once in the bedroom he tried giving the gun back to Timothy and told him to put it back in the safe. Timothy then handed the gun back to Victor and told him if he didn’t do it, he would shoot him instead. The two left the bedroom and Victor shot Tom as he stood next to the front door. After being shot, Tom then tried to run into the master bedroom, but his own son got to the room ahead of him and prevented him from entering.

Timothy then retrieved a semi-automatic pistol from a bedroom closet and loaded it. When he left the bedroom, he saw his father lying on the floor behind the couch. Carla, who was physically disabled, stood up and began screaming. Timothy, being the greasy fucking pussy he is, ran out of the trailer taking the keys to his parent’s SUV leaving Victor behind in the trailer.

Victor allegedly shot Carla at some point during this time and then used a kitchen knife to stab her in the throat. He stated that he heard a horn blowing outside, and after washing up in the kitchen sink he walked outside and Timothy, along with the SUV, were gone – I guess ending the plan they had to flee to California and then Guatemala. Victor walked home and informed his mother of what he had done and asked her to call police for him. he denied that there was any pact as Timothy stated during his talk with police, but did add that the rest of Timothy’s family should be worried as Timothy wanted them dead as well. He added that Timothy was smarter than he looked.

Neighbors said that the couple were well liked and “pillars of the community” and that “they were the first to help, to organize events…always there at the ready.” “She was a character,” neighbor Garrianne Sage said of Carla Chester. “She didn’t deserve it. She didn’t deserve it at all.” They also commented that Timothy was a quiet guy who kept his head down when he walked the neighborhood, but that he did help out other neighbors and was great with his nephews. Victor’s mother has declined to talk to any news agencies at this point.

Both teens were booked into the Clark County Detention Center on two counts each of murder with a deadly weapon, and conspiracy to commit murder. They also face one count each of burglary for their involvement in the double slaying. Timothy Chester was charged with an additional count of robbery with a deadly weapon. Here is some video of Victor Veliz talking to a reporter from behind bars.

Charles Dalton Killed His Entire Family

Morbid — Mon, 28 Sep 2009 12:51:15 +0000

MOUNT AIRY, Maryland – A family of four were found dead in their home on Friday. Charles L. Dalton Sr., 38, killed himself, his family and the family dog. Dalton’s wife, Jennifer A. Dalton, 37, was found dead in her bed. Their son, Charles L. Dalton Jr., 14, and their daughter, Emmaline E. Dalton, 7 were also found dead in their beds. The family pet, a beagle named Max, was found dead in an animal crate. All had been shot to death with the same shotgun Charles Dalton used to kill himself with. They were described as nice and religious, Dalton a self-employed carpenter and maintenance worker for Montgomery County schools. Financial difficulties seem to be part of the reason behind Charles’s actions – it’s being reported that the family was having problems selling their house.

State police have closed the investigation while friends and neighbors are in shock. The bodies were discovered after co-workers failed to reach Jennifer when she did not show up for work at her part-time job at a veterinary hospital. A friend went to the house to check on the family on Friday and saw a body through a window.

Beason, Illinois – I wasn’t going to post this as everyone is already covering it and we already had an asshole who killed his family this week. But since they have not arrested anyone and are still asking for tips, what the hell. Raymond “Rick” Gee, 46, his wife, Ruth Gee, 39, and three of their children, Justina Constant, 16, Dillen Constant, 14, and Austin Gee, 11, were found dead Monday afternoon in their home. 3-year-old Tabitha Gee, remains in critical but stable condition at a Peoria hospital.

Mesac Damas’ Wife And Five Children Found Dead In Home

Morbid — Mon, 21 Sep 2009 04:30:06 +0000

Naples, Florida – While performing a welfare check on Saturday, detectives found the murdered bodies of Guerline Damas, 32, and her children Michzach, 9, Marven, 6, Maven, 5, Megan, 3 and Morgan, who would have been a year old next week. The one person not located was Mesac Dumas, 33. He is now a person of interest in the murder of his wife and five children. Investigators located his car at the Miami International airprt and believe he is now in Haiti, where he has family. It is being reported that Mesac Damas was charged with domestic battery charges back in January. You can read the report here. (warning – it’s a PDF) The problem police face now is that the Haiti government will not extradite Damas unless it is proven, without a doubt, that Damas committed the crime. Something that has not been done yet. Pics and video after the jump.

Dunno who killed this family but unless Mesac has a very convincing story of some Haiti gang members who murdered his family and now he is on some Charles Bronson Death Wish type mission, things are looking pretty obvious, especially since police have been to their home on multiple occasions for domestic violence related calls. Hearing the deputy in the video state that this is the “most horrific, most violent event this community has ever experienced” has my brain reeling at what the hell the murder did to this family.

Michael Miller: “I Just Killed My Family”

Jaded — Mon, 01 Jun 2009 10:15:57 +0000

Glendale, Arizona–Michael Miller called 911 early Saturday morning with a chilling confession: “I just killed my family.” When officers arrived at the residence, Miller was waiting for them outside. He told them that several people inside the house were injured. Inside the home, police discovered Miller’s wife, Adreana, 28, and his 10-year-old daughter had both been stabbed to death. His 4-year-old son had also been stabbed, but was still alive.

Michael Miller

Though authorities don’t yet know the motive behind the murders, it is suspected that Miller ’snapped’ in the middle of an altercation with his wife and started gettin’ all stabby on everyone. The 4-year-old child spent most of Saturday in surgery and is in critical but stable condition. He is being cared for by other relatives who live in the area.

Michael Miller, 29, is expected to be charged with two counts of first-degree murder and one count of attempted murder. This isn’t Miller’s first brush with the law…court records show he was arrested on suspicion of domestic violence in 2004 and disorderly conduct in 2008, but charges in both instances were later dismissed.

Amado Esqueda Excels at Baby Killing, Fails at Suicide

Rotten Apple — Wed, 13 May 2009 16:35:22 +0000

Corona, CA – Once again, we have a story of a selfish asshole who wanted to off himself and take his family with him. And of course, once again he succeeds at murdering his babies and only injuring himself. They have no motive at this time, but it is said that Amado Esqueda and his wife had separated shortly before he completely lost his shit and went on a stabbing rampage killing his two young daughters, seriously injuring his wife and injuring himself.

Amado Esqueda

Around 6:30 AM on Saturday morning, Irene Gonzales called 911 to report that her husband was stabbing her and her children. 6 year old Cassandra and 2 month old Natalie both died of multiple stab wounds at the hospital. Gonzales remains in serious condition, and Esqueda is in the hospital ward at the jail with stab wounds. Esqueda also had 2 teenage children who were not home at the time.

Neighbors say this was a nice normal family that set off no red flags. They never heard any arguments or witnessed any conflict. Esqueda had no prior arrests, and court records only show a one traffic ticket in 2007. So what made this man snap? I don’t know, but someone who could stab his own 2 month old and kindergartner to death over some marital problems doesn’t deserve to be breathing the same air as the rest of us. He now faces the death penalty, but with the way the economy is, I’m thinking it wouldn’t be so bad if suicide watch was a little lax and the supply of strong bedsheets were abundant. The taxpayers could use a break.

Things Not Looking Good For Christopher Coleman

Morbid — Wed, 13 May 2009 13:25:19 +0000

COLUMBIA, Illinois - Christopher Coleman is the man whose family was found dead in their home on May 5th. Coleman claimed to have been at a local gym when he called for a wellness check after not being able to contact his wife. Police found Sheri Coleman, 31 dead along with her two boys, Garett, 11, and Gavin, 9. They had all been strangled to death. Since then, it has come to light that Coleman had some trim on the side and now he has given his fingerprints to police.Anyone want to take a guess on when they charge this guy?

Police had already stated that they had no suspects, although they believe the family was targeted. Early on it was reported that the family had recieved death threats in the mail in relation to Coleman’s job as chief of security for Joyce Meyer Ministries, a worldwide television evangelist organization based in Jefferson County. A police source has leaked that someone apparently wrote “I told you this would happen” on a wall inside the home. Anyone else thinking this sounds like an episode of Forensic Files?

The alleged girlfriend has been interviewed by detectives and is being reported as an acquaintance of Sheri Coleman who both graduated from the same high school. Public records say she worked in a bar and as a hostess for a gentlemen’s club in Tampa. She recently divorced from her husband in 2004, although bought a condo with him in 2006.

So let’s see what we got here. A family murdered. Shady threats to the family directed towards Coleman and his work for a televangelist. An ominous message left on the wall of the home, a stripper girlfriend no one knew about, a delay of body burial for the three victims and a request for fingerprints from Coleman. Obviously, this all could be just coincidence mixed with standard police work. But I don’t know…something smells mighty fishy…and I swear, the false death threats by mail proceeding a murder has been done before – I am positive on that.

But whoever was able to strangle those two boys is a monster of major proportions.
