Really OT: My wife's cousin was killed last week as part of a trip
« on: July 22, 2006, 04:50:50 PM »
i know this is really off topic but this is one of those things you think will never happen to you.  

My wife's cousin was in the wrong place at the wrong time this week when a jealous boyfriend shot his ex-girlfriend and her new boyfriend and, I guess, all the witnesses to the event which included her. Three people were killed, and  some of those were knifed before being shot.

He shot a fourth person and left him for dead, but, he wasn't, and thanks to his having a cell phone, he was able to call for help and identify the killer. If he hadn't had his cell phone on him, he probably wouldn't have been found until harvest time in September, as he was in a corn field.

The killer is currently on the run right now, and may possibly be in Oregon.  Here's more on my blog:

Americans can watch "America's Most Wanted" TV show at 9 PM Eastern on the Fox Network, Saturday night as the story will be featured on it.

Please keep our family in your prayers.

Oh my gosh. I'm so sorry.

I will most certainly keep your family in my prayers, and I'll be praying they catch the killer as well.

Is there a picture of him anywhere?

I watched the "America's Most Wanted" TV show, and coverage of the story was quite limited, it was in the "15 seconds of shame" segment.

The local Fox affiliate, in the local news that followed AMW, said that a more detailed segment would be on the show next week.

Thanks to all for the condolences.

I have been on the edge of two different acts of senseless violence and all I can bring to it is that the people who will do this aren't like most of us and all we can do is try to support and help each other if only by being normal caring human beings!  Sorry for your loss and my prayers are for the survivor and the families of those who didn't!
