Sounds like he was on another level of crazy. I can't believe he took all their lives. That's sad.
I lived in Russellville at the time. I remember being at work that day, watching all the police cars flying by, wondering wtf was going on. That guy was truly a monster.

@@InfamousCrimeLocations Yeah , it was pretty crazy. Had a long driveway with stacked rocks , i remember the Christmas tree , blood in the living room carpet and in the corner of a bedroom closet . For some reason there was a small grouping of bullett holes in the celing of the living room that i recall my Dad pointing out. The whole house was still full of stuff , and everything was kinda scattered around like maybe other people had already been there poking around. The holes were dug cady corner off towards the back of house . It was pretty horrible, even as a kid i understood that. The things humans are capable of is nothing shy of evil. God bless , to you and yours.

But I was a kid then, He killed the Kendrick lady because the attorney he really wanted to kill wasn’t their at the time so he killed her the secretary!

The adult children didn’t come around anymore and moved far from him but finally their mother decided she was ready to leave that monster and all her kids were afraid if she was left alone she would change her mind so they decided to go for Christmas as a United front to give the mother support, the monster knew they were coming and knew this was his only chance to kill all of them, personally the adult kids should not have brought their children at least they would be alive.
