The group left a burning cross on the family's front yard - a tactic synonymous with the Klan - to scare and intimidate them into leaving the area, according to former neighbor Eric Cederquist.

I have no doubt that if a cross was burned in their yard, they did it themselves. They were both mentally ill -and it's pretty clear now that they were paranoid. They moved a second time because they saw a poster from a "right-wing" group.

Also, I noticed that Eric Cederquist was not their neighbor in Minnesota - he was their neighbor in Oregon. His only "knowledge" of the alleged cross burning is what they told him.

I have a feeling we'll be hearing from some of their former neighbors in Minnesota before too many more hours pass, and I doubt they will back up the claims of these two psychotic killers.

Good catch. The article downplayed that part. You'd think that Cederquist was a corroborating witness at first glance.

Yup. There’s NO WAY that a cross burning in Minnesota would not have been front-page news, possibly nationally. Didn’t happen.
