He is 34 and she was 19.
A man from Berks County, Pennsylvania snapped his girlfriend’s neck and poked her eyes out after she rejected his marriage proposal on Halloween. According to NBC10, Christopher R. Tucker, 34, asked 19-year-old Tara Serino to marry him at his home. The teen rejected his offer, and allegedly told him she was sleeping with other men. She also reportedly made an “off-hand comment” that Tucker should kill her.
Then, Tucker allegedly began choking Serino until he thought she was dead. According to NBC10, he told police he then poked out her eyes and snapped her neck before beating her with a hatchet. A 25-pound weight plate was also used to kill Serino, according to KCCI. He then wrapped his girlfriend in a rug and fled to Illinois. Police in Champaign County, Illinois, found Tucker at a truck stop, where he attempted to break into a farmer's combine. According to Lehigh Valley Live, he was behaving strangely and not making sense. Tucker was taken to a nearby hospital for an evaluation. He later allegedly confessed to killing Serino. Police said Serino’s injuries are consistent with Tucker’s confession.
Now, he’s being charged with murder and criminal homicide. It is unclear if Tucker has an attorney at this time. He is awaiting extradition back to Pennsylvania.
Serino’s obituary reads, “She was generous and caring, artistic and open-minded, and had a positive outlook on life. Tara loved to be surrounded by nature, which inspired her passion for photography, especially of the earth and sky. She is loved more than words can express and will be dearly missed by everyone who had the pleasure of knowing her. Tara will live on in our hearts forever.”
And where are the parents??
Just terrible for her and her poor family left behind. The dude needs some serious justice brought down on him.
He makes Charles Manson look normal. Too bad for her. She was a pretty girl.
Jeez. A major misreading of character by this beautiful young woman.
[he was acting strangely and not making sense]
No way!! Has he considered a political career with the Democratic Party?
Uh...let me guess...drugs were involved...
Well, that certainly will teach any other future girlfriend not to reject his proposal.
In related news, back in 2015 Pennsylvania’s Governor Tom Wolf put a hold on capital punishment. The law is still on the books, but Wolf will not enforce it.
“behaving strangely”
Alas, one cannot kill a LOSER like this PAINFULLY enough! That poor, poor girl.
My guess is that she thought that hanging out with “bad boy” types was exciting, and too late discovered that there was a reason that fathers throughout history discouraged daughters from dating bad boys.
Proposing on Halloween? Combine that with what’s radiating from that photo of the guy and I have a strong suspicion that they both were more than just dabbling in occult.
"...and where are the parents?..."
wow, talk about rejection issues...
It seems there’s more evil in the country... demons are getting frantic.
....lovely girl. Who just happened to be sleeping with other men...she ...sadly...found out that variety aint ALWAYS the spice of life....lamentable..
Saw the photos and the image of “Bob” and Laura Palmer came to mind.
I say change the venue of the trial to Texas. Use the excuse that he crossed state lines with evidence of the crime to make it federal.
Yeah, I know that won’t fly, but this creep needs to be put down like the dog that he is.
I think you’re the winner of the thread.
Reminds me of Tracy Jo Shine.
