the stories a day old...breaking?
Where was RObert Blake???
Wonderful guns.
Wow, where do I start? This occured about 8 miles where I live to the northwest. Mike and Sandy lived just across the county line in Van Buren, most of them live here in Lee near Mt. Hamill, where the family grain elevator business started. I went to school with all Mike's cousins from out and around there, have known the family for 30+ years.
Mike was the manager of the Donnellson elevator here in town. The guy I ride to work with also works there as a second job, he saw Mike regularly. He's pretty freaked out. The word he got says the kid was pretty heavy into hard drugs.
Don't know what else to say. This just doesn't happen here. We get maybe 1 or 2 murders a year in the area, some years none. I don't think multiple murders like this has ever happened. As tight knit as this area is, I can't begin to convey how much of a shock this is.
Sounds like a family of 6. Sloppy editing.
Terrible.
Some would say these things have always happened and that
it just seems more frequent because of the internet etc..
I disagree.
Evil is increasing.
Prayers for the familes and those affected by this.
Just horrible. May they rest in peace.
seems that the real story is how the son occupied himself (when not killing his family), if guilty.
Living in Quincy, I thought this was sad, but figured this was only local or regional news
