if this is Shawn's father than FOXNEWS got it very wrong tonight! 2000 isn't much difference and easy to mistake in saying someone died in 1999. One year isn't that big of a jump, but to say he was convicted for a crime in 2002 when clearly he was already dead is bad reporting!

I bet that is him... it matches up with the location in MO

Born in 1931? That's more like a grandfather, wouldn't you think?
