The night he met his violent end, Alan Shalleck, the creator of Curious George children's books, had planned an evening of sex with two men he met through a gay magazine ad, according to a taped confession from Vincent Puglisi, who with co-defendant Rex Ditto is charged with Shalleck's February 2006 slaying.

Got a little too curious.

The night he met his violent end

I don't want to go there...

[17th Miss Regt]

You monkey around too much and ...

[pissant]

Then who is H.A. Reyes?

[wastedyears]

I didn’t even know he was killed, or that he was gay.

[HungarianGypsy]

Thank you for asking. H.A. Reyes I knew of. Alan Shalleck (or what ever his name is) I have never heard of.

[pissant]

Plus, I thought he has been dead for decades.

At least he kept his personal life out of his books, or we would have had “Bi-curious George.”

“Puglisi, an Oakland Park restaurant worker, told investigators that he responded to the ad about a year before he and Ditto arrived at the 76-year-old Shalleck’s Boynton Beach mobile home for the purported three-way tryst. In reality, Puglisi said, Ditto planned to rob and murder Shalleck, who Ditto thought might have money.”

Often those in mobile homes aren’t wealthy.

Stabbed over 100 times isn’t pretty.,

Glad I never supported the homosexual. We never bought Curious George books. I didn’t know the author was gay. When we DO know this, we don’t support them financially.

Bi-Curious George?

[SoKatt]

That was my first thought too- I always thought the books were written by Margret and HA Rey. A pen name, perhaps?

[presidio9]

Then who is H.A. Reyes?

I believe H.A. Reyes was a pen name.

[jdm]

Was there a yellow hat involved?

[ElkGroveDan]

Aw damn, why did they have to tell us that? There goes another bunch of happy childhood memories.

[nmh]

I didn’t either.

The real tragedy is that according to the Bible, the odds are against him being in heaven. It’s unlikely that while being stabbed 100 times he repented but there is the hope that he did repent in time ... .

Man found dead in driveway

[Mystic]

Just googled him and found the explanation in Wikipedia

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_Shalleck

Bought the rights, and produced it for TV and movies

[ElkGroveDan]

The book was created by Hans A. Rey (not Reyes) and his WIFE Margret. Not sure where this homo fits in.

"The real tragedy is that according to the Bible, the odds are against him being in heaven. It’s unlikely that while being stabbed 100 times he repented but there is the hope that he did repent in time ..."

Once again we see that monkey is the root of all evil.
