Once, Westberg said Thursday, he listened more intently, curious about what Michele Anderson and Joseph McEnroe were arguing about.

All he heard was Anderson yelling at McEnroe: "You have no job, you have no money, you have no life!"

Westberg's assessment of McEnroe: "total loser."

The couple moved to the property belonging to Michele Anderson's parents near Carnation about a year ago. On Christmas Eve, after years of reportedly feuding over money and other issues, Anderson and McEnroe methodically killed Anderson's father and mother, her brother and sister-in-law and their two young children, according to the King County Sheriff's Department.

As the couple were ordered jailed without bail Thursday, interviews with former neighbors, classmates and family members provided a portrait of a paranoid, unstable pair who acted odd and struggled financially but apparently planned a future together. They blacked out their windows and spoke of people out to get them, but also found jobs and came off as quiet and unassuming to their landlady.

"They said numerous times that they feared for their lives," said Corissa McGehe, another former neighbor. "They felt that they only had each other, that they could only trust each other. There was this paranoia about them."

McEnroe and Anderson, both 29, met five years ago on an online dating site, said McEnroe's mother, Sean Johnson, of Minneapolis. McEnroe was living in Glendale, Ariz., at the time, but soon moved to Washington, intent on marrying Anderson, Johnson said.

"He would come and go all night long," Westberg said. "He'd leave ... and be back in 15 minutes."

Things that make you go "hmmmm."

It makes me ill to think of these two kids who should be enjoying Christmas treasures with their family. I cannot
imagine the fear they must have experienced. How tragic.

Hey - don’t be so hard on the guy. The headline in the local paper has him saying (in bold):

“I’m sorry that they’re gone”.

(Can’t say I’ll be sorry when he’s gone.)

I work with a total weirdo who does dungeons and dragons and met her boyfriend at a DD club. She won’t work on Thursdays because she has a standing online DD play date. I consider her a social retard.
