According to Chaffin’s father his son had recently finished homeschooling and was employed at two Tecumseh area restaurants, no history of trouble with the law or running away, described him as a follower not a leader, thinks somebody got him in over his head in something. Father is baffled, distraught, says his heart goes out to the husband and wife who were subjected to an attempted armed invasion, he’s sorry they had to endure that.
The “stolen” truck was to be given to Chaffin on his 18th birthday.
Photo of King is a cell pic taken while disrobed in a bathroom. Can’t think of too many reasons why an 18 year old male would do that.
Impressionable, sheltered 17 year old somehow meets up with an apparently more jaded, worldly 18 year old, and in a fairly short time mayhem and death ensues, with the two making a suicide pact with each other.
Thanks, that makes more sense than the accounts I had read. Often hard to remember how important it is to question news accounts. They are so often extremely distorted, or just flat wrong.
Knowing about OK, I am sure the family feels like you described. Sheltered only works so far, I know from experience. There is a lot of evil in the world.
Based on the info you posted, RC, it seems the two guys may have been gay and in the closet. Might explain the suicide pact...
