Thomas Knuff, 42, was charged with aggravated murder in the stabbing deaths of 65-year-old John Mann and 50-year-old Regina Capobianco, whose badly decomposed bodies were found in Mann’s home, Parma Heights Police Captain Steve Scharschmidt said.

Mann and Capobianco, who were in a romantic relationship, picked up Knuff from the Lorain Correctional Institution on April 11, marking the first time the three had come face to face, official said.

There are some gals who have a bad-guy addiction.

Sometimes the bad-guys really DO turn out to be bad-guys. Maybe not the wisest thing in the world to cross them into jealousy. Even though, OF COURSE, the crime was heinous.

Having a convict as a pen pal makes as much sense as playing electric guitar plugged in while in the bathtub.

Whatever... pretty stupid to try to get a bad-guy into a threesome. Oh dear greybar hotel romance of my heart... here’s my boyfriend.

Unwise.

From the source: Capobianco met Knuff through a prison pen pal program that connected the pair while they separately served time in prison, police said.and

Knuff had been serving more than 15 years for a myriad of charges, including aggravated robbery with a firearm, safecracking and breaking and entering, officials said. They went on to write each other for about 10 years.

Knuff went back with Capobianco and Mann to Mann’s home on Nelwood Road in Parma Heights, which Scharschmidt said was under foreclosure and had been the target of several drug and prostitution investigations that ultimately yielded no criminal charges.

Brings a little clarity to the incident.

MAN: “Honey? Want to go to the animal shelter and find a dog?”

WOMAN: “No, dear. I’d rather bring home an ex-con.”

MAN: “Oh sure, why not.”

Opens up some other possibilities (and the whole reason that we talk about “allegations” is because it’s easy for even the wonderful authorities to get misled), but ultimately when hell comes calling, it doesn’t need a nice neat package wrapped up with a bow.

Sounds more selfish and illiberal. Get a guy going, then jilt him to his face.

I wonder if they ever, EVER, talked about God.

***There are some gals who have a bad-guy addiction.***

I have read that atheist Madalyn Murray O’Hair loved to have the most vile X-cons around her in Texas. Then they killed her and her family. Strangled them, cut them into pieces, then went to work on the pieces with sledge hammers.

Wonder if her last words were “OH MY GOD!” or “OH MY ME!”

Atheism can go into some strange regions indeed. Regions that only God knows.

Maybe this was God’s shock at the very last moment, before it really WAS too late.

Compassion is great, but remember: the prisoner will say and do anything to get out, to relieve boredom, or to try to get something from you.
