The Wichita Horror: 20th Anniversary
Frontpagemagazine ^ | Dec 18, 2020 | Jack Kerwick

Posted on 12/18/2020 7:50:55 AM PST by SJackson

Remembering the victims of the most heinous of racial crimes.

In the era of Black Lives Matter when, as the indefatigable Colin Flaherty terms it, “the greatest lie of our generation”—the Big Lie that black people “are relentless victims of relentless white racism, everywhere, always, that explains everything”—has reached a fever-pitch, we would be well-served to revisit an event that BLM and its apologists would undoubtedly prefer we not talk about.

The event is actually not just a crime, but a series of crimes so grisly, so literally monstrous, that it has come to be called, “the Wichita Massacre,” or “the Wichita Horror.”

This month marks its 20th anniversary.

In 2000, within the course of one week, two brothers, Reginald and Jonathan Carr, went on a rampage. Originally from Dodge City, they had just arrived at Wichita (Kansas) when they proceeded to victimize its residents. By week’s end, among their seven prey, five of them—and a victim’s dog—would be dead.

But it’s much worse than this brief description would suggest.

And, before we delve into the ugly details, it is also worth noting that the perpetrators of the Wichita Horror were black. Their victims were all white.

The Carrs’ first victim was 23 year-old Andrew Schreiber. The latter stopped off at a convenience store when the Carrs forced their way into his car and forced him to drive around town while stopping at various ATM machines. Schreiber was eventually made to drive to a field where his captors pistol-whipped him and shot out one of his tires before driving off in another vehicle.

Andrew at least lived. The same could not be said for Ann Walenta, a librarian and cellist in her 50s. Four days after Schreiber was carjacked, abducted, assaulted, and robbed, the two scumbags who attacked him targeted Walenta as she sat parked in her own driveway. The Carrs were looking to commandeer SUVs while forcing their owners to drive to ATM machines. Walenta drove an SUV. When the Carrs approached her, being suspicious of their intentions, Walenta rolled her window down just slightly. Unfortunately, though, it was just enough for them to insert a gun into the opening and blast her multiple times as she tried to drive off.

The attack left her paralyzed from the neck down. Three weeks later, she would die from her injuries—but not before she was able to help the police identify her assailants.

The Carrs’ reign of terror would reach its climax three days later in what can only be described as a series of acts of unadulterated evil.

Jason Befort, a 26 year-old high school science teacher and coach, Bradley Heyka, a 27 year-old financial analyst, and 29 year-old Aaron Sander, who was preparing to enter the priesthood, shared a home. A woman who, for her own protection and for the sake of her own privacy, remains publicly known only as “Holly,” an elementary school teacher, was Befort’s girlfriend. She and her friend Heather Muller, a church pre-school teacher, were staying over.

Shortly after 11:00 PM, the Carr brothers somehow manipulated their way into the home. Armed with guns, they corralled all five of its inhabitants into a bedroom closet—but not before commanding them to remove all of their clothes. Then, over a span of the next couple of hours, hell was unleashed as the Carrs took turns raping Holly and Heather and forcing their victims to perform sexual acts upon one another.

Holly and Heather were forced to digitally and orally penetrate one another. Jason was ordered to have sex with Holly, but when the Carrs discovered that they were a couple, they were made to stop and Brad Heyka and Aaron Sander were assigned the task. Sander’s initial refusal to comply was met with the butt of a pistol to the back of his head.

Holly was sent back to the closet and Heather was brought forth so that Sander could have sex with her. When he couldn’t get an erection, the Carrs beat him with a golf club. They then warned him that if he couldn’t get erect within the next two minutes, that they were going to kill him. Time passed and Sander, evidently unable to get aroused with a gun to his head, was nevertheless not killed.

At least he wasn’t killed at that moment.

During the midst of this ordeal, one Carr brother would drive their prey to the bank while the other would stay behind and sexually torment the others.

They also rummaged around throughout the house looking for money. In doing so, they discovered a diamond ring.

It was the ring that Jason Befort was planning on giving to Holly when he proposed to her the following Friday night. “That’s for you,” he told Holly. “I was going to ask you to marry me.”

The Carrs decided that they were going to end the evening by taking their victims for a ride. Upon realizing that the trunk of Sander’s Honda Accord wasn’t sufficiently spacious to accommodate five people, they chose instead to squeeze the three men into it. Jonathan Carr would drive the Honda with Heather Muller as his passenger, and Reginald Carr would drive Jason Befort’s truck with Holly by his side.

They arrived at a barren field. In freezing cold temperatures, in the snow and ice, the Carrs made their victims, all of whom were barely dressed, to get down on their knees. Then, as the shivering, traumatized five pleaded for their lives, the Carrs shot them, one at a time, in the backs of their heads.

The monsters weren’t done. They jumped into Befort’s truck and drove over the bodies of the three men and two women who they just disposed of like so much trash.

Four of the five died. Holly, however, survived. What neither she nor the Carrs counted on was her plastic barrette deflecting the bullet to another location of her skull.

Holly felt herself get shot and subsequently kicked over by the shooter. She played dead and actually felt the truck hit her body too.

After she noticed that the Carrs had left, she took off her sweater and tried to stop the profuse bleeding that was coming out of Jason Befort’s eyes. She walked about a mile, mostly naked, to get help. Upon reaching a random house, she begged its residents to allow her in and hear her account of the three hour nightmare that she and her friends had just been made to endure.

Holly, you see, suspected that she may die and wanted to make sure that someone knew what had happened so that her tormentors would not evade justice. She also asked for these kind strangers to make sure that her mother knew that she loved her (and all the while, Holly expressed worry over her “kids,” her students, and who would take care of them if she died).

Holly did not die. Ann Walenta did, but both of these brave, resilient women, together, were able to arrange for the Carrs to be apprehended, arrested, tried, and, ultimately, sentenced to death.

Had Holly been a black woman who suffered this fate at the hands of white men, she would be celebrated the world over by the very same people who continually decry “racism” and shout “Me Too!” There would have long ago been a statue erected in her honor and no small number of documentaries and films would have been made with an eye toward implicating all whites by depicting this one heinous act as of piece of patter of “systemic racism,” or something along these lines.

Oh, and so too would the Carr brothers be recognized as the demons that they are by PETA and the like had they been white males, for after they thought that they had done away with their victims, they returned to their victims’ home to look around one last time for things to steal. Nikki, Holly’s pet schnauzer, was there to greet them. Either because these idiots thought that dogs could be potential witnesses to a crime or because they are just that wicked, the Carrs bludgeoned Nikki to a bloody pulp with a golf club and possibly stabbed her with an ice pick.

Although we can’t expect for anyone who expresses sympathy with the Black Lives Matter movement to remember any of Reginald and Jonathan Carr’s victims on this 20th anniversary of the Wichita Horror, the decent can…say their names:

Andrew Schreiber.

Say his name.

Ann Walenta.

Say her name.

Jason Befort, Brad Heyka, Heather Muller, Aaron Sander, the indomitable Holly.

Say their names.

Not completely sure of the status of the case today. Convicted and sentenced to death, their death sentences were overturned. In 2016 the USSC reinstated their death penalties. As of a year or so ago they were on death row and appealing in the state system. In some states today, had all their victims lived, they'd probably be released on no or low bond. Dem politicians staff would raise the bond for them if necessary.

Another one of those cases that had the races been reversed it would still be talked about on the MSM.

If this had happened in California it would take 40 years or more to execute them. Taxpayers meanwhile would pay out millions for their endless appeals.
The justice system is completely broken here. There is no justice, and now Los Angeles has a new radical D.A. who is busily releasing dangerous criminals left and right. I’m considering Texas or Oklahoma as my next place of residence, and soon.

I remember this story made YUGE headlines in all the major "NEWS" publications, also led the nightly alphabet news corps for weeks...

Oh wait...my mistake.

Now I remember.

It did no such thing...

The story was (except maybe locally) pretty much buried with the bodies of the victims

...as it didn't fit "the narrative".

Sick and demented.

...both the perps AND the MSM.

Like almost every other similar black on white crime, this was pretty much a Local Story Only.

Probably, I don’t remember much of it. And then as now, there wasn’t a national story in the details. Partly because the crime was solved and perps identified relatively quickly. Threat gone.

My husband grew up in Wichita, still has family there, and we never heard of it! He does, however, remember the BTK killings.

White liberal 'elites' benefit from the culture of violent black men.

Elites demand we ignore black crimes and thuggery... White 'elites' use their 'love and compassion' for black thugs as justification for selling our our country to the Chinese, for feathering their own nests, for voter fraud and for stealing from the people.

Like Biden, they have delusions of keeping blacks out of chains - as if it's 1820 rather than 2020...

And the black community? They're damaged by the favoritism of white 'elites'. No group is 'victim' forever - their victim-hood is being used by white elites to further their own power.

The problem the black community has isn't the KKK it's poor parenting, fatherless home and an extremely high percentage of criminal sons.

White elites caused the problem by tossing black fathers out of the home in the 60's, but allowing white liberal elites to further damage the community by supporting and propping up black criminals is nuts. The black community needs to take a long hard look at themselves, their parenting and the violent and criminal sons they're imposing on the rest of us.

Remember that one also.

Disgusting that they even wasted a trial(let alone two)on that garbage.

...but yet another (for the most part) "national" media black-out for being "too sensitive subject matter for the masses".

(AKA, doesn't fit their pre-set narrative of good guy/bad guy).

I knew about this, but never made the coincidental connection. Here is the story of my cousin’s cold blooded murder by black thug criminal Jeremiah Carr.

“On March 4, 1979, band member Ernest Frederick “Freddy” Owens, who joined after 1970 and played sax and bass, was robbed and shot to death by Jeremiah Carr at a Holiday Inn motel in Richmond, Virginia, where the band had a show. He had attempted to stop Carr from escaping after Carr raped his wife; two shots wounded a third man in the room. While Bill Deal kept going on with the Rhondels for another four years, he never really got over this incident and quit the music business in 1983.”
