Too bad some of the Westerfield defenders weren't around to give this guy moral support.

This freak was allowed to walk the streets a free man for 19 months after the girls deaths.

The families of Kynara Carreiro and Kristin Wiley waited 19 months for the arrest that finally came. His daughter's murder propelled Bob Carreiro into the spotlight, where he remained as a high-profile victims' advocate. He wants to think his visibility had something to do with Mays ' finally coming forward. "I hoped that every time that bastard saw my face on the front page or on the news it rattled his cage," Carreiro said. Kip Wiley, father of Kristin, said, "We felt all along it was him, and I knew it was only a matter of time. We always felt the case would be solved." After the arrest, the families realized that this was not the end of their quest for justice. "You feel like you have crossed the hill," Pat Taylor, Kynara's stepfather, said of May's arrest and confession. "You look back at the 19 months and you realize it's not over. You know you have another 10 years (of appeals)." Kip Wiley, Kristin's father, said he and his wife, Becky, would closely monitor the legal proceedings surrounding Mays' prosecution. Bob Carreiro, Kynara's father, said he and other activists also would keep close tabs on the case. "I've just become so involved with victims' rights groups," Carreiro said. "You can bet we are going to be watching very, very close for any type of antics (by defense attorneys)." Because of his previous false statement to officers and other reasons, Carreiro had believed for some time that Mays was the suspect, and he and his friends had been following him for several months. That, coupled with the constant news coverage, played heavily on Mays' conscience. "I have no doubt that whenever he got to see my face or (pictures of) the girls' faces on TV, it had an immense effect on him," Carreiro said, and that his monitoring of Mays ' moves caused him to confess. "I was told by people in law enforcement that this was laying heavy on his mind," Carreiro said. "I was told this guy was afraid of me." Carreiro said he and his friends followed Mays constantly and passed by his house while riding motorcycles. They followed him to events where he performed as Uh-Oh the Clown, and Carreiro once approached a woman Mays was dating to tell her he believed the man was a suspect in the slaying of two children. The constant watch, Carreiro said, caused Mays to change his appearance several times and to start using his first name of Randy instead of Rex. "There is no way I could just sit back when there is a possibility of this happening again," Carreiro said of his reason for following Mays. "I could never be able to live with myself."

He even continued to be the clown after the children's death....

Good work by Detective Bob Valerio. It could not have been easy to talk with this man and befriend him, but that is what it took to build the case. I can only imagine the horror.

He should have had the decency to off himself long ago.

Mays, who sometimes entertained children as Uh-Oh the Clown, blamed his actions on a bad day.

I'll bet he has a lot more bad days as he burns in hell forever.

Meek, give 'er a Texas bump.

Every liberal loves a predator. Especially a child-killer.

Well, I know hindsight is 20/20, but I swear, one look at that "clown" face and I knew this guy was a fruitcake. That was before reading the article.

I think it was his sitting in the lawn chair enjoying the show afterward that really did it, at least for me. He'll be getting a painless needle in the arm - his victims got thrown down and sat on by somebody three times their size and stabbed repeatedly in the face. Against that the article tries to balance the good things he did in his life, and hey, he'd had a bad day...which is beyond weak, it's an insult to the intelligence.
