That’s a question you might want to ask him.” In the first week of...

It's easier than ever for youths to keep secrets, and a slaying case highlights parents' worst fears.Perfect parents. Perfect home. Perfect kids. Or so it seemed. Then, unbelievably, two families in agony. A community in shock. The double-murder case in Lititz - 18-year-old David Ludwig charged with shooting the parents of his secret girlfriend, Kara Beth Borden, a 14-year-old he met in their Christian homeschooling network - has provoked more than speculation about the Nov. 13 incident itself. It has caused a wave of anxiety among many parents in the region, who wonder if anything ever truly is what it...

Shortly after Michael and Cathryn Borden of Lititz, Pa., were slain by their daughter's boyfriend (David Ludwig), family and clergy – at least those who presented themselves to the media – indicated their readiness to forgive little Lizzie, I mean Kara Borden. Forgiveness at least implies some acknowledgment of wrongdoing. The media, for the most, wouldn't even impugn the girl. After the shootings, Borden hopped into her beau's get-away car. She told him she wanted to "get as far away as possible, get married and start a new life." Only after Borden was confronted with surveillance cameras did she confess...

Updates, Thoughts and a Timeline: David Ludwig and Kara Beth Borden, November 29, 2005by Bill Bickel"Sources close to the case" say that the prosecution isn't inclined to ask for the death penalty because of Ludwig's age and the lack of any prior offenses. Personally, I'd think that when you're considering a premeditated cold-blooded double murder, "prior offenses" is fairly irrelevant; after all, what previous offenses would even remotely approach the seriousness of the current charges? Yesterday, a Lancaster County (PA) judge, in response to a request made by Assistant District Attorney Christopher Hackman, ordered that four web sites owned by...

LANCASTER - Kara Beth Borden was the second girlfriend that David Ludwig took on a long-distance trip without her parents' consent this year. Confirming a report in a Lancaster newspaper, the Rev.

The couple returned voluntarily, Shelley said, adding that he knows the Ludwig family well because they attend his church.

"If she is charged because she was part of the planning, if she is charged because she was sort of a co-conspirator, she will face murder charges, even if she didn't pull the trigger. And the important thing to know about this, in terms of Pennsylvania law, is because she's 14, she's old enough to be transferred to adult court, be prosecuted as an adult and face, not the death penalty because of her age, but life behind bars."

Fourteen-year-old Kara Borden saw her boyfriend kill her father and then fled the scene with the 18-year-old to "get as far away as possible, get married and start a new life," Pennsylvania prosecutors allege in newly filed court papers. The girl's mother was also slain. The documents state that the suspect, David Ludwig, told a detective: "It was an intentional murder. I intended to shoot them, and I did."

[snip]David Ludwig, at least, seemed to use his "faith" in the same way other men use sports cars — as a "hook." It appeared to be a tool with which he manipulated the young woman in Hawaii. . . .

However, the entirety of one blog was not yet deleted, and in that weblog, created using a variation on Kara Beth's "KareBear" screen name, she had pasted, on October 17, 2005, at 2:20 p.m., an instant message transcript of a chat she had with a friend. Using yet a third variation on her "KareBear" nick, Kara Beth seemed to show a different side to her personality. if it has to do with david and me, we are taking care of it — we know what we are going to do. so you are just gonna go...
