We are supposed to be easing into a joyous and spiritual time of year, yet there is more bitchery at large in the world at this particular time than I would like to admit. Nevertheless, murder trumps all, so the winner of this week's Raving Queen Bitch Of The Week Award is Christopher Gattis, 58, of Dogwood Ridge Court, in Chesterfield County, Virginia.
What he did was, on Thanksgiving day, to murder his wife Jeanett, age 55, and daughter Candice L. Kunze, age 30, and her live-in-boyfriend, Andrew E. Buthor,n, at 36.
All three were shot by gun fire.
Examples have emerged to show that Gattis was a problem--violent, prone to drink, and domestically abusive.
The perfect combination for a family annihilator--a pillar to his community, a hypocrite in his home.
What I found off was that the daughter's boy friend, Andrew E. Buthor, was living with the Gattises. Neighbors had reported disagreements within the family, over the past few weeks.
I would bet it stemmed from the boyfriend and daughter, living openly, though not married. And in his house. Like John List, the Gold Standard for this type of crime, who was upset his daughter, Patty, was beginning to emerge as an individual.
Change like this is too much for these hypocrites. So, why not just have the couple live elsewhere? Did the boyfriend have a job? Did the daughter? Clearly, the living arrangement, at least for one person, was not working out, and considering who that person was, and how his behavior is prone to violence, if the couple had found another place, I don't think there would have been a murder at all.
I always cringe when I hear the phrase, "Youth Pastor." Like they are supposed to be so "squeaky clean." But are not. Just like the chances are low of a male church organist being straight!
Christopher Gattis fit a classic profile. The tragedy is nobody saw it in time.
