I don't think I have posted anything on here true crime related since the Gabby Petito case. But two recent events have made me wonder not just what is wrong with society, but I hope this does not bode ill for the new year.
Let us start with the shooting in Newport News, Virginia. On the Friday before January 10--which would be the sixth, not only the Epiphany, but the anniversary of the Capital Insurrection--a six-year-old boy brought a gun to school, and intentionally shot his first-grade teacher, Abigail Zwener, 25.
I will start with her. Thankfully, she should survive, but face it, her career, which was just starting, is over. I do not expect she will ever face a classroom again, after suffering such a traumatic experience. I can tell you I wouldn't.
The boy in question may be the most heinous child since Robert Thompson and Jon Venables, killers of James Bulger, aged 2, back in Liverpool, on February 17, 1993. Hey, this marks thirty years. And Venables, now an adult, is still always in trouble. So much for the justice system.
This kid is not being identified, for his alleged protection. Why? If he is capable enough to operate a gun, and score two hits, notice should be taken of this lethal tyke.
Equally as hidden are the child's parents. Where are they? Who are they? Has Child Services gotten involved. What kind of parents would allow anyone, let alone a six-year-old access to a gun? How would he even know how to use it? How many of us, at that age, would be capable? Not me, I can tell you. But then, we did not have a gun in our house.
There is talk of charging the parents, and it is about time parents took responsibility for the criminal behavior of their offspring. But this kid should not get a free ride. At least a juvenile psychiatric facility.
These are the questions I want answered. And I expect them to be.
Otherwise, the investigators are as much to blame as anyone else.
And that reminds me--
Bryan Kohlberger--oh, I have lots of questions about himFor those just coming back from vacation, this Ted Bundy wannabe is the charming gentleman who, on November 13, 2022 (just two days before the 64th anniversary of the Clutter killings, immortalized in Truman Capote's masterwork, "In Cold Blood," and I bet he knew it) murdered Maddie Morgan, 21, Kaylee Goncalves, 21, Xana Kernodle, 22, and Ethan Chapin, 20.
It was pretty grisly. The victims were allegedly stabbed while asleep in their off-campus housing, near Moscow, and all were students at the University Of Idaho. How come no one heard anything, except the survivor? And why was she spared?
I have no doubt of his motive--serial killer fame. His persona and background are very similar to Ted Bundy. Bryan Kohberger is highly educated, a Ph.D. student at Washington State University. But he is from a wealthy family in a wealthy locale--Chestunut Hill, PA. Remember that town in the "Cold Case" episode "The Sleepover?" So, take that into consideration. Bet the parents will pull a Brian Laundrie with him. There is already a story out there about his father picking him up in Idaho and driving him away. What the hell is going on?
Look at those eyes. Cold. He meant to do this. But why these four? Therre must be a connection somewhere, and I want to know it. Once that is found, more insight into his selection of these students will reveal more.
Bryan Kohberger is the embodiment of Richard Loeb, the more dangerous the Leopold-Loeb team, back in the twenties. He wanted to commit the perfect murder, and he chose these victims and this location. But why?
And how about his family background. What kind of parents raised such an entitled monster? His Chestnut Hill background just reeks of entitlement. But then, what is a Chestnut Hill student, of supposed intelligence, doing at a non-Ivy League school? It's not like he can't afford it.
Much has been made of his sister, Amanda having been in a 2011 independent horror film, a slasher called "Two Days Back." But does it really matter?
The public should be informed of Bryan Kohlberger, who, had he not been caught, would have killed again. Prison inmates should watch out for him.
This criminal makes me sick. But legal officials botching this case, which I so fear, in which case Bryan walks, angers me.
By the way, I have a cousin named Brian. And he is NOT a serial killer.
We are all in shock and grief around here.
ReplyDeleteWe do have a lot of gun violence, but Never before inside an Elementary school.
Never thought little ole Newport News would receive National attention.
Not for something like This anyway.
As far as the Idaho killer, you’re right the EYES
ReplyDeletePsycho eyes
Like the Sandy Hook monster
Victoria,
ReplyDeleteI can only imagine what the community
is going through. I feel for everyone,
including the boy and his family. How did
this happen? Or was allowed to?
As for the killer's eyes, it is said the eyes
are the windows to the soul. I see blankness,
indicating to me he has no soul.
Yes. Souless. GODLESS.
ReplyDeleteLike much of the world these days, it seems.
