This story really should have been featured on "Fear Thy Neighbor," as it was neighbor Hilton Crawford, 56, pictured above, who was the culprit. But first, let me say something about Texas. From what I can tell, both that state and Florida are unsafe for children. Now, let me add, I have two friends who hail from the Lone Star State, and lovelier folk one could not ask for. However, they did get out of there ASAP, so, I think that speaks volumes.
Here is what happened--
Carl and Paulette Everett, were a happily married couple living in Conroe, Texas. They had one child, Samuel McKay Everett--though he went by McKay--who would be their only child. Everything was fine until September 12, 1995. Let me say here that the Everetts' only mistake was getting involved with AMWAY. It's like a cult and a Ponzi scheme.
On said night, the Everetts were going to an AMWAY meeting. So was their friend and neighbor, Hilton Crawford, though he did not turn up at the meeting. McKay, home alone and watching TV, felt safe, and so did the Everetts leaving him there--at 12, why not? --so nothing should have gone wrong. But when Carl Everett called home and got no answer, he sped home, where he found McKay missing.
The devil viper in their midst, Hilton Crawford, had concocted a plan to kidnap McKay and hold him for ransom, to extract $500K from the Everetts to pay off gambling and other debts. This man had a wife, two sons, and had been a Sheriff's deputy in nearby Beaumont, and worked in security. The sick bastard. He even got his former bitch co-worker Irene Fores--you whore! --to make the ransom call. Finally realizing there was no turning back, Crawford mercilessly tortured and strangled McKay, taking his body to a nearby Louisianna swamp area, where he was shot.
He insisted he was innocent! Hah! Then, when convicted, he said he did not pull the trigger, but that H. L. Remmington, a man no one had proof existed, did. Excuse me; does Crawford think that excuses him from kidnap and merciless torture? Because when Crawford showed up at the Everetts that night, McKay had no idea what he was in for. The families were friends, he knew the guy, and even called him Uncle Hiltie. This twisted, evil, bastard!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
On July 2, 2003, Crawford got the lethal injection he deserved, at the age of 64. Meanwhile, McKay is not coming back, and that Irene Fores is walking about; she better hope she does not run into me, because I will walk right up to her, and slap her across the face!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stay out of Texas if you plan to have children, darlings. I know we just love Edna Ferber and all, but it is, after all, fiction!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh nooo both my military sons got orders recently; one to Japan and the other to ...TEXAS!!!
