grown kids he would often come over for dinner and help with minor repairs around the house we moved away a few years later and he wanted to buy the house back luckily it was a cash deal because soon after riddle went through he was arrested for child porn when the cops raided his house there was no sign of his wife upon looking into it no one had seen or heard from her in months turns out he had murdered her and buried her in their backyard i sat next to that man at the dinner table as a child still haunts me a few years ago I hired a father-son handyman team to help me get my house ready to put on the market among other things my outside doorknobs were in bad shape so they installed new ones the dad seemed pretty nice even did a little bit for free on their third and last day at my house he was pretty fired up about a big job they were starting the next day three days later he killed his new clients because they were unhappy with his work a neighbor saw what happened and ran into her house and hid he kicked her door in and shot her too I was terrified until he was caught I graduated high school with dr death chris dunch he was an [ __ ] he was charming with teachers and people who could benefit him he was awful to everybody else I didn't see it but one or more awkward and vulnerable classmates said he bullied him relentlessly and I believed it he was easily irritated and if you got on his nerves he would really lose his cool remarkably mean and people would just shrug their shoulders and say that's just how Chris is my little sister dated a guy when she was in high school who ended up murdering a couple he owed money to for heroine this dude beat them with a freaking baseball bat and hammer he almost got the death sentence but ended up with life in prison with no possibility of parole he was a seemingly nice polite teenager I used to drive him and my sister around for various dates and things he was quiet but not oddly so he just seemed like a normal teenage boy edit sorry I just got some clarification on some details the murder weapons were actually a microphone stand and a hammer he is eligible for parole after 51 years this happened in 2015 he was an [ __ ] I'm not surprised he killed somebody he killed a 65 year old man in a revenge drive-by shooting he shooted the wrong house the guy he intended to kill didn't even live in that neighborhood my best friend's older brother killed her stepmom strangled her and burned the house down he was just like any other teenager older brother a bit rebellious but nothing out of the ordinary he was kinda goth and likes heavy metal and had dark humor he played Goldeneye with us and always let me use the see-through purple controller he teased his little sister just like any brother would one time he took us for a car ride and did donuts in a church parking lot while blasting a big shiny tunes album and it was really fun nothing ever indicated what he would do later in life I went to high school with a girl who poisoned her father no one knew until she confessed a year later watching a Shakespeare play in college she was a little weird in school but I didn't think she was capable of that he was really nice and I had gone to k-12 with him never knew him to be the kind of person that would even get upset then I get a text a couple years ago asking do you know about X him and his brother killed their parents edit I'm out of the loop on this one younger brother was cleared my sister was killed by her friend Kay he was well normal took good care of her during recovery from surgery a bit weird but nothing stands out weird as an opposite interest sunshine where my sister was outgoing never would have expected it from him until Oh had to clean out their place and found a bunch of guns and crapload of knives and poop yes was hired at the same time as him w walked right next to him for several years he was one of those stoner guys always bragging about the parties he went to he was a little obnoxious in a bro sort of way so I always skipped hanging out with him after work after I left that job a little while later he killed his ex-girlfriend while her 5yo was in the app watching TV took the kid on a road trip to Texas and smothered her on Christmas morning and left her in a suitcase on the side of the road I played basketball with a guy a few years ago in high school tried to find him on Facebook and turns out he was being tried for murder apparently he and some of his friends were looking for pot money so they broke into this guy's house and somehow they guy ended up dead everyone in his group said he pulled the trigger but he denied it maybe he did it maybe he didn't but I can't say that he was a genuinely nice person when I knew him never would have expected him to kill someone but I guess my mom was right about hanging out with the wrong crowd boy a couple years my minor in high school he was always the outcast in his classes he dressed funny talked funny and said disturbing things that some recall as threats mostly to the girls of the school after graduation he ended up butchering a homeless woman he was I can't say living together or in a relationship with I'm not sure what their status was either way kitchen knife drained her into the tub in court he showed no remorse and was proud to have finally ended someone's life his father was my professor in university he took it very hard I was friends with a guy who was accused of physical abusing his son he went through the courts to fight it the ex-girlfriend finally admitted she made it up because he cheated on her he ended up killing her then himself one of my best friends when I was stationed at Fort Bragg ended up getting into some sort of drunken altercation later on in his career at Fort Hood went back to his house to retrieve a pistol went back to the party and shot a dude it was absolutely insane to me when I heard about it because he had never shown any tendencies towards violence when I hung out with him pretty much every day for over two years probably drank a little too much but he was always just a good dude raising a good family last time I talked to him was three days before his trial he ended up changing his plea to guilty to receive 25 years instead of life he's at Leavenworth now going on probably seven or eight years now feel bad for the family of the guy T shot he was a medically retired vet and didn't deserve to be gunned down like that as much as the murderer was my friend he gets to go home one day the guy he shot never will I worked with a guy that murdered his GF he was a cool dude i sat with him a lot on my lunch breaks we talked about football school life etc pretty normal stuff never would think he was a killer he was not an aggressive person at all one of my parents friends used to come around all the time he was probably only 21 nicest guy ever type of guy who wouldn't hurt a fly a couple of years later he moved and we seen him on the news for murder turned out he got on the ice and his girlfriend convinced him to kill her ex with her they then buried him in concrete only reason they got caught was because they wrote their frickin names in the concrete my aunt was a surgical technician who worked closely with Michael Swango the killer doctor at Ohio State's Hospital she said he had very poor bedside manner and didn't seem even slightly concerned when his patients were in pain he would often bring in food for the other staff and people would mysteriously get sick after he eventually got exposed after ER the roommate of one of his patients victims heard him inject a lethal dose of medication into her IV and told the woman when it gets your other arm you will be dead by the time he was found out he had already fled the state my aunt and several of her co-workers were interviewed by what they we're told was the state medical board but it was actually the osoo board of directors there was a large cover-up from the University to protect their University and Swango was allowed to kill over 100 more patients before he was caught there's a really good book about swen go and the cover-up called blind eye my aunt was interviewed for the book and said it is the most accurate description of the killings and the politics that allowed him to keep killing my neighbor's father murdered his entire family and then killed himself shortly before he was to be indicted over a Ponzi esque scheme I knew the whole family well the dad was always a little weird and would do things like wear a full three-piece suit to a child's soccer game never showed any signs of being violent though the mother and two daughters were wonderful people it was a real tragedy I dated a guy who later stabbed his mother to death he was psychotic and abusive and I fled the state because I was afraid he was going to kill me I found out years later that he murdered his mother just a few months after I left him he's still in prison it's been 20 years and I still have nightmares about him and I still feel a little sick talking about it I once spent some time with some rough guys growing up who ran a gang if you want to call it that they sold most of the drugs in our town I spent my time with that group of people because they accepted you no matter who you were our initiation to get into the group was to beat the poop out of each other in the front yard of our house it was considered a sign of respect to each other anyways one time we were at a party and these two dudes invited this guy to come up to the hills with them this party was out in the sticks middle of nowhere and I remember while I was there seeing one of them grab a baseball bat before they got into their truck and left with the guy I left the party a little bit later but I heard from some other people in the group that when they came back it was just the two dudes and that their baseball bat had blood on it I never saw the guy they took up there again I don't know what they did to him and it could be that he wasn't even from our town that maybe nothing happened to him and the people who told me about it was seeing things but I stopped hanging out with those guys shortly after that high school classmate murdered a college student at random and was given the death penalty executed in Florida he had a difficult home life it was always the life of the party I used to play hacky sack at school with a kid that ended up meeting an older gentleman on Craigslist for gay sex met with him killed him and burped his house down with his dead body inside seemed like an okay dude no red flags to speak of really my academic adviser murdered her husband this weekend she always said she was single she was really kind of damp totally didn't seem like the type she canceled our class yesterday and was arrested today he was seemingly a really nice dude he worked in our College dining hall always friendly polite kind to the students and he made me smile or chuckle more than once it turns out he stabbed a homeless woman over 24 times and was arrested for murder I suppose some people can just snap or are really good at hiding true nature not sure which category he falls into my manager at work was a pretty chill nerdy guy he was really nice to talk to end a fun boss then he smothered his infant son and it kind of messed me up for a while this was a guy that I almost considered a friend everyone at work was shocked and didn't know how to handle or feel about it of course we talked about it when there weren't any customers around but most of it was the expected I can't believe manager did this talk my childhood neighbor and Sunday school teacher children's church classes recently murdered his wife in cold blood he is like 70 years old he always gave me the creeps and I could never figure out why once when my brother was around 15 he was over at their house without mom helping this man's wife do some renovations on their house the guy showed up and went off on my brother as if he were trying to get with his wife when my bro was forced to be there by our mom to help this older lady odd fast forward to now my dad works at the jail he's at my parents were divorced so my dad never knew him before an elderly lady recently visited the killer in jail and had a health emergency while she was in the visiting cubicles and my dad called the ambulance to help her or whatever later on this guy shakes my dad's hand and Luck's right into his eyes with a seemingly genuine thank you for saving this lady my dad said he felt her chill run through his entire body and compared the guy's smile to the Cheshire cat from Alice in Wonderland kreeya pee I used to live in a shared house with three other dudes this one particular guy used to go to work every day come home go to the club for a few beers I left the house several years later a young lass was stabbed to death not far from where I was working police came in the next day and asked if anyone recognized the photo lo and behold it was a dude I used to live with I didn't know her well but I attended a wedding with a member of the bridal party some years back the maid of honor seemed like Oh cheering funny person I had a good time at the wedding and we chatted a bit about six months later the moss shot and killed her husband I don't know if
