These two incidents stand out because I knew the victims. The first murders occurred just a few miles from me, and I had served as mail carrier in that town, and knew all the people involved. There were many twists and turns, and lies spread about what happened. In the end, a major at nearby Ft. Campbell was convicted of the murders.
In the second case, I knew the man who was killed very well, and although I'd never met his wife and daughter, he'd spoke of them often. It was a case of an adopted son, who turned out to be worthless, being jealous of the success of his adopted sister, who had become a well known vet. He hired someone to kill his family, then killed that guy, trying to make himself look like a hero. He should have been given the death penalty.

Lafonda Fay Foster - in April of 1986 she killed 5 of her friends in one night while in a drug fueled frenzy looking for more drugs. Convicted and sentenced to death - later commuted to life in prison.
Had the opportunity to fight her toe to toe while trying to arrest her one night ( not the night of the murders ) - gotta give the ol' gal credit - she could ( and would ) fight like a man. The fight outcome was in doubt for a period of time before I finally persevered. Saw her fight numerous other officers on various occasions with the same dynamics. Tough ol' gal.

Bunch of others around the greater Clarksville, FTCKY/ Hopkinsville area.
From my hometown almost 28 years ago. Knew both the killer and the victim.
The saddest part about the accomplice’s admission about the second, unsolved murder is that (supposedly) due to his mental disability, law enforcement officials didn’t put much stock into his statement because it seemed too far fetched.
Government is like a baby: An alimentary canal with a big appetite at one end and no sense of responsibility at the other. - Ronald Reagan
For why should my freedom be judged by another man's conscience? - 1 Corinthians 10:29
A five year old child starved to death by his grandmother because she didn’t believe it was her son’s child 😡 Both parents were druggies, abandoned the child there. Unbelievable that such a thing could occur in what actually was not a bad neighborhood with other kids in the house and with many decent neighbors close at hand, but it did.
One of them things that make you say my gosh, if people had only known, everyone would have poured in to save that kid.
The other one made national news, 50+ illegals dead of heat exhaustion in a trailer last year. Maybe seven miles as the crow flies.
