So THIS is why there was ungodly traffic on Main Street this morning.

 

Officers tell war stories about the crime scenes they've seen, the bad and the ugly. When this one is mentioned, they get a tone of solemn reverence, and you hear things like: "the worst I've ever seen"; "I've been here 22 years and this tops them all"; etc.

 

Tazewell seldom gets captial cases. This will be interesting.

Yikes. Sounds like this one might finally close. Double-murder is already sad enough, now with the son at fault it amps the sad by about 300 sads.

 

It was always rumored that he was involved, the TCSD made sure they had all their i's dotted and t's crossed before charging him...

wonder if he has killed anyone else in the mean time? (seriously)

 

would love to know the details of how this finally came together for them to have enough to get the guy.

 

what kind of person does this to your parents? pathetic.

From everything I've heard running around, I don't think it's over yet either. I think we will hear more on this before it's all over.

What kind of person does that, then goes back into the same restaurant multiple times after he murdered said parents in said restaurant? My friend was the last person to see them alive, and he said in the months/years after it happened, he was in the store many, many times. Sick, sick, sick.

It will be definitely interesting to see this unfold. As Ryan says, it's not the last we've seen of it.

wonder what finally surfaced that made them move now though...

 

I know an officer that was on the scene as soon as they found out, and has been part of the investigation. He said they knew on March 31st, 2009 that the son did it. It's just taken nearly four years to get enough to go get him.
