I live about three miles from this place. A close friend lives about a block away. I saw this on the news and knew her son would be walking home from school around this time, so I alerted her to the news. I'm just glad that they got the guy. Would have been so scary to think that he could still be in the area.

Horrible that he had to do that to those people. I had heard from a friend that he was angry over custody issues. Good job. Now, they don't have a father OR mother... and potentially a handful of other children are left without one of their parents.

So sad.

women get postpartum depression

I think shrinks should look into a possible male condition called 'testosterone overload'
