The most recent murders...........

[CathyA]

Sure, I could quit listening to news, but I do want to know what's happening. The Molly Tibbetts' case is so upsetting. The longer she was missing, the more it seemed it would end badly.
Then the man who supposedly murdered his pregnant wife and 2 small children. Not to mention there are murders every night in the city near me.........and of course all over the country.

2 young teenage girls were murdered in a town north of here over a year ago, and they haven't found the guy yet. I don't think it's just more news about those things. It feels like we're on a downward slide in many ways. It's hard not to get depressed about it.

Back to the guy who killed his pregnant wife and children. Did anyone see the first news they had talking to the husband, before they found the bodies? To me, he was totally guilty then. His plea was so very insincere and without affect. Surely the investigators picked up on that right away. How can a person go from appearing to be a good family man to killing his whole family and putting his sweet children in oil vats??

And then blaming his daughters' murders on his poor wife. Christian Longo tried that defense; it didn't work well for him--he's on Oregon's death row.

Oh, was Molly tibbets found? I guess I need to go Google that.

Press conference at six their time.

There must be something left out. Seems like a "perfectly normal person" can't just go from that to this. It just makes me sick to see those little girls playing and happy. I can't imagine the loss that the parents/grandparents must be feeling.

[JaneV2.0]

Poor impulse control writ large--why do these fools think they can get away with it? And whatever happened to divorce? Surely twenty years worth of child support trumps the death penalty.

Family annilators think that it is their right to do whatever they want and they own the family members. Usually they kill them selves after. They believe that the family can’t survive without them and are usually men.

Sounds like they got Molly Tibbett's killer. An undocumented immigrant. Trump will have a field day with this.
I don't understand what makes people kill people they don't even know. I think only killers understand. :(
I'm so sad for her family. It's hard to not be overly protective with our children....even older ones, when you hear things like this.

[Tybee]

Very true, Cathy, the older I get, the more unsettled I am by hearing these things, and the more I find myself feeling worry about my children and grandchildren. I guess it's natural.

[Teacher Terry]

They are psychopaths that lack empathy and a conscience. They get a high from killing people.

Come now, he may just be innocently without documentation, maybe he left his ID at home when the cops picked him up.
The status of his existence here in the U.S. is far less of interest than his status as an alleged killer, anyway.

I can't imagine a more painful tragedy.

I havent been sucked into this Molly Tibbets case yet, but may be now. She is such an all amercan Iowa girl. I went to the University of Iowa where she was a student. DH was in Iowa when she went missing and said the case was all that the local media was talking about.

[Teacher Terry]

The poor parents and I feel so bad for the couple that lost their daughter and grandchildren because the husband killed them all. Too many tragedies.

[Teacher Terry]

A town of only 1400 people.

[Tybee]

When I was 14, the sister and niece of one of my best friends in high school were murdered. I do not remember much about it except for the sheer terror and the numb sorrow--it was as though my friend was murdered too, in her soul. Our perception of the world changed over night, that it became a very dangerous place.

Yes, he jumped on it and waved it around with glee.

There have always been men who "hunted" women as if they were prey. A very similar case to the Iowa killing happened in Texas 10-15 years ago where a young lady went out jogging near her home but has never been found. I recall being a teen when Ted Bundy was still out there looking for victims. Additionally, if you look at crime maps for large cities, domestic violence calls are off the charts. I actually called 911 one Sunday afternoon recently when I witnessed a neighbor hitting her boyfriend with a broom in the backyard. They were screaming and hitting each other and I had never witnessed anything like that before. Scared the heck out of me. Lots of talk locally about the Colorado case but seems to me that the husband is a pathological liar. Probably Avery messed up family putting on a good show.

Molly's father, Rob Tibbetts, expressed his desire that we remember Molly by celebrating something wonderful.


Let perpetual light shine upon her. May she rest in peace.
