The fellow that did this...actually a friend of the family sort of. His wife
was my daughter's ex husbands cousin. The wife and I went to their wedding
and reception here in El Paso and I danced with the lady.
The pasta was apparently what set the fellow off, but the story was that they
had had a child that died after only a few weeks. Seems the child's heart
and lungs were not fully developed. Those were the parts the fellow staked
out in the back yard.
He was still driving around after killing their wife with a second child, a
girl when he was caught.
We went to the funeral here and were told he was acting on some ancient
Jewish law that allowed a man to kill his wife if she could not give him
sons...at least in the guy's demented mind.
The ladies parents had gone to NY and retrieved the little girl.
You read about this stuff all the time but never expect to be connected with
it. We just happened to be visiting in PA when it hit the paper and found
out that way.
Small world, lots of sick people.
