Deployed Soldier's Family Found Murdered

I hav eposted this story in th ePTS forum's already, but it is such a "Viscious and Cruel Act" that I want to see what the reader's reaction is to such a down right sadistic act that would make anyone angry. At the bottom of the picture there is a place to send your regards for the family and the Soldier that is coming home from a war to face the worst possible nightmare that could only be desribe as "Herendous."

KIRKLAND, Washington (July 21) - The wife, two sons and sister-in-law of a soldier serving in Iraq who were found dead in the soldier's burned-out house had been stabbed, and a neighbor has been jailed for investigation of homicide, authorities said.

the source of the story:


articles.news.aol.com...

Any comment's or release's of anger are welcomed to this sad but true post.. "I hate hearing thing's like this happening to hard working folk's, and a military man fighting his way to happiness just gat his "Happiness" snuffed out without any sign's of the war he was fighting in."

I dont think any words can be posted here that would truly explain the anger felt by everyone in regard to this story, and no amount of sympathy or compassion will ever be enough. I honestly hope that if there is a god out there, any god, please give this soldier the strength he will desperately need to go on.......one can only imagine would they would do to themselves in the same situation.

My thoughts and compassion are with him if there was a way of helping him I would.

That is all I have to say...

being russian myself and living in kirkland my mom knew these people.

Just a sad story, like thousands of other sad stories.

How many people are killed in the US every year? How many of those people are children?

Unfortunately, this is not an rare event.

Agreed that this is a sad event, but why post it here when there are thousands of other murders out there that are not posted here?

Does this have anything to do with his service in Iraq or else where/ is it a feud because of his job? or is it russian mafia slap down? or is it just a brutal sick sadistic crime that is endemic in the world today?

i highly doubt it was mob related. the neighbors, one of which is the suspect, were basically punks; i had a few bad run-ins with them while visiting the family. they are type the street race, hang out around school campuses at night drinking/doing drugs, play loud music at 3 am.

i'm sure every neighborhood has its hooligans. i mean if you're tired of people calling the police on you go smash a window, blow out car tires or something to vent your anger. but this, this just went too far.

These kin dof word's are what I was looking for, it does't "Fix" thing's, but to know that there are people that truly care about someone they don't know personally and being able to have so much passoion. I feel the same way and wish there was a way to aleviate the soldier's sorrow's.

THanks for posting Melbourne, you are a compaasionate individual you take care.

my thought's are very similar to your's.

I totally understand, there aren't word's for the act. But thank you for taking the time to read this post, and it wasn't my idea to put this post to publicize terrible thing;'s like this, it was for all the people out there that think they don'have to worry about our society here in the USA is highly mistaken!! Some real loonie's out there.

Thanks for posting Retinoid, you are very down to earth, and I feel terrible for the soldier as well.

WOW! it must be very hard for you and your mom to accept this situation as well, "How long did she know them?"
"Were they very nice soul's?"

Thank's for your input Crow, I am sure that your acquaintence was welcomed by them, even if it was through your mother.

Imagine.
"You are at war in a different country, the only thing you can think about is to get back home to your babie's and your wife, you get the call, 'Your entire family has been murdered." and all you can do is say "WHY?"."

You have some serious mental prob's if you can't understand why I had posted this, it is about the respect of one of our soldier's who was willing to die, and his family fell here in the USA while he was trying to do the right thing for other's.

If I were this soldier, I would have to damn this war!!
He could be possibly thinking right now "Why did I have to leave them?" and that has to be rough for him.
As for the "Conspiracy Theory " part of your post, I don't think so, but then again, there has been stranger thing's to happen to the patriotic of our country.

Here's basically what happened, it isn't the official version by the police but from speaking to relatives and from what I know I think this is how it went...

The family had two sisters, one of which appears to have had a semi-secret relationship with the killer, who lived next door. The killer, drunk that night, went into their house and to the second floor to the room of the sister who apperantly was having relations with him. However, it was the other sister, not the one who was with him, that was sleeping on the bed. Of course she had no idea who this guy was so she started to scream/attack him. So he slit her throat, then proceeded to stab two children and the girl he liked who was sleeping down stairs. Then he passed out. He woke up the next morning covered in blood and saw the bodies lying around so he poured gas on the house and set it ablaze to dispose of the corpses. The cops think it was him because he was covered in scratches and bruises and, obviously, something was going on between one of the sisters and him. Not to mention I'm sure K9 dogs could probably smell gas on him.

the family were hard working honest people, and everyone on the block liked them. the girls were very bright and motivated students with a whole future ahead of them, college etc. however, like many woman these days, i guess one of the girls was attracted to that "bad boy" type of guy.

thank you for the support everyone.
