Many questions, few answers

A week ago (last Saturday) three of my friends were
found murdered. Names Jerry, Ronnie and Crystal.
Ronnie worked for Jerry and lived next door. Crystal
was Ronnie's live in girlfriend. All found dead at just
about daylight, by the next neighbor. The sherrif won't
say much yet, but said a shotgun and knife were used
in all three deaths. We suspect that Jerry heard something
next door, ran over just in time to get himself killed.They
found evidence (material) that implicates the neighbor.
He is now in jail. As well as 3 counts of murder-1, he is
also charged with 3 counts of armed robbery. Estimated
proceeds of this "robbery" is less than $200. What fool
kills 3 good people that have been good neighbors to him,
for little bit of money? Don't make sense to me. In an odd
sort of way, maybe I hope it never does.

I am so sorry for your loss. Understanding does not bring comfort, so don't try to make sense out of a senseless situation. It will only add to your angst. I pray for your comfort and all the deceased's loved ones.

I am sorry for the loss of your friends. Yes, as someone above already said, do not try to make sense of something so bad.

What ever the answer is it won't make sense to any of us.

I remember a case of a dock dispute in MN. The neighbor shot the father and little boy on the dock, then went into their house and shot the mother and little girl. Then he shot himself.

I'm sorry to hear that. I guess we'll never figure out the why of things like this. Maybe that's why religion, in all it's forms, was created. To help us mere mortals make sense out of the seemingly senseless. Sending prayers for family and friends.

So sorry David.

I was part of the cleanup of my best friends sister and Mom's former home/ crime scene.

4am I get a call from Shock/Trauma where the Mom was. "Go to the police and tell them Don't believe a word Bruce tells them".

Bruce had murdered his wife - my friends sister - with the 7 month old baby sitting on the floor. His thwarted plan was quite elaborate, but it won't help you any.

Very rough to get through.


Do you have a support group of friends? If not find a good place to let it out.

Keep this thread open of course, but you probably need humans to help you feel better.

that is very scarey..some murderers were caught holed up in an abandoned house behind our house several years ago, since then the house has been torn down..thank God.

It makes for a cautious neighborhood for a long time..

So sorry for the loss of your friends. There are no words that can really offer comfort during this time. May justice prevail.

Sorry about your Friends.

I think it don't matter on the amount some will kill for.I know a Guy that killed his Mom for the Little bit of Money she kept in a Tobacco Bag pinned in her Bra.

I'm so sorry for the tragic loss of your friends. I also agree and pray that it never does make sense..what a waste, and so much sadness.

Sorry for your loss, most murders make no sense, don`t let it eat at you. If you need to talk to someone about it please do, don`t let it fester. > Thanks Marc

I too am sorry to hear about this. Bless the families of your friends, and bless you. FWIW, I believe we can never comprehend this type of insanity. If we did understand it, that would mean we'd be insane too.
