I went to school with one that turned out to be one. He handed me my first and worst butt whoopin when we were in the 3rd grade. Had me nearly knocked out and was stomping on my head.

When we were in the 10th grade, he was doing donuts in the neighborhood at some random front yards and some old guy came out and yelled at him. He got out of his truck and beat him to within an inch of his life. His dad was a big deal I guess so he always got off easy.

When he was 20 or so he got into a fight and lost so he ran over the guy in his truck and killed him. Crushed him against another car. He served time in prison, I dont know how long but he's in his 40's now and has a family, pretty wife, kids, etc. Works in sales. He comes up as a suggested friend on facebook.

Mike Wade. Sadly a pretty good friend of mine at one time. He ran hotshot for me in the scaffold biz I was in.

I knew one very well. He killed a guy at a party. Left the party to go get alcohol and apparently took a girl with him. When they got back her boyfriend confronted him and they fought. My childhood friend pulled a gun and shot and killed him. All over some pussy. One is dead and other may as well be bc he’ll never leave prison. Sad all the way around really. He tried to write me and wanted to keep in touch but it was too weird for me so I cut that out. I feel bad for him, but I just have nothing to write back and forth with him

I had a cousin who killed a guy in a drug deal gone bad. He died a couple of years ago in prison. He was in about 25 years. About 15 years ago my aunt asked family to write support letters for his parole hearing. I wrote one. He wasn’t a bad guy, just got in with the wrong crowd. He had never been arrested before.

I grew up with a guy who later killed his wife and in laws during a custody battle. My first cousin who also grew up with him was the arresting officer.

I played junior high ball and went to high school with a kid who has since been executed in Florida for a horrific murder. Quiet, normal acting guy.
In junior high, he exposed himself to a girl who was kind of trashy. So that was a sign. His older brother, who was my age, was an awesome guy.

Mid 40s. Don’t even have a misdemeanor criminal in my large extended family much less a murderer. No one I went to school with murdered anyone either.

I used to work with a serial killer. Robert Lee Yates. We were both in the same Army unit in the early 90s at Fort Drum. Quiet Christian-acting guy with a big family. Ended up murdering prostitutes in Spokane after he got out. I think he killed about 16 people. Apparently he’d already killed three people by the time I knew and worked with him. I was a new guy and I remember him and some of the other older dudes messing around with me. No idea what kind of monster this guy was.

I ‘ve known 2 men that killed their wives,1 committed suicide,the other went home and was arrested.I would rather not post the details.

Unfortunately, I also knew a guy who murdered his wife and then killed himself. They were in a group with us on a trip once. I stayed in contact with the wife and her daughter socially through the same group that sponsored the trip. Now the daughter, in her 20s, has no living family. Just tragic.

Kast I heard he was dying of rectal cancer (Karma?)
—I bet being in prison explains the rectal angle

Yep, successful and very unassuming engineer for Shell in New Orleans flipped and cut both his kids throats (ages 5 & 2), tried to do the same to wife but she survived. Our families hung out together a lot. The kids were about 5-6 years younger than my little brother and I. It was pretty shocking. Doing 2 consecutive life sentences at Angola
