Ring of serial killers nearby
 

This has been discussed in private for years, and now there's finally proof that the many deaths of young college age males in what have been ruled "Accidental drunken drownings" are in fact homicides. About 40 deaths have been connected, with most of the deaths having occurred less than an hr from my home both north and south of me. How scary!

I actually wonder if there is more... I will let Angie explain if she chooses to.... if you don't know what i'm referring to Angie just pm or im or call...

Wow, that really is scarey.

The world has some sickos for sure. I hope you and Angie, didn't know one of the victims Traci.

I certainly hope they can arrest this gang and shut them down A.S.A.P.!!!!!! How horrible!!

I saw that on the news the other night, that is really scary that something like that could be happening close to you.

I just don't understand why people would want to kill someone that they didn't even know. Or anyone else for that matter. They said that they know the names of the killers but don't want to release them for fear that they would go underground and never be found. I hope that the police put an end to all of this soon. Stay safe, Tink, and your family too!!!!

How scary! I never imagined a group would form just to commit murders. How awful!

If you are referring to James, I don't think that's related to this. He was murdered so that those two guys could use his car for a bank robbery. He was strangled and then buried by a church. No water involved. The two guys are now in jail.

How sad and what a sick world we live in. I remember hearing about the young man in NY, it was all over the news at the time. I guess that was the first murder.. I hope the police catch these sick people soon.

I just don't understand why people do these things. Also, someone else had to know...why do they keep quiet? It is beyond me the way some people think.

ah, I didn't think the guys were ever caught.

That's so bizarre Tink! What a world!

It might be some kind of gang initiation rite or something. There are gangs around here where people claim that a person has to murder someone to be initiated into the gang. The secrecy, threat of being revealed and the trust involved strengthens the bond of the gang.

That's very possible Marilyn. What ever it is, it's really sick. They pick college athletes who are some of the best students and somehow lure them away from their friends just long enough to get by with it. It's happened so much that I've asked my son and his male friends not to go party in the college towns near us. They're all the "right age" and I don't want them to be mistaken for college students and end up in the river.

Pond scum is higher on the food chain than these people are!

There was a story in my cosmo not long ago about this. About how this one college town had a ton of accidental drunken drownings & what to do to prevent them. I found it really strange myself while reading the article. I went to purdue & a lot of the bars are right on the wabash & i never heard of even one accidental drowning. I can't believe they didn't start looking into this sooner.

I heard about that several days ago. That is scary but thank goodness you're a girl. Do you know when the latest murders occurred? Better lock your doors anyway!

That is shocking! As a mom who will be sending her son off to college in a year...:eek:

My own son is turning 22 this month... and most of his friends are in their early 20's... so yes, it does worry me!

Oh that is scary, tink. Do you think he will listen to you and take it seriously or is he still in the "It won't happen to me" stage?

Thank God Joel's not much of a drinker. When he does drink he usually does it at home and invites his friends over and collects their keys as they pour their first one.
He had a DUI just over 3 yrs ago and luckily he learned his lesson.

He actually called me from the county jail about an hr away at 3 am and said "Mom, I'm in jail for a DUI.... don't suppose you'd want to come bail me out?" I said "You supposed right."
So he sat in jail till his hearing at 8 am and was led by 4 armed guards from his cell to the courtroom in shackles, an orange jumpsuit and flip flops 3 sizes too big. He said he was mortified. LOL Was the best thing that they could have done to him. To my knowledge he hasn't done it since.
He lost his license for a yr, and paid $2,700 worth of fines and court costs. I don't know which hurt more.
Some of his friends haven't learned that lesson yet though, so I do worry.

so alcohol has been found in each of the bodies? Sometimes they just like to make that assumption because of the age.

Yes, they've all been drinking... some huge amounts. One tested .4 something... he should have been dead from just that!

ugh, of course I did go through "the stage" when i was that age, but it was always in my own house. I just wish all the kids who think this is cool could see first hand what a life like this leads to. i saw a few in the nursing homes 9one was only 28) that drinking killed them. I think it should be court ordered to spend a day or so with someone like that for any drinking charge.
