And let me add, the fact that CC’s parents backed up a truck into his driveway a week after the murders and sifting through things in the home (much of which may have belonged to the wife), and carted it all away (to their home presumably) WITHOUT even the wife’s parents having had a chance to be allowed into the home to extricate some of their daughter’s belongings and possibly some those of the children as well, speaks volumes to me about that side of the family. Who gave his parents the right to do this without the wife’s parents being allowed there at the same time? I think that whole thing was in such poor and tacky taste. What kind of people do that? The mother and children were just barely buried, and they immediately found it necessary to enter the house to take things away. This is not right.

He did it. Neighbor said he heard arguing at 3 am. New forensic opinion by a consulted expert top puts the murders at 3 am to 5 am. He goes to the gym around 5 or 6 and while he’s working out, he stops to call and check on his wife? Instead of driving home he calls a neighbor at 7 to check on them? I wonder if the call went like this, “Morning, would you please go over to my house and officially discover the murder scene while I am not there so I won’t be considered a suspect?” The big question is why. Scott Peterson was a dirtbag who wanted to get rid of his wife and the stress of another mouth to feed. But Chris loved his sons and recently took them to a ball game. Why would he kill his wife and two sons in order to be with a mistress? Maybe because she wanted a divorce and half of what they own… and the reason he crossed the other line in strangling the boys is perhaps he felt they would always remind him of her and what he did. Regardless, killing your own children after raising them and having gotten to know and love them is beyond comprehension.

Brenda in Virginia-

I buried my father in February of this year. I held his hand and kissed his forehead before they closed his coffin. So I am about 100%
sure that you and I have very different beliefs.
That is the only response I am giving to your rampage.

Not that we can ever get into these people’s heads (not sure I’d want to), but here’s what one convicted murderer said about why he killed his two children in their beds after having murdered their Mom with an aluminum baseball bat:

“He told police he went on to kill his children while they slept because it was ‘the only control of their destiny I had left’ and that he did not want them to experience care with the Children’s Aid Society, like he did, court heard.”

(From a Jan. ’08 case in Canada – didn’t paste URL cuz not sure of policy on pasting here)

The Judge aptly called this man’s actions, “cruel, callous & cowardly”

Cowardly. Ain’t that the truth.

But he only got 19 years!!! Likely due to a crime-of-passion/heat-of-the-moment and 2-case-beer defense.

Too, the case was in Canada. I think they’re a little lighter on crime. Not sure.

Sweatpea, you are not retaining what you read in the affidavite becaise it CLEARLY states the family told him from the beginning if money was an issue they would cover every red cent. I think you really do live in a bubble of sorts…scared to face harsh realities of life because I am NOT shocked by one damn thing in this world.

Also, are you a Christian? If so, what would bother you about moving a dead body without a soul around? It IS NOT LONGER your loved one and to get technical…never was! They are spirit and the body is nothing more than a vessel. I refused to look into my dad’s casket because I knew it wasn’t him. When I die I do NOT want my family wasting one dear CENT on anything. Toss my no longer needed carcass to the freaking river for all I care. My spirit will be one place or another and the body is left behind to become worm food(dust to dust, remember?). It appauls me the money spent on funerals anyway. Both my husband and I are to be creamated and scattered on our land. I only wish my kids could instead light a torch to me up there so they wouldn’t have to waste the $$ on the cremation either!

Didn’t Christ tell the disciple who requested he be allowed time to stay and bury a relative “let the dead bury their dead?” I take that to mean WAY too much is put into funerals and the pomp and circumstance surrounding it. Why not like India and burn on a pyre? I love that idea myself..if I could that’s what I’d put in my will to have done to me. If my kids should die before me (please God not ever!) I would not have open casket just because I would want them remembered alive and would also do cremation. I personally wouldn’t want to see the body since they’re no longer in it.

I spoke to a funeral director during a funeral and mentioned to him, “I do NOT want any of this crap.” to which he responded, “neither do I. I’m getting cremated and put on a shelf I supposed after that.”

Brenda- respectfully, and not speaking for sweetpea, but her point was not religious, it was about the facts of the case. I fear we are going down a path on here justifying religious beliefs and this is not the intent of the article and not the appropriate forum, either. This is a general comment I am making, not to one person.

Lastly, I never said sweetpea lived in a bubble, I told her to get in a protective one because as she pointed out herself, she is not ready to grab the torch and head up the mountain. I applaud her for standing her ground, and making her own decisions about someone’s guilt or innocense. Now, when they arrest him and he is convicted or he pleads guilty, she will be on here in a heartbeat saying she was wrong, its her “caliber”. However, she should never have to. This is a true crime victim advocate site, not a catillion. Let’s stick to the issue with respect to one anothers views please. As long as a poster conveys a difference of opinion based on an absence of facts and is polite and respectful, they are encouraged to do so here without fear of reprisal.
