When A Killer Realizes His Victim Tricked Him

I'll be completely honest. I wanted to kill someone for a long time. It's like an impulse and it was kind of a moment where I was able to get it out. You wanted Steve to be pretty excited. It definitely wasn't his first time. Like yeah, it's amazing, you'll get used to it, Chris, it gets addictive, but we'll deal with it

when

an unthinkably brutal crime rocks the small town of Mount Vernon. Both the police and residents of New Hampshire are desperate to stop the monsters before they can. They attack again, but as the hunting case begins to unravel, they soon realize that no one could have prevented the truly evil acts that were about to be set in motion, as it would turn out that a group known as the Disciples of The Destruction would stop at nothing to make his twisted dreams of violence, horror and Gore a sick reality and yet not everything went according to his plan, the

killer

soon learned that one of his

victim

s was still alive.

I'm one of those chivalrous, chivalrous guys that I don't even hit girls let alone go out and treat them badly if the girls in the hospital obviously she probably got hurt or something, it's funny you should mention that because I want you to know that she will survive, fortunately, that's good, yes, that's real. Good home for about 2,000 people. Mount Vernon is most notable for its quaint and quiet reputation, with little to no crime. The quiet town was never expected to be the scene of one of the most shocking murder cases the nation has ever seen. The Cates family lived in the community, including 42-year-old Kimberly, her husband David, and her eleven-year-old daughter Jamie.

They resided in a beautiful neighborhood located on Tro Road, where growing forestry created a peaceful expanse of land. Kimberly was a pediatric nurse and David was an engineer, but the most rewarding job they shared was being parents to the bright and outgoing Jamie. They were a happy family, but sadly they could not have foreseen the horrors that awaited them in the near future. It was not unusual for David to travel on occasional business trips leaving Kimberly and Jamie at home, but he had installed an alarm system inside the house that would contact local authorities in the unlikely event of an emergency and to increase her peace of mind, Kimberly He had also made an agreement with one of his neighbors that he promised to keep an eye on each other's properties, although due to the city's low crime rate, the idea that Troll Road residents could be

victim

s of crime was never considered before. for David to leave for his trip on Saturday, October 3, 2009.

The house's alarm system had unexpectedly failed leaving it inoperable. Despite this, the family remained indifferent, but

when

David walked out that door for another work trip, he could never have imagined that the world he knew was about to be tragically taken from him; was another. Typical weekend for the mother-daughter duo where they made plans to go shopping at the local mall the next day and possibly stopped by Jamie's karate studio, at least that's what Kimberly had messaged David earlier. She and Jamie went to bed around 8:30. She often slept in her parents' room while David was away and this weekend was no different from the hotel in Maryland.

David sent a goodnight message to his family around four in the morning on October 4, 2009. He made a chilling 9-1-1 call to a local. The dispatcher's voice was that of a little girl, soft and quiet and very difficult to hear, but what the dispatcher could make out were the whimpers of a terrified child crying for help, unable to clearly understand what the girl had been saying a while ago. time. The police officer was immediately dispatched to the Fortrow Road address, upon arrival the officer briefly searched the exterior of the house while waiting for the other squads to appear before being able to complete a circle of the property, he noticed slight movement outside the home.

With the corner of his eye coming from inside the house, getting closer and closer to the house, he looked through a kitchen window where he located a vague image of someone who seemed to be hiding behind the counter, staring at the petrified girl. , the officer was overcome by a wave of Horror from what was before him, the girl was lying on the ground with her entire body covered in blood and a part of her foot had been cut off, someone had mutilated the vulnerable girl by knocking down the front door, the officer finally managed to enter where he found the little girl.

The girl was shaking and paralyzed by fear horribly trying to scream and scream, however nothing came out when she was finally able to speak, she quickly gave her name Jamie, the officer immediately took Jaime outside where he asked her if there were other people in the house, she responded Saying that only her mother was in the bedroom, however, in a heartbreaking plea, she begged him not to leave her side, the officer comforted the young woman by telling her that she needed to search the residence for anyone who could be heard. and promised her that she was safe outside.

Another officer approached Petrified Jamie, where they could see that not only had her foot been severed, but she had also suffered multiple lacerations to her head, legs, arms, and torso. When asked how she had received her injuries, she responded by saying that a guy had a knife. and another had a bat and hit my horrified mom, the officer asked if Jamie had any idea who the perpetrators were and although he couldn't identify any of his attackers, he remembered that one had been bald, however, he also told him to the authorities. They told him to get the jewelry and then he told the police that she survived by pretending that she was dead.

Additional help soon arrived and that's when they discovered all the gruesome contents waiting inside the house. The authorities were able to follow the blood-stained man. Footprints on the carpet of the hallway leading back to the master bedroom, what they found upon entering could only be described as a chamber of horror, not a single member of law enforcement could comprehend the enormous amounts of blood that had encompassed almost every inch. Into the room and then found something even more disturbing, the officers could barely stand the absolute atrocity before them. Lying in the blood-soaked bed was Jamie's mother, Kimberly, who had been savagely murdered and seriously injured.

Jaime was immediately rushed to the hospital, but there was nothing. Not knowing if he would survive after the sickening discovery, the authorities were left with a mountain of questions, the most important thing was to discover who had unleashed such an evil attack on a mother and her son in an attempt to establish the reason why they began searching at the home and discovered that several pieces of jewelry had been taken, they also discovered that the basement window had been forced open with the screen carefully placed on the floor, along with this, the air conditioning unit that had been placed in a window above The deck was missing another possible entry point to the home south of the residence tire tracks could be seen along the dirt road and footprints were located inside the front yard when word spread of the brutal attack, the close-knit community was plagued with fear, but what became even scarier was that The Haunting Whispers headed to Mount Vernon from the nearby town of Brookline, just 20 minutes away, apparently a resident had been visiting a friend's house. on Sunday, October 4, and was introduced to a couple of young men also from Brookline.

The meeting initially seemed to be a harmless occasion, but it would quickly take a dark and unexpected turn. Before long, the new friends had divulged a sick and twisted secret, claiming that a mother and her son had just been killed, while another group of friends watched the other customers say in disbelief as they listened to what they thought had been a ploy. of fear of the two or a cruel joke, but as you will discover, the truth behind this heartbreaking case will only emerge after a series of horrible discoveries. The thrill of committing the crime may have worn off, so the attackers were trying to relive the attack and experienced Rush Again.

When describing it to their friends, they probably enjoyed the attention and shock of others and were potentially sure that there was no evidence. linking them to the crime, suggesting that they may have believed they were smarter than the police, however, they were not smart enough when the authorities learned of the chilling rumors and were on a Mad Dash to track down the mysterious young men they were with. they would convert. Being Christopher Gribble, 19, and Stephen Spater, 17, a day after the horrific crime, both were brought in for questioning. It was rather strange that Christopher, of all people, had been asked to speak to the police, given the background of an old Eagle.

Scout Christopher was a proud member of the Mormon church and was working toward his goal of becoming a missionary. He had been homeschooled from an early age, where his parents worked tirelessly to instill proper values. This also coincided with Christopher's time in the Boy Scouts. where he had given back to his community by supposedly building a shed for the Brookline Transfer Station, a drop-off site for waste and recyclables, although things weren't always as perfect as they seemed, it was no secret that Christopher had struggled with the social part of his life where making friends became an almost impossible task; the few who did remember his awkward demeanor and tendency for him to ramble during conversation, in addition to these social cues, were a somewhat foreign concept to the eagle scout, making the situation quite difficult.

Childhood humans have a fundamental need to connect with other people when someone cannot or has great difficulty forming even platonic relationships, this can be a red flag for a personality disorder, however they continued with their aspirations. to one day become a Marine and enlisted. at the U.S. Army Corps of Cadets in Nashua, New Hampshire, where he earned academic and good conduct honors; Unfortunately, the excellent student would fail the training course in 2008. It was at this time that Christopher's friends and family noticed a strange change in his behavior and he will soon discover exactly why that date is: October 5, 2009, only One day after Kimberly's body is found, the detective reads Christopher his Miranda rights before jumping straight into the long-awaited interrogation, the next thing ever heard before.

The interviews have been analyzed by a qualified team that includes a licensed attorney, a licensed clinical psychologist, a former licensed professional counselor, and a licensed professional counselor. What time do you get angry? Probably 10 something is fine, that means David plans to walk around and look at some garden. sales well, the pair of friends had supposedly visited a couple of local garage sales but couldn't find anything worth buying after the unsuccessful purchase. Christopher drove Stephen back home, but this would not be the last time they would see each other on this day. As Saturday night approaches, now you guys make plans for Saturday night, you know, weekend night we're going to do something, we weren't just going to our show like at Walmart or something.

Who do you tell me? Steve Billy, uh Quinn. a friend of ours but he couldn't go out that night, he's fine, he tried and you know he ended up staying home. Well, that's what you guys ended up doing. Well, we went to Walmart with Billy, I guess we had things. do and that's why he didn't get there until later, when the detective asks Christopher if that's really what they did. Christopher avoids answering the question directly, which is a red flag of possible deception; he may be trying to buy some time to think about what he should say, and he also mentions two new people, seventeen-year-old Quinn Glover. , and William Marks, 18, also known as Billy, who had been part of a group of friends with Christopher and Stephen, although Billy and Christopher had only met a week ago.

Before you and Steve went to Walmart and then Billy ran into each other at some point, I think we did. I'm pretty sure it was this Saturday, but we did well. Christopher uses a selective memory statement of I think and then a qualifier of pretty sure. There are additional red flags for possible deception: the event you are describing happened only two days ago, so it is something you need to remember and be sure you can realize that if you want to pretend that you have a bad memory, then you need your memory. being poor on days that do not involve crime and murder;

However, the detective will probably be able to confirm or deny the story.Christopher's events based on possible surveillance footage or eyewitness statements which Christopher may be becoming aware of now and this is around midnight when you Meet Billy, yeah how long were they there before? Well we can totally stay at Walmart, to be honest I didn't really remember it much. Yeah, I remember hanging out, but I don't remember doing much or anything. Someone who is being deceptive is more likely to give a base of answers, they would want to leave open the possibility of changing their story if necessary, such as if a detective presents evidence that they were actually somewhere different than what they said, if a suspect gives a definitive alibi without a doubt. alterations, then it will be much more difficult to adjust the story later; furthermore, Christopher may feel that he should be careful with what he says in case one of his friends gives a different account and then says that they went somewhere else. .

Friend's House 19-year-old Autumn Savoy in Autumns Christopher remembers watching the popular show Dexter and begins to describe his fascination with the series. The basic principle, I think, is that he is addicted to blood and things that he really likes flooding because he kills people. also why it probably sounds really bad in the homicide investigation saying we were watching that, but to be honest, you know, we found him really entertaining because he works as a blood expert for the police department and he goes out when he finds people that they can't get evidence or someone who has done something really incredibly evil in general.

Assassins, well, you know, he goes out and kills them in this ritualistic way, but he doesn't really like to show it by killing them or anything like that. What's a little creepy is Christopher's interest in the character and the fact that he's going into so much detail. about the show, it seems like he doesn't think this makes him look suspicious, he even goes on to claim that they watched several hours of the show before he and Steven slept in his car, which the detectives find quite strange, how is that possible? The kids didn't sleep um there's only two couches inside yeah so I just stayed in the car because it keeps the heat pretty well.

The couple had allegedly left Autumn's house around seven or eight in the morning before Christopher drove Stephen back to his house. They met up again that afternoon at 1:30 and visited more local garage sales. Turns out they were in desperate need of money, and as luck would have it, Christopher said they were able to buy a decent amount of jewelry for just twenty. dollars from a particular sale, we'll now find out exactly what they did with the Newfound merchandise while meeting our additional suspect. Stephen, the detective, asked questions similar to those in Christopher's interrogation, where Stephen tells the same story.

I just went down and discovered. that someone at the mall you and someone else went there and put on some jewelry, that's right, I didn't, my friend, Kristen, Kristen, you wanted you to be with Chris and you guys went there, someone recognizes you as if you were there, It's okay, I was there. Well, we come down to yes, particular points and things like the Jewish thing. I don't know why that's illegal. No, it is not. You already know part of what we have done. I'm trying to create a timeline of where you are so we can talk. each of us know he went at two past one in the morning you said you were at Walmart on 101st and Amherst but we're going to go back, we're going to check it out okay he says he was here he was.

It's okay when a suspect acts defensively like Steven does here, this can be a red flag for deception, but his age can be a factor in his behavior. The logical part of the brain known as the prefrontal cortex is not fully developed until around age one. age 25 and even a few years later for men, which may partly explain why teenagers and children tend to act based on their emotions rather than thinking things through. It's also possible that Stephen sees the interview as a huge inconvenience to him - well, what did Chris Paul do to him? new gold necklaces I didn't really look at it don't tell me it was she told me it was worth money I needed money for marijuana Christopher and Steven had recently become friends again after previously knowing each other during their time in the Boy Scout years later, Somehow they would reconnect over the same interests and Stephen, like his friend, had grown up with his own problems, as Steven's mother was supposedly struggling with addiction during her pregnancy.

Stephen tested positive for illegal substances at birth, but he would go on to prevail. against the odds and was adopted by a loving family at just five days old during his childhood Stephen was a picture of outgoing and personable happiness given every opportunity in life he participated in several sports and joined both the Boy Scouts and a group of theater, all of which gave him the opportunity to make friends, but once he approached adolescence it was as if a switch had been turned off in an instant. The once adorable boy turned cold and became uncontrollable. This would later be confirmed by one of his close friends, Autumn, who had a lot to say. let's say about the troubled young man, I just knew Steve was getting worse from talking to him and then at some point he left, I don't know exactly where, when he came back he wasn't the same person, he wasn't that emo kid who had problems at home he was a kid who wanted to be a gangster a big drug dealer like he was weird because somehow he always managed to have money for drugs she sneaked out at night he quote unquote borrowed his parents cars like We'd go out a lot, he was someone he could talk to, he understood that it was nice to have someone else who understood that his mood swings could happen in the blink of an eye, leaving his friends and family walking on eggshells, but What's worse, Steven was developing violent tendencies, his mother.

Christine Spader noted that at one point Stephen had punched a wall out of sheer frustration during a memorable incident. Stephen and his father were having a heated argument and the Rage-involved teen allegedly pulled out a knife and began associating with kids from different high schools. where he apparently joined a gang known as the Crips, although his father, also named Stephen, believed this to be nothing more than teenage nonsense, and he also took recreational and prescription medications to help with his supposed anxiety. Steven's parents became increasingly concerned about his rebellious teenager. and finally took him to see a psychiatrist in 2006.

Steven's behavior indicates that he sometimes showed signs of having a conduct disorder when the behavioral problems are sudden and severe, as in Steven's case, which occurs due to some type of trauma or major stressor in The Young Person's. life and because Stephen was taking such a dangerous path, his parents allegedly spent thousands of dollars in an attempt to help his son; However, he was eventually diagnosed with bipolar disorder and major depression, apparently going so far as to enroll him in addiction. treatment center, but were devastated to learn that he needed a higher level of treatment than the center could offer.

Stephen was then taken to a residential treatment facility, but left after a month. Another failed appeal; He even spent a few days in psychiatric hospitals in 2008 and allegedly ran away with his girlfriend later that year, but was found in New York and returned home a few days later. It seemed there was nothing left to try, but the devoted parents would never give up on their son, even though nothing could have prevented the The atrocious acts of the monster that was about to be unleashed date back to early Sunday morning. Okay, I'll add more information when it was down.

Yes, Billy is basically quitting. This may be an example of the prisoner's dilemma that Stephen now faces. the decision to confess or continue with his story, if Billy doesn't say anything and Stephen doesn't say anything, there may not be enough evidence to link them to the crime and they won't face any punishment; However, if Billy has spoken out and implicated Stephen, Stephen may face harsher punishment if he does not give his side of the story, but if Stephen confesses his role and Billy has also admitted his part, they will both likely be punished. The prisoner's dilemma is a very effective tactic because Stephen is separated from the others, he does not know what they are saying or if they have cracked under the pressure, if he knew for sure that the others were not talking, he would feel more confident in maintaining his original story, but the seeds of doubt are probably biting him now leaving him panicking about what to do, let out forever well, I mean, I accused you all along.

I'm trying to tell you what I know and what I discovered, if you want a lawyer, all you have to say. is that I want to turn is that what is telling me well this is all voluntarily I don't know why I can't get that out right now I want to leave I would like to leave right now I've been told that you're You're not leaving, let's go because there's enough. I think there is enough information about where you left the crime scene and that you are someone who caused this city. Hey? Alright. You are asking for a lawyer.

You are asking me to speak voluntarily with you. now you are telling me that I can't leave and that I didn't do anything I want you to let me out okay, I don't want to smoke a cigarette okay frustrated the detectives must finish the interrogation Stephen may refuse to believe his friend has betrayed him, but since Later we will hear from Billy, he was ready to confess, in the meantime, there are still some things that Christopher's interrogators would like to cover and right now I'm going to tell you that there are some others. stories that are being told, you need to think carefully right now about what happened this weekend, okay, okay, let's go back to Saturday night, okay, what happened after you left your friends, there's a party you go to you went, I was pretty sure I'm back. at home, but he's fine, I mean, he has a lot of Steve, the confrontation phase of the interrogation is already underway, but Christopher sticks to his original story, even though the detectives don't believe it, what do you know about what happened there in Mount Vernon?

All I know. it's like this morning, like very early this morning, we were searching the internet on the telegraph to see what was going on and there was something about um, there was a lady murdered in Mount Vernon um and there's like a little girl that's in stable condition in in the hospital, I don't know if it was me or one of Steve's friends or something, someone texted one of us or emailed, remember we heard that the girl was possibly in the same class as one of our friends or sisters or something I'm guessing she's about 10 years old and I honestly hope she's okay because it's a horrible thing to do to a little girl, but it's common in reading technique for investigators to ask what the suspect thinks is the purpose of the interview.

People who are honest are more likely to use realistic words to describe the crime, while people who are deceptive may respond vaguely or use mild words like hurt or attack instead of murder. Christopher's use of the word murdered here is in line with what a truthful subject might say. however, your reference to the girl in the hospital is vague, this may be an example of how most people who are deceptive do not answer all questions in a deceptive manner, people usually provide a mix of deceptive and truthful behaviors, but there will be more. Misleading indicators when someone is lying and more truthful indicators when someone is being honest.

That's why it's important for detectives to interpret body language and verbal responses along with actual physical evidence. I mean, I know it sounds cold, but it wasn't a big deal. For me because I didn't know, even though Christopher hasn't been formally diagnosed with antisocial personality disorder, it's always interesting when people like psychopaths use language like this because it shows their awareness of what empathy or lack of empathy is, but also their ability to be manipulative. To assume that someone specifically tried to kill them that way grates on my conscience personally. I'm one of those gentlemanly Chevrolet guys who doesn't even hit girls much less go out and treat them badly.

Christopher's statement here may be what is known. As a convincing statement, people who tell the truth usually don't feel the need to back up their story with convincing statements about what a great person they are because they know the facts are on their side, on the other hand, people who deceive may use this type of statements to bolster their image and persuade the detectives to believe them, it's the girls in the hospital, obviously she was probably hurt or something, it's funny, you should mention it because I want you to know that she will survive, fortunately, that'sWell.

Yes, that's very good because it's very good because she deserves to be alive and also, yes, you know that, but you know what else is good, it's good because she could identify the two people in the house, that would be amazing, I hope you . can do that, Christopher's voice is a little shakier and he generally sounds less sure of himself here as the detectives try to break his trust and, although Christopher expresses relief that Jamie is expected to survive, he's probably entering panicking at the thought of her identifying him. Let's say it was a robbery gone wrong Mom ends up dead Girl ends up seriously injuring the people involved in this Now what do you think should happen to those people?

Well, they should probably be sent to jail for the rest of their lives in prison. Obviously I don't know what the difference is between jail and prison, although Christopher's answer sounds good at first glance, it's a red flag that he qualified his answer with the word "probably the most truthful people would give a firm answer in a situation like This one if the officers had doubts about their involvement before they definitely don't anymore. What seems to force you to me is the car and why do you think that is like that? Maybe a car like that has just been seen in the area? and then you're checking that clue, it very well may not have been me.

I could have been driving down that road right when it happened, which scares me a little because what if they had left the house and needed a getaway car and He killed me for my car, that makes me nervous. I probably won't drive there much anymore. This statement indicates that not only does he know the exact area the police are referring to, but he won't go there again. his part, as Christopher was probably trying to convince the detectives that not only was he not involved in the crime, but he might even have been the Killer's next victim;

However, in doing so, he apparently confirmed that he had been in that area, as well as asking the suspect to elaborate on his knowledge of the evidence. This is a common way to get them to talk and a possible opportunity for them to make mistakes. Let's say you were on that road that night, assuming I was. That scares me to show us that I should do it, because not only does it make me a suspect, obviously, since you're questioning me, but that really scares me that someone who would be willing to attack even if they were just trying to get out of the house, a woman and a girl, of course, will attack me for my car like I have never done before.

My car was stolen, but I have been afraid at times, apparently while driving on Saturday night. Christopher and Stephen traveled to Mount Vernon. Christopher claims that they eventually pulled into a driveway on one of the back roads to go to the bathroom, but he doesn't clearly remember where they were, unsurprisingly, the detectives find this to be more than suspicious, but instead of confronting Christopher, they change the subject to a new topic: the gang Stephen had recently formed, the Disciples of Destruction, seeking to achieve a sense of brotherhood. Along with financial prosperity, he recruited none other than Christopher Billy and Quinn.

The group's core values ​​consisted of loyalty and violence, and the only way to commit a crime was for the recruit to invade a home and get rid of anyone who might be inside. Since Christopher was having problems at home, he wanted more than anything to be a part of something where he could express himself freely. Christopher had been accusing his mother of physical and emotional abuse for quite some time, claiming that she would allegedly throw him to the ground and make him explode. acne on his back they spanked him and required him to carry a vacuum cleaner around the house.

The allegations were never confirmed, but his mother did recall a time when she had spanked the boy so hard with a wooden spoon that the utensil broke. She would later admit that she regretted losing control, but has since denied any of the other accusations and there is no evidence they are true. However, during his early teenage years, Christopher began to have dark and twisted fantasies about his mother and he wished that she would one day fulfill them by confessing. his bad thoughts to a counselor at the Cadet Camp he allegedly expressed his thoughts of wanting to cut his mother into pieces and hearing her scream like I screamed the counselor horrified by what they had heard immediately notified Christopher's parents who were absolutely shocked by the confession and did not wait long to take Christopher for a psychological evaluation, the psychiatrist concluded that he had been showing signs of antisocial personality disorder, but that he was too young to be formally diagnosed, despite the creepy fantasies, the teenager was not considered a threat to society. or at least that's what was decided at the time, if these dark and twisted fantasies were simply expressed as Christopher's angry thoughts towards a supposedly abusive mother, it would be difficult to commit him to a psychiatric facility, plus psychiatric hospitalizations are usually limited to days. or weeks at most, it is rare for patients to be hospitalized for months unless they have a very serious mental illness, so although Christopher showed all the signs of being a danger to society, it is difficult for his parents, his counselor or your psychiatrist do it. anything that prevents him from one day acting on those thoughts unfortunately in many cases it is only when the person acts that steps are taken to prevent him from harming others again in anger and frustration it seems to be a great moment when he and Stephen reconnected in 2009, what would you do if Steve put you in a difficult situation?

Would you stop him or follow him and deal with the consequences later? I would definitely stop it because I don't. I don't tolerate things from anyone. to some extent if he is going to smoke cigarettes and is almost 18 years old. I don't care, we're not talking, we're not talking about smoking cigarettes, so yeah, we're not talking about drinking beer if you're underage, no, I'm just using. I'm talking about serious things. I don't think you really understand the big picture. You were here for a reason. Okay, you want to know what the other guys who are talking about cigarettes are talking about, so you better start thinking really hard and get your head out.

Get off your ass and stop telling us what happened on Saturday night because it doesn't look very good for you people are talking about something different than what you're telling us this was Saturday night this wasn't three months ago Saturday night this was Saturday night Now it's Monday, you shouldn't have any doubts about what you did, you just called us, you don't use drugs, you don't drink, no, you have no reason to have this memory loss. I just don't put anything up in a long time. -term memory, unless it's in, let's take a deep breath and think carefully about what happened Saturday night, this is the prisoner's dilemma.

He would play again this time with Christopher as the receiver, probably believing that his selective memory is a safe bet at this point, as it leaves the door open for him to suddenly remember something later in a justice story; However, what he doesn't seem to realize is that having a memory of extremes like this is very suspicious, with this in mind the detectives are hoping to corner Christopher but the teenager refuses to budge although this won't last long well I can't tell you. nothing but what I think I did what you think you did don't tell me what you think you did tell me what you did okay be a man and tell me what you did we got in the car and left I mean we don't do anything on Saturday nights we just drive, the issue comes down to what your role was and what happened.

Saturday night, do you really think we did that? I think you know who did something. I think you know what happened there. I think you have knowledge about what happened there, which can help us with our investigation. Chris, the first question stands out as possible. indication of deception, someone telling the truth is more likely to flatly deny any involvement in a firm tone of voice, but Christopher's is weak and his question clearly lacks any real denial. The detective is also using an alternative explanation that minimizes the suspect's role in the crime. by stating that Christopher has knowledge of it, but without accusing him of participating in the act itself, you really think we did it, don't tell anyone you did it, no, no, you didn't tell anyone. us right now that you told them that you slit that girl's throat, that would be a lie, yes, that would be a lie, I would never hurt a girl, much less a girl, that would be horrible, stop telling us, Chris, please that you entered. that house because right now it's not a question, if it is a question, why were we driving, who just Steve and I, you and Steve and what happened next, we drove, maybe we stopped and took a pee break and then we arrived.

I got back in the car and drove more times. Look, this is what Chris you feel like you're giving us enough to explain what you think we might know or things we might have and you're thinking that'll be enough. later you can say well I told you well I said that well I can explain to you that you do not know everything we know rest assured when I know rest assured that you do not know everything we know during the interrogation one of the detectives has been leaving the room to retrieve information from the other interviews taking place with Billy Quinn Stephen and Autumn and Christopher doesn't know that his friends weren't so willing to hide the truth it's okay to tell the truth it's okay to tell what happened is to tell the truth because society is going to come out with its own version of all this you already have to read the newspaper, read the telegraph, it's just a paragraph online, okay, if that's all, you read well, but I bet in that paragraph I can summarize what is the journalist's attitude about the whole thing is that there is an animal out there hacking people killing people in their own home in the middle of the night that is an animal that is a murderer oh yes that is someone that needs to be killed themselves. guy like you, come on, you're not going to have garage sales on a weekend, come on, buddy, no, no, that jewelry is going to be traced back to that house and we're going to check the records of anything else you've pawned because even You said they take your name, your license number, all that information, the amount of that other jewelry and those other assets that you pawned.

Let's go back to other thieves who were this simple, the ones I have known the most. Ready, I was like nine years old. I tried to grab some Pokémon stickers for my KD toys. Stop minimizing. Stop, we're not talking, we're not talking about smoking when you're under 18. We're not talking about stealing Pokémon stickers. We're talking about murder, I don't do that, you may not have done that, but someone in that house was there. Investigators again put forward the alternative theory that appears to minimize the seriousness of the crime which is intended in part to keep the suspect talking and eventually being willing to admit something and eventually the truth of his role in the crime.

However, Christopher refuses to waver on his original story, invoking that the murder of an Eagle Scout is not a core value. Chris, let me ask you this. Been on the Nashville River, does that mean anything to you? I don't know what river the Nashua River is now you don't know eventually River lately no, I don't know no, you haven't been by a river lately unless you hear Me driving on one or Crossing out Minimize Stop dancing about it John has told you asked a very specific question: Have you been on a river lately? Yes or no.

I think I've been in the river next to the hatch. When was this? Hello two. nights ago maybe yesterday you would go by the river flop I parked alone we threw in the river Chris what did you throw in the river what did you throw in the river Chris I didn't throw anything in the river what did you throw in the river I didn't ask you if you did what they threw in the river nothing nothing me I didn't throw anything away you lie in Christ we have proof that you're lying you know what happens to people who cut girls in prison you know what happens to them Do you know that no, I've never been to prison?

Yeah, well, you know what you're going to find out and arrest me, my God, what were you thinking, what were you thinking when you were hatching from her, cutting her, hearing her scream, we? You smiled, you were smiling, weren't you, you're so sick, you're that sick animal that went in there for the sole purpose of carrying that because the other guys might have thought it was just a robbery, they're just going to browse a little. jewels, go make some money, be done with it, but you went in there with another plan, you went there to kill like that, that Rush, that adrenaline gave you you liked it until the lights came on, the reality here saw the damage that you had done to the detectives. have gone from blaming Stephen to making Christopher the real ringleader, they have tried to portray him as the victim who simply followed them, but since that tactic didn't work, their next option is to evoke anger or guilt in the hope that he will count.

The truth is that it is possible thatHe silently made his way to the back door where Christopher and Quinn were waiting outside and finally found Billy. In the basement and proceeded with their depraved plan upon entering, they noticed the residents had motion detectors in hopes of bypassing the system. Christopher quickly located the switches next to the front door cutting the power in a second as they began searching for jewelry and The iPod was discovered in one of several rooms, probably Jamie's using the light from the iPod's screen to guide his way. . Steven led the sadistic pact towards the master bedroom where Kimberly and her daughter were sleeping peacefully when Stephen quietly opened the master bedroom door, looked in and said there were people, but Connie said there weren't people so he started to relax for a bit. little and began to speak, he began to go down more quietly, then he shone the light on the bed and that was when they woke up.

Well, the mother said something like that. Genie, it's you, Stevie, through the light, she walked around to the side of the bed where the girl was apparently sleeping. I started to turn around to the other side in case something happened. The mother sat on the bed and began to ask who was there, what was happening. I tried to turn on the lamp and it didn't turn on, yeah when it did Steve started cutting the bed with the machete, okay they started screaming because they heard something that apparently he missed the most but I heard him hit them. everything, so I lunged and stabbed her a couple of times in the chest.

Steve was just cutting it, he completely missed it. He was controlled but I didn't really feel much or anything, yeah okay I thought I would but I didn't. Quinn and Billy Dylan stood by the door and did nothing. Oh, honestly, we did everything. The girl jumped. I almost felt during the darkness that she got up and jumped on her mother. SD was cutting and she jumped right in. My arms um, I stabbed her once towards the face and then I went to the front because I was swinging and she let go of my hand and flew towards the glass door, she hit her head, um, stop crying completely, she's Well, I thought I was probably toast.

Yes, mom was still gurgling and breathing deeply. Steve simply went towards her. Actually, he was a little afraid of her. He walked up and kicked the girl a couple of times with his steel toe boots and then hit her in the head with the machete, at least that's what he said that wasn't even why, yeah, he was backing away because he knew Steve I was losing control. Tell me, then she turned around, she looked like Jason from Halloween, you remember the Machete Museum and that was it and I said, Steve, relax, it's just me, it's Chris, she was breathing hard and relaxing.

Quinn had the good sense to flip the switches back on. such a long line, yes, in fact, Quinn couldn't believe the horror before her eyes when the mother woke up, made a comment, I thought it said Jamie Ryan or something, you know, and you covered your ears and ran, I didn't I ran, I walked. leave the room, okay, that's because you knew what the purpose of being there was. I guess I didn't believe it was really happening. I was surprised that there were people at home. I was shocked that this was actually happening and I walked down the hall because I didn't want to face reality, the mom obviously isn't going to make it, the girl I was pretty sure wasn't going to make it and she was completely out, there was blood everywhere according to Christopher's description of Stephen's behavior, apparently. that Stephen was experiencing an anger blackout similar to those that people with anger management problems struggle with; the person often acts in a very primitive way as was the case with Stephen and how he brutally murdered Kimberly Christopher.

Kimberly's actions are calmer and the more methodical evidence of this can go. to show many things, among them a sense of self-control and understanding that denies any type of blameworthiness. Defense, a court-appointed psychiatrist could interview Christopher and easily determine that she understood the nature of his acts and that she knew it at the time. of the crime that they were wrong, however, it is possible that he wanted to present himself as someone who maintained control because he believed that it made him appear stronger compared to Stephen, for someone with antisocial personality disorder, they could consider losing control very negative , as you often see. themselves as superior to others, whether she lost it or not, the result of her twisted idea of ​​fun was something beyond her worst nightmare horribly, so Kimberly had been hit with the machete on the head and the torso 36 times, while his daughter had suffered 18 serious injuries, including a punctured lung, a fractured elbow, a broken skull and a partially amputated foot after the murder.

Quinn had unexpectedly turned the lights back on, forcing them to look at the disturbing scene; However, this may have given them even more of the gratification they so desired. Although the perpetrators were convinced that her job was done, they underestimated how petrified that 11-year-old girl really was. Jamie lay on the blood-stained floor as her attackers stole some pieces of jewelry before fleeing the scene pretending that she had succumbed to her injuries. Jaime was able to escape the cruel fate that they had so ruthlessly tried to impose on him. He was able to gather all his strength and dial 9-1-1.

When someone encounters a threat, they may stop all movement and ring in an attempt to hide from any threat, also known as the freeze response, the idea is that by drawing as little attention as possible to themselves they can minimize the danger by doing so, There's no doubt that Jaime showed an incredible amount of courage and although it seems like we've heard every creepy detail from Christopher Billy is suddenly quite reluctant to tell the full story. You never go into that master bedroom. No, you never confront these people. Your knife was never used. Well, did I ever know this?

It's a hard thing for you, do you ever see the people you don't want to talk about, whether you've seen them or not? Yeah, just that whole part. Billy's responses have been brief and, while not completely avoidant, they have been limited. This could be taken into account. one of two ways: either he is guilty and tries to hide his crimes, even feeling remorse or disgust for what he participated in, or he is a traumatized bystander who had no idea what was going to happen and whose brain blocked out much of the memory for good measure. protective.

To some extent we know that our brain is able to protect itself from traumatic events in this way, but this is also a terribly convenient excuse that someone can use when trying to avoid openly and honestly retelling the events that occurred, despite this, the detective He informs Billy that Forensic evidence will always prove fact from fiction, so it is in his best interest to be completely transparent. He finally admits to having set foot in the master bedroom for a short period of time. I don't remember, so I hope I don't know why people do that. I just walked in and saw that and you saw what Philly.

I know he's a type of guy. I know he has it. You know, I don't know. Did you see the woman? Yes, where was she in the bush alive? I, yeah, I didn't. I think she's fine, did you choose a little girl? Yeah, where was she? She was on the ground and she was alive at the time. She work shop. You want to touch any of them. No, you're nice. Do you ever touch any of them? Did you let me know? To anyone that night, the fact that Billy even brought a knife to the robbery indicates that he may have intended to use it;

On the other hand, the knife possibly helped Billy feel strong so that he could muster the courage to enter the house and commit the crime. However, it seems that the robbery was too much for him to handle the violence, blood and death, and you guys sat down before Saturday and talked about college, well, I didn't put you first, I don't know what you did to them. You're telling me right now that you're looking me in the eye and telling me that you've never worked with a broker before. Written in part of this, okay, we haven't heard any of those guys talk about killing people like they're joking, yeah, but okay. we're like joking with your mouth, you know, it's normal, you know, I'll kill you, you know, kids just say that all the time, so there's no teachers, people like that, but they don't like to share or the seriousness of kill someone who is manipulative.

Killers will often seek out their partners using a certain pattern, as we see here, they will joke about things like crime and murder to see who is totally repulsed by it and not a potential accomplice and who will let it slide, eventually taking it further down the line. path. of jokes or actions about dark crimes until the other person is complicit in something serious with no way of escape, this may have been the case with Stephen, although Billy claims that there was never an orchestrated plan and he thought that the mutual understanding between the group was It would be a robbery and nothing more, but it was later revealed that he and Stephen had previously explored Troll Road in search of a house to rob, even telling a friend on Saturday, October 3 that Stevie was planning a home invasion, Not only this, but Billy had been showing off.

His assisted opening knife supposedly said he was planning to use it on a police officer or someone else, honestly, so he wasn't planning on that. He was just there for the moment. He just wanted to do it a little quick, but what was I? I thought I felt the same. I honestly couldn't tell you what they did. Their intentions were that they had a plan if they had confronted anyone. No? I guess they also told you what that plan was if they had faced that much. I listened well so yes I did but they told me that if there were people in the house things Accord whatever you know would get pissed off that's what I thought would be happening but when they told you it was probably a day or two before maybe you had talked from a runner where you weren't that specific beforehand supposedly Stephen had even asked a friend to research how to make the dangerous concoction, he wanted me to research how to make chloroform and I was fine no matter what he did.

I don't see it as a big deal because I know Steve owns copies of the anarchist and terrorist cookbook, knowing Steve and his history. I took everything I heard with a grain of salt because as far as you know, Steve was like a brother. For me, I couldn't really trust the words of what Steve actually said because he was telling these stories to Brandy and there would be no one for Cooper to corroborate anything he said, apparently the Friday before the attack. Steven had told Autumn that he had a plan in mind for that weekend, but he didn't want to reveal any details to his friend.

The reason was that he wanted Autumn to stay out of trouble. However, Steven will involve him soon enough despite Stephen and Christopher's supposed plan. Billy claims that they did. After all, they didn't bring the chloroform while the girl was struggling to call the police, the attackers quickly fled on foot back to Christopher's car where they each had a new pair of clothes to change into, they took Billy back to his vehicle at Walmart and then dropped Quinn off. at her house before Stephen and Christopher headed to Autumn's house around 5:30 in the morning before leaving Kate's house.

Stephen had supposedly wanted to carve the words "you're lucky" on the neighbor's outside wall, as they were almost cast as the Innocent Victims, this probably indicates that Stephen may have been in a sort of euphoria after murdering Kimberly, feeling like a villain and that he had the power to forgive the people next door, so yeah, we basically planned that if there was someone there, we would kill them. You think that if someone was there, if he resisted, you were going to kill him. I was just going to kill him. Yes, I'll be completely honest. I wanted to kill someone for a long time.

It's like an impulse and it was kind of like I was able to get it out, it's very rare for a murderer to make this kind of admission, although it's horrible to hear and very confusing for the average person to understand such a desire, it's this kind of information that helps us understanding the mind of someone with severe antisocial personality disorder, they do not value human life in the way a typical person does and only think about their own needs and desires, their own impulses, as Christopher insightfully described, often distinguishing the good from evil, as Christopher verbalized earlier.

How horrible would it be if someone hurt a woman, much less a girl, but they are not guided by moral principles. People with antisocial personalities can often learn to imitate normal human emotions, but they do not actually feel that emotion. At least I'd feel bad about it. I'm almost trying to say no. I'm not sure why I thought I'd at least throw up afterwards or something after looking at her with her forearm open and the bone showing when she waves, you mean yeah starving the girl while she was saying please don't do this because the mom was the one who said please open this the girl the girl and the mom said everything will be okayI think her mom probably hopes that we weren't going to hurt the girl because she was a girl, it was cool because she was different, yes, but I'm not sure I have a conscience anymore.

Christopher may very well be enjoying the process of telling it. the story because he can relive the incident, this may be the reason why he is so forthcoming, he gives so many details, he even exposes his feelings and his thought process, he is giving the detectives much more than what they ask for, but it is little He's probably doing it to help the detectives because like he said he doesn't care or feel bad and he's not sure if he has a conscience even with the possibility of being locked up in prison for the rest of his life maybe he can get some satisfaction thinking Going back to the memory of the crime, Steve had mentioned that we work on our time to torture and that we do it at another time, it is likely that Stephen was the more sadistic of the two, although Christopher definitely seems to have sadistic tendencies, it seems that Stephen was more of the violent and savage criminal who planned the crimes, while Christopher was more the mastermind of the operation.

I think Steve just enjoys The Butchery, part of the power, yeah, I'm more of a Precision if he went there to kill kind of guy. I'm just going to kill him. Steve was pretty excited, but it definitely wasn't his first time. It was like, yeah, it's amazing, you'll get used to it, Chris, he gets addictive, but we'll deal with it, yeah, even Autumn. I can remember Steven's volatile nature. Steve had always talked about shooting and killing people and said he had killed a lot of people and had a lot of respect in the streets and all that and he always said he wanted to kill someone for I know what it felt like I never took it as anything other than you. you know the ramblings of a troubled child according to Autumn Stephen had apparently proclaimed at one point you have no idea what I'm capable of Steve had mentioned in the past that he wanted to kill his mother um because there was a lot of animosity between them because he demeaned him in his opinion um I was thinking very seriously when arguing with Chris Gribble about murdering his mother uh Steven's mother this type of obsession with murder and enjoyment of the act itself is common among people with severe antisocial personality disorder;

They often commit murder as a means to an end, such as obtaining money or avoiding capture, if the victim is alive and able to identify them; It is less common when the person genuinely enjoys the act of murder, this is often evidenced by the weapon chosen and the way in which the murder was carried out, for example using a machete. It may indicate enjoyment of the process as it involves closer contact with the victim and their death is Prolonged use of a firearm could indicate that the person simply wanted to kill the victim as quickly as possible as it provides physical distance and a often kills quickly.

Steve had mentioned before that he had killed several people. He said this wasn't his first mother and daughter well or we were in the driveway, it's possible that Stephen was lying about his previous alleged murders to impress the group, however it may also have been a form of manipulation, he wanted her to be They felt confident that he had already gotten his way before. So they could trust him to make sure he got his way this time too. Although Steven's claims have never been confirmed, the fact that he made such alarming claims is enough to shock you to your core after the horrible experience he had.

Christopher and Stephen did. He walked to Autumn's house around five in the morning, where the young man seemed unaware of what had just happened. He was looking at it and I thought: what do you want? and he doesn't say anything. They just asked me. Like why does he say, oh, we just killed two people, like he said it very nonchalantly and I was and being Steve and his stories before, I was Like, okay, you know, I didn't believe a word of what he said. said. Autumn was under the impression that they had committed a robbery and not a murder;

However, when the attacker showed him Newfound's possessions, he was more than willing to help get rid of the evidence. Chris grabbed the Clone's bag of clothes and was carrying it and Steve and I knew the past pretty well because that's where we used to go and smoke weed, so we went down there. Steve and Chris were trying to decide who was going to throw away the clothes. things in the river and she's like Autumn, why don't you throw them away? I was like okay. I was extremely disturbed by the story I was being told. I got very, very nervous because from the details it seems to be incredibly.

Truely hoping to put some distance between them and the murder, they plan to burn the remaining evidence, but Autumn supposedly had the idea of ​​throwing it into the Nashua River, although ironically, he would be the one to ultimately lead the police directly there, although Autumn states. that she had no prior knowledge of the intended crime his story appears to contain some holes. I got scared because as far as I knew I was sitting in a room with two murderers and what he was doing was joking that you're not smarter than a victoria I made jokes I make jokes because it helps me stay calm and I was very afraid that those jokes They didn't start happening until Celia texted Steve that the girl had survived Saturday.

Steven looked me in the face and said there are only five people who know about the four of us who did it ndu if it comes to the police showing up we know you read it and I love you like a brother but I will kill you I will kill you you and everyone you care about during her interrogation Autumn took the first opportunity to confess by showing where Stephen and Christopher had thrown a black garbage bag with a small jewelry box an air conditioning screen rubber gloves a plastic bag with an insurance card belonging to David Cates a red sweatshirt with Stephen's name on it socks with Christopher's name on it and several other items placed inside Christopher and Steven had also buried some of the remaining jewelry, the machete, a knife, and two iPods, one from the house of Kate and another from his previous robbery in a wooded area near Christopher's house, but not before he had done it. a chance to show the terrifying weapons to her friends hours after the murder had occurred.

Christopher Stephen Billy and another friend, Eldon Spikes, had been hanging out at their usual Walmart spot, where Stephen had supposedly revealed the horror story he was excited to tell. The story supposedly said that he wished he could do it again, although friends were not sure if Eldon had taken the words into account considering that he had supposedly been high on numerous drugs. Christopher and Stephen then traveled to the Pheasant Lane shopping center in Nashua selling the jewelry. for $130 at a cash-for-gold store where they were detained by police for appearing suspicious. They were informed that multiple robberies had recently occurred in Brookline and Mount Vernon but of course the two did not confess their guilt, as a result the officer did not question them further, but he did not know that he was looking at the faces of the Stone Cold Killers later. that day.

Christopher and Steven traveled to their friend Kyle Fenton's house in Brookline and brought the machete and knife there, proudly. They revealed their disturbing secret, revealed every shocking detail about the murder and displayed the weapons as if it were show and tell, but what the teenagers managed to forget was that not everyone would share their enthusiasm for the gruesome crime and some might even report it to the police. police. Fortunately, when the police informed Kyle's mother of the situation, she did exactly that. Christopher and Stevens' grandiosity predictably backfired on them in their excitement, they became overly boastful and essentially participated in turning themselves in.

If I told you that Alvin said he was threatened, would that be a surprise? No, do you know that Eldon was threatened? Technology Did you hear that they had threatened him? You know nothing about that threat. No, okay, again. I'll ask if you heard more details after any of the guys spoke. about that, they seem to have used it to fish the news out of him, who, excuse me because Stevie and Chris, um, that's what he said, it was just a little snippet, but before this it was there, before, yeah, after at home and you talk a lot, but. then she would have stayed, they said you know the Legacy, they said it was like it was okay, it was funny, who said it was funny, however, the disturbing jokes were not shared by everyone as Quinn was in disbelief at the gruesome attack that Chris had just suffered.

She said she was happy she got the kid and we had a little argument about it, um, just about the ethics, who had the argument, you and Chris, Chris and me, it wasn't a heated argument, but she said she was happy. that she stayed with the child and I said no, not women and children. Quinn goes on to chillingly claim that Stephen wanted Chris to kill by committing such an act. Unfortunately, the disruptive plan seemed to have worked. You mean Chris just came and went? about just being in a hurry they said something more specifically about what they had done it was halfway down the dirt road that's when Chris said he was happy to have the girl Stevie was making the machete joke he was making a joke about oh she Me I woke up to be hacked to death Chris and Stevie were very jovial in a hurry.

I was okay with humoring them because I was at home and one of my friends and a new acquaintance had just killed people and I wasn't there. I'm not going to disagree with anything. Billy said something about being put in the paper and Stevie said something. She said yes, we're going to be in the paper, but not us, according to Quinn. Billy had wanted to be on the paper ever since he. was a child and, given his crime, it seemed that it did not matter how on Sunday night the four criminals along with Eldon had been visiting Quinn's house when the meeting place suddenly became volatile.

Stephen, troubled by the knowledge of Eldon about the homicide, he wanted to get rid of the loose ones. In the end, as expected, Christopher was on board to commit another murder, but luckily Quinn stepped between the three and pleaded for Eldon's life. She assured her accomplice that not a word would be spoken about the incident, which finally ended the confrontation. Billy is apparently his friend. See, when Steve's cleaner was like Billy Billy's sister or something, one of his friend's sisters goes to school at the same place as the girl and she's all over the school, so we hopped on the Telegraph online putting on my mom's computer, yeah. and I looked at it and found out that the girl had survived, there wasn't much there, but they gave me a hard time and said wow Chris, you couldn't even kill a 10 year old, he gave me a hard time, who is? them Steve and Otto Steve said at least I killed my Christopher says this almost as if he wants the investigators to feel bad for him instead of focusing on the fact that they just murdered a mother and brutally assaulted her son.

Presenting Stephen in this way may be helpful for Christopher's case, although Stephen Mayer may not have said this, it is in Christopher's best interest to displace Stephen as the less empathetic and violent criminal in that way, Christopher thinks it seems like some kind of victim compared to his monster of a friend on top. The other three apparently referred to Christopher as a murderous virgin since he was unable to complete The Thrill Kill. I'm surprised she's alive. I'm not sure I want him to die for her just because he'll have to live with everyone. That damn family, if I'm going to kill someone, I'm going to do it so they don't have to sit and live with a bunch of trauma.

I've been through so much trauma. I know when someone would go through that. If only I could end this for them and wish this strange statement could be all a facade. Christopher may feel a sense of failure because Jaime lived and does not want to be seen as weak. He then suggests that he is only disappointed for her sake when in reality, it probably has everything to do with him and nothing to do with her, at the same time Christopher is once again presented as a victim, however this could not be further from the truth after the chilling confessions Billy had supposedly discussed with his father.

The idea of ​​selling his story to various media outlets is another indication of how heartless he was. In the end, Billy and Quinn received plea deals for testifying against Christopher and Stephen. Billy pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit murder, robbery, first degree assault and was sentenced to 30 years. By comparison, Quinn pleaded guilty to robbery, robbery and conspiracy to commit robbery and received a sentence of 20 to 40 years. Autumn was ultimately sentenced to a minimum of five years for hindering apprehension and conspiracy to hinder apprehension in an unsuccessful attempt to avoid a first-degree murder charge. Christopher pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity.

The idea that he had been insane was quickly denied by the court psychiatrist stating that he was well aware of hisbehavior and actively chose to commit such a horrendous crime during his trial. Stephen appeared not to take the proceedings seriously when he made a surprising and unusual request to his lawyer. There are a few different reasons behind this type of behavior. One possibility is that Stephen could be trying to manipulate the situation and gain the jury's sympathy by reminding him. By telling them it's his birthday, he might hope that the jury will be more inclined to be lenient in his sentencing or to see him as more human and relatable.

Another possibility is that you are simply trying to exert control over the situation by asking about your birthday and the possibility that the jury will sing that you are taking an active role in the process and potentially even trying to dictate the mood or tone of the room. of the court, it is also possible that he is simply trying to assert some sort of dominance and show that he is unfazed by the seriousness of the matter. situation, regardless of the specific motivation, it is clear that this type of behavior is concerning and indicates a serious lack of empathy or remorse and shows that you are completely out of touch with the situation and why you are sitting there in the first place, in contrast to what Christopher supposedly said. that if given the chance, nothing could stop him from killing again, both Stephen and Christopher were eventually convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to life in prison without parole, although in 2012 the United States Supreme Court ruled against to sentence the miners to life imprisonment without receiving any opportunity. for probation, but surprisingly Stephen filed a motion not to appeal his conviction and the New Hampshire Supreme Court granted it.

Stephen's reasoning behind the decision is that he is the sickest, most twisted person he has ever met and that he should never be given a second chance. She approached Stephen to speak, but he declined to comment on the case. William Marx and Quinn Glover, who stood by and did absolutely nothing while Kimberly and Jaime were attacked, will likely be paroled in the next few years. Quinn was granted parole on his robbery charge and will likely be released in 2029. William will be eligible for parole in 2024. Autumn Savoy was already paroled in 2015.
