      Collette caught him molesting, raping her child a and she went crazy mad, and he knew if that got out if would destroy him. So he murdered her, and then tried to make it look like a bunch of hippies broke in and did it, because it right after the Sharon Tate/Charles Manson murders and he had a magazine in the living room with that story on the front page. Fatal Vison NBC is on youtube.

      It is most likely that Colette said something demeaning or crude, stepping out of the idealized image he had of her and triggered a rage. Kim was an accident. Kristy was coverup.

      @@denisenoe7746 You are seriously missing the message here. There is NO EXCUSE for the butchering and slaughtering of those 3 individuals who have a place prepared in heaven. She caught raping her little girl. Wake Up!!!! There's something wrong with you to defend this monster in any way. unfair trial Fricking Really. How about how unfair it was to his wife and children to be brutally slaughtered by their dad and husband and raping possibly both girls. He felt no remorse whatsoever. That is the profile of a psychopath. Not even to mention the countless women probably who laid in their bed while he was fornicating and there is where the strange unaccounted hair. The witnesses were huge in number. Which only there more who never came forward. It is a sicko bastard awaiting his just due in the lake of fire.

    Seriously? no one is going to mention this?: "Blackburn’s law career ended dramatically in 1993 when he was found guilty of several ethical violations. In April, 1993, he turned in his license to practice law to the North Carolina Bar which subsequently disbarred him from legal practice. He subsequently served time in prison, suffered from depression and waited tables at the restaurant where he formerly entertained his clients."

How there Colette’s blood is on the pj BEFORE it was torn. Why there were NO pj fibers found in the living room. How there were only 4 assailants? When at least 2 had to be in the master bedroom attacking Colette and Kimberley. Oh and how did the icepick hole pattern in the pj top matched the same pattern of ice picks in Colette’s chest? Explain it all! I’ll wait...
