Two young girls were kidnapped, brutally beaten, raped and murdered. Amy was only 11 years old, Becky was 18. A simple errand put them in the wrong place at the wrong time and led to their demise. Becky reversed her vehicle out the store parking lot but she realized she had a flat tire. They got out of the car; two young men approached and offered to help. The small town life had not prepared Amy or Becky to protect themselves from the kind of evil embodied in the two creatures who slithered into their young lives. Jerry Jenkins and Ronald Kennedy: both Sociopaths…with a history of arrests and time in prison were too drunk and full of drugs that night. After a charade of "trying to fix the tire," the men said they couldn't do it and suggested that the girls leave their car so the men could drive them home until Kennedy shoved a knife against Becky's rib cage. The girls suffered unspeakable crimes by these men before being thrown from a bridge into the River. Becky miraculously survived, Amy sadly didn’t. Years later, author and journalist Ron Franscell can’t forget Wyoming’s most shocking story of abduction, rape, and murder. Neither could Becky, the surviving sister.

Such Good Boys: The True Story of a Mother, Two Sons, and a Horrifying Murder

Sun, 16 Dec 2012 19:27:06 -0500

This story is based on two boys that are fed up with the way their mother has been treating them and they take their aggression out on her in the most horrible way possible. On the night of January 14, 2003, Jason strangled his mother. To keep authorities from identifying her body, he chopped off her head and hands. Jason Bautista felt like he had no other choice but to kill his own mother. He went through so much pain and torture, and he felt like this was the only way out. There were two cases that have recently happened that show that kids who suffer from pain and anger will one day crack and do something unruly and terrible. A 17-year-old boy named Tyler Bradley brutally killed his parents before having a house party while their bodies were still inside a bedroom. Tyler’s parents always argued and were always in fights. This shows that kids who are constantly in quarrels with their parents will one-day break down under pressure. Another example is the story of a young boy named Greg Ousley who in the middle of the night shot his parents with a shotgun in cold blood. Greg and his parents would also be fighting all the time and when things got out of hand, he would actually get physical with his father. His father would usually inflict more pain because he was bigger and stronger. Due to all of this hatred, Greg killed his parents in the middle of the night.
