On the early morning hours of May 12th, 2007 Maggie Haines woke up to noises. She didn’t know what was going on so she went into her parents where she found her mother slightly sitting on the edge of her bed. Her mom told Maggie that she needed to go get help. Maggie ran to a neighbors house and they called the police. When they arrived the went to the neighbors house first to ask Maggie what was going on but she couldn’t give them an exact answer. Her father had recently been in the hospital and she thought that there was a possibility that there was a complication with that. After multiple knocks on the Haines’ family home with no response the two responding officers went in and started a sweep of the home. They found sixteen year old Kevin Haines laying facedown in a pool of blood just outside his bedroom door. Inside his bedroom there was blood splattered all across the walls. Down the hall in Tom and Lisa Haines’ room they were also deceased on arrival but the scene in their bedroom wasn’t as bad. Since the majority of the attack was on Kevin Haines it seemed that he was the primary target. No one could think of anyone who would want to do this to the Haines family. The only real person of interest in the beginning was Maggie Haines. She had just come home from college, she was the only survivor, and her demeanor after the murders was odd. Although, she was later cleared of any wrong doing. The Haines family were from Mainheim Township, Pennsylvania and lived on a beautiful quiet street Peach Lane. Tom Haines was married to Lisa Ann Haines and they had two children Maggie and Kevin Haines. Tom Haines was a fifty year old salesman at Motion Industries. Lisa Ann Haines was a forty-seven year old preschool tea... ... middle of paper ... ...st amount of time possible. At the trial most of the Haines family was there except for Maggie because she couldn’t face Alec but she did make a video that was played for him. In the video she basically told him how disgusted she was with him and his actions and how he ripped her family from her. Alec was given the opportunity to speak but he didn’t say anything. “ The judge then formally imposed three life sentences of life imprisonment without the possibility of parole. “These sentences shall not only be served consecutively,” he said, “but the sentencing order is to include a notation from me that, in the event in the future there is a possibility of clemency by some governor or future governor, I strongly object to the granting of any clemency.” ( Cuneo 271) Alec Kreider will now spend the rest of his life in prison for what he did to the Haines family.

A horrific murder happened in tiny Skidmore on December of 2004. Lisa Montgomery and Bobbi Jo Stinnett met and found out that they had much in common and became good friends (Nunes 85-86). Surprisingly, Bobbi and Lisa met in an internet chat room. Bobbi was into puppy breeding and she occasionally served as a judge. Lisa lived in Kansas where her close friends were shocked about what she was talking about. Of course, Lisa shrugged it off and she sent an email to Bobbi saying that she wanted to see the puppies (Nunes 85-86). When Lisa met Bobbi Jo she had a fake name which was Darlene Fisher because she didn’t want Bobbi to know her real identity. When Lisa sent Bobbi the email she had a criminal intent on her mind. She was planning to choke Bobbi into unconsciousness and then cut open her womb and steal Bobbi’s unborn baby. When Lisa arrived at the house she threw a rope around Bobbi’s neck and choked her until she was unconscious. That is when Lisa took a knife and started to cut open Bobbi’s stomach. Lisa had to cut through skin, fat, and muscle to get to Bobbi’s uterus. Bobbi’s baby was in eight-month gestation; Lisa cut and tied the baby’s cord. Lisa stole the baby and fled to her house in Kansas. Unfort...
The similarities in the lives of this father and son are uncanny. I will look at the murders committed by both Butch and Willie. They both committed two murders. I will look at the correlation between the two men and the murders they committed. I will touch on their lives and their treatment at home. In addition, how that eventually affected them and the eventual murders they both committed. Their mother has sent them both away. They were both sent to the same juvenile detention centers at different times. This affected both men differently. The psychologists gave them the same diagnosis at different times, but no one realized this at the time. It is astonishing that there was no connection made between the two men. There was bound to be tragedy in their lives given the history in this family. Butch and Willie both committed heinous crimes, but for different reasons. I will look at why I think they killed and what sentences I believe they should have gotten for killing.

From the summer of 1979 to the summer of 1981, at least twenty-eight people were abducted and killed during a murder spree in Atlanta, Georgia; these killings would come to be known as the Atlanta Child Murders. While the victims of the killings were people of all races and genders, most of the victims of the Atlanta Child Murders were young African-American males. These murders created great racial tension in the city of Atlanta, with its black population believing the murders to be the work of a white supremacist group.
