Serial WHAT!!!!!!

Okay, for those of you who I haven't talked to in the last few days, you're never going to believe what happened last week. So, there's been this serial killer that the police have been trying to catch since last year. He's been connected to two rapes/murders and the last two survived. One escaped from his home and the other was beaten and left for dead in an alley but someone found her and she survived. Well, on wednesday I was watching t.v. when they interrupted my show to have a broadcast. They caught the guy! Fantastic, the public can rest! . . . so I thought.

When Justin got home later that day (the broadcast was around 3 in the afternoon), he walks in around 5:45 which is a little late but not enough to make me wonder about anything. He walks in and says "you won't believe what's going on outside."

me - "What?"
justin - "they arrested that serial killer!"
me - "I know, I saw it on the news."
justin - "It's Trent!"
me - "WHAT!!!!!"

Trent is our neighbor and good friend! He and I hang out outside all the time while our kids play together! He is the "model" neighbor! I'm still in shock! He's been in my home without my husband here bringing us dinner for our family! He has been DNA connected to all four crimes, and who knows how many others that they haven't discovered yet, over the last four years. We've known him for about 2 1/2 years! We've been good friends for a long time!
And, since the last two woman survived, they saw his face and were able to I.D. him. Talk about SCARY!

So, what Justin was referring to outside was a number of police cars, police tape roping off our neighbors house who lives just across the parking lot from us, and every news station trying to get interviews from all the neighbors who continued to congregate outside till late into the evening trying to find out more information.

Lesson learned: 1. My judgement of other people may not be as dead on as I orginally thought and 2. The Lord watches over us.

If you would like to know more you can google Trent Christopher Benson. There are tons of aricles.
