As many of you are quite aware, I keep up with the news, and the local news gave me and a majority of others here much comfort.
The news is that the killer I mentioned in the blog I wrote in June had killed his three daughters. The weeks that followed more information became revealed that Travis Decker had serious mental health problems including PTSD from his military service when he toured Iraq. He tried to get the help he felt he needed, but for reasons no one could justify, was denied that help.
Last week, searchers found his remains at a cliff above the site where he killed and disposed of their bodies. Predators had done their job in disposing of his remains making it identifying his remains a challenge. It is as written in the Bible, God is the final arbitrator of justice.
I honestly believed that he more than likely committed suicide probably within hours of killing his three daughters. The pain and hopelessness he had to have experienced was probably compounded by his realization of what he had done.
No word on the individual who killed a horse in Deer Park, but I’m sure eventually his time will come too. I hope so because as I mentioned in that blog I wrote in June, that’s how serial killers get started by killing animals first.
