One of the kids he kidnapped, killed and ate was named Gracie Budd and her brother was called Edward. Edward had been the original target, but he seemed to sinewy or something so he chose sweet young Gracie instead.<BR/><BR/>ruhh - I think his career was over. The man has suffered various mental health issues over the years and the family had thought he'd been reasonably stable for the past 10. The fact that he'd even been out of the house was reason enough for them to worry, but that he was doing this crazy stuff AND that the housekeeper had been aiding and abetting caused quite an uproar apparantly. I did get a few updates now and again from my friend, Gail. I seem to rememberthink they changed meds, fired the housekeeper, & kept a closer eye on him at leastXUPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06753840302040062406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7861967395213955449.post-44647463284239251852008-05-16T16:37:00.000-07:002008-05-16T16:37:00.000-07:00That is funny!I was wondering the same thing as th...That is funny!<BR/><BR/>I was wondering the same thing as the Casual Perfectionist.
