UPDATED STORY: New details emerge in slaying of Hooters casino waitress
Two men charged in connection with a violent home invasion that left a man dead and his wife seriously wounded have been linked to the death of a Hooters casino server.
Police also said the men are suspected in a series of other crimes.
Metro Police announced during a news conference this morning that 38-year-old Gregory Hover and Richard Freeman, 18, have been linked to the killing of 21-year-old Prisma Contreras of Las Vegas. Her body was found Jan. 15 in an abandoned vehicle near U.S. 95 and Nelson's Landing Road south of Boulder City.
In a separate pair of shootings, Hover was arrested Feb. 6 and charged in connection with an attack in the early morning hours of Jan. 25 that left Julio Romero, 64, dead and his wife, Roberta Romero, seriously wounded.
Metro Capt. Randy Montandon said police are seeking possible witnesses who could provide information about the two cases.
Specifically, police are looking for a white man wearing a yellow jacket with the word “security” on it who was riding a bicycle near the area of the Romeros’ home at the time of the shootings.
Montandon said police believe the witness had contact with the men and might be able to provide critical information.
Police want to speak with the occupants of a red Isuzu Amigo, model years 1995 to 2000, seen in the parking lot of the Walmart at Lake Mead Drive and Boulder Highway in Henderson between 7:20 a.m. and 7:40 a.m. on Jan. 14. Police said Gregory Hover and Richard Freeman were in the area shortly after leaving Prisma Contreras' body in Boulder City. Anyone with information is asked to call 828-3521.
Police also are looking for the occupants of a red Isuzu Amigo, model years 1995 to 2000, who were in the parking lot of the Wal-Mart at Lake Mead Drive and Boulder Highway in Henderson between 7:20 a.m. and 7:40 a.m. on Jan. 14.
“We know these individuals were in very close proximity to our suspects after they had disposed of our victim in Boulder City,” Montandon said. “They may have critical information they can share with us in reference to what they saw and what they may have heard at that scene.”
Investigators believe the men committed a series of crimes across the valley and Montandon urged any victims to contact police. He said the crime spree dates back to at least late 2009.
Anyone with information is being asked to call police at 828-3521.
“We know that they were not selective in who they chose to victimize,” Montandon said. “We believe they victimized people who had broken down on the side of the road and were looking for assistance for rides, people that may have gone to ATM machines; we also know that there was a series of business robberies that they were involved in.”
He said additional armed robbery charges would be forthcoming in those cases.
Hover was a process server who worked for a legal firm serving civil papers.
He is accused of returning to the Romeros' home, near the intersection of Jones Boulevard and Russell Road, in the early morning hours of Jan. 25, a few hours after he had been there in an attempt to find another man who Hover said owed $10,000 in a civil matter.
Police say Hover shot Julio Romero dead, then robbed Roberta Romero at gunpoint before ushering her into a bedroom closet while he raided dresser drawers and took valuables.
While Roberta Romero was in the closet, Hover opened the door and shot her in the face, police have said. She called 911 after the intruder left her home.
Roberta Romero remains hospitalized but her condition is improving, attorneys said this week.
Montandon said an investigation was under way into whether Hover committed crimes against any other clients he came in contact with through the course of his job as a process server.
Montandon said the investigation into the armed robbery at the Romeros’ home provided information that pointed to Hover and Freeman as being involved in Contreras’ murder.
He said a vehicle suspected of being involved in the crimes was linked to Hover.
According to Hover’s arrest report, Roberta Romero described a small, white, four-door car being parked in front of her house when Hover first approached her and her husband. Police later learned a white 1996 Nissan Sentra was registered to Hover’s wife.
Police on Jan. 19 released video surveillance images showing a white Sentra and said video showed someone exit the Sentra and approach Contreras’ Jeep.
Montandon said police are also looking into whether Hover might be tied to any unsolved cases and that it’s possible he could have committed other homicides.
“I’m pretty certain that he’s killed at least two people and there’s no telling how many more victims we may discover,” Montandon said.
The gun believed to have been used in shooting the Romeros has been recovered, Montandon said.
In the shooting of the Romeros, Hover and Freeman are charged with conspiracy to commit robbery, burglary with a deadly weapon, two counts of robbery with a deadly weapon, murder with a deadly weapon, two counts of first-degree kidnapping with a deadly weapon, attempted murder with a deadly weapon, battery with a deadly weapon resulting in substantial bodily harm and burglary.
The men are next scheduled to appear in court Friday morning for a bail hearing. Formal charges in connection with Contreras’ death are expected to be filed later today, Montandon said.
Both men are being held without bail in the Clark County Detention Center.

Thank god these two are off the streets! send 'em straight to the gallows!!
Its time to publicly these criminals. After they've had a fair trail, of course.
Hats off to metro on this one, a couple of serial killers are off the streets
The lucky one of these two will get Gary Guymon as his public defender. He regularly beats his former prosecutors in David Roger's office.
If the one on the right did not have a mustache I would swear he was a girl.
Dude. More and more crime by white men. What is it with that race?
title should read:
Man and WOMAN linked to Hooters server's death.
If they really did kill the Hooters girl I wonder if she and Freeman knew eachother and maybe she made him mad or something. I can't believe she'd have enough money on her to warrant a random robbery. Wierd how the older guy goes from no record at all to 2 murders, robbery and they suspect he's been involved in other burglaries. I guess some people are good at not getting caught....for a while at least!
I cannot wait to get outta this city.
If the one on the right did not have a mustache I would swear he was a girl.
LOLOL I thought the same!!! He's is going to just LOOOOOOOVE prison!
They really don't look like the types to do this sort of thing.
If I remebered it right, there were some posters in here who claimed knowing Hover and how good a citizen he was. Where are they now?
"If the one on the right did not have a mustache I would swear he was a girl."
He probably grew the mustache because he was tierd of getting hit on.

Why wait, go now. When you find "paradise" let us know which country it is in, because it certainly does not exist in the good old USofA.
something is missing here ive been following this whole story and knew there had to be another person involved besides greg hover and sure enough r.freeman was involved after putting all the blame on g.hover now the truth is coming out and freeman bragging about thier past crimes shows he knew what he was doin and has no remorse or concience at all. i feel really bad for the familys of the victims and accused in this ball of crime. i myself was a victim of a house invasion and almost lost my life i moved out of that dirty greedy and nasty crime-murder capitol city las vegas isnt gonna get any better only worse.... prayers for the lost souls and family members...
Did these tweekers really think they could get away with this?
Innocent until proven guilty
Innocent until proven guilty
Innocent until proven guilty
maybe if i type it enough, you all will get it.
as we see again the city of las vegas has satan the devil and his demons running wild turnin people from normal decent people to mass murderers,theives,robbers,liars and the list goes on.i lived there for 8 years and saw all i needed to see the pretty lights casinos free flow of alcohol,drugs,sex,money and the fastlife 24/7 makes people flock to the "glamorous vegas"definately not the place to raise a family.the city of oppertunity?yeh right oppertunity to be murdered and who knows what else.good job and good luck to the detectives and police dept.its crazy out there.how about raising the salary for them and quit dumping all your money in the casinos that money can go to a more secure and well connected law enforcement and judicial system. NOW WHAT? when they say sin city they mean S I N C I T Y........

@azbycx0918 Dude, What girls have you been looking at? The girls I check out look nothing like that..
@ geezelouise
Please" This concept is long gone:
Drug test = Prove yourself innocent before being hired.
IRS = Prove yourself innocent to get out of jail
Traffic tickets = Go to court to prove your innocent
The list can continue".

Who else might have known what these two were up to? Spouses, friends, relatives....somebody must have known they suddenly they had more money or something.
Good work metro. Now, execute them.
I know that there's a lot of people, that ask themselves what happened to Prisma,What was the motive? Did she have anything to do with any of these guys. Was she into drugs?The answer is none of the above. I'm a relative of the young beautiful girl and Her lost have cause a pain that is indescribable,Prisma was just working at hooters for only four days,that morning she was supposed to come out of work at 7:00 a.m. but because of the slow business she was release at 5:00 a.m.She was good girl very respectful to her parents and a good mother, she only had one boyfriend and that was the one that later became her husband and father of her precious daughter.I knew Prisma good enough to assure everyone that she was a victim of these criminals, perhaps they were customers of the restaurant she was working for. I don't think this crime was random,I believe for some reason it was all plan.But I thank the LORD of the Universe for giving us justice in the killing of OUR PRISMA,we will always miss her and I know the true justice will be one day when these two face THE LORD.Thanks to everyone for your concern and the support you showed for our family GOD Bless you all.
THANX GOD THESE ANIMALS WERE CAUGHT, I HOPE THE D.A. SEEKS THE DEATH PENALTY IS THE LEAST THEY DESERVE NOW PRISMA CAN REST IN PEACE. WE ARE MISSING HER A LOT!!!!!!!
I AM THE MOTER OF GREGORY HOVER, AND I WILL ALWAYS LOVE MY SON. I CANNOT BELIEVE THIS IS HAPPENING. I LIVE IN ANOTHER STATE AND THE ONLY NEWS I GET IS WHAT I READ HERE AND FROM MY DAUGHTER-IN-LAW. ALSO FROM MY SON WHO LIVES NEAR ME. I HAVE RESPONDED ON THE OTHER ARTICLES, SO I AM RESPONDING HERE. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO GREGORY. HE WAS NEVER LIKE THIS, NO MATTER WHAT ANY OF YOU THINK. HE HAS BEEN MARRIED FOR 20 YEARS WITH A GREAT WIFE AND 2 GREAT KIDS. HE HAS ALWAYS WORKED AND DID WHAT WAS RIGHT. THEN TO GO DO SOMETHING LIKE THIS IS UNREAL TO ME. MY PRAYS HAVE BEEN FOR ROBERTA ROMERA WHO WAS THE WOMAN SHOT IN THE FACE. I TRURELY HOPE THAT ONE DAY SHE WILL FEEL SAFE AGAIN. I HOPE SHE WILL BE ABLE TO GET ON WITH HER LIFE. MY PRAYERS TO HER, HER FAMILY, AND FRIENDS. I JUST FOUND OUT ABOUT THIS. MY DEEPEST SYMPATHY TO THE FAMILY OF THE 21 YEAR OLD GIRL. MAY SHE REST IN PEACE AND WALK WITH GOD.AND I AM HAPPY THAT RICKY FREEMAN HAS BEEN FINALLY ARRESTED. I SAID THAT ALL INVOLVED SHOULD GET THE SAME SENTENCE. YOU DO NOT LET ANY MURDERER WALK AROUND FREE JUST BECAUSE HE IS 18 YEARS OLD. I JUST HOPE THAT SOMEDAY THAT I WILL KNOW THE WHOLE TRUTH ABOUT THIS. AS HIS MOTHER, MY HEART IS BREAKING. OUR LIVES WILL NEVER BE THE SAME EITHER. MAY GOD HAVE MERCY ON ALL THE LIVES THAT HAVE BEEN AFFECTED.
Gee silverravenwolf, you should have raised your son better. I bet he used to steal and kill cats when he was young and if I can ask was he on medication when he young?
I can't begin to imagine what other atrocities they have committed. Put them away for life!
Ummmm.....You forgotten the fact that there was an eye witness victim that positively identified the assailant as the person shooting her in the face, so let me rewrite the actual script here:
I can see this conversation:
Metro officer - "Man, glad the lady survived that tragic incident and made a positive ID on that process server that had contact with her hours before while serving papers, cuz if it weren't for that, there was so little evidence within these murders. I originally thought that we'll never solve 'em"
Gillespie - "Just blame it on these two because now we have enough evidence to fry them like an ant under a magnifying glass ....so that they get what they deserve, well actually they deserve much worse then their victims."
Officer - "WOW! What a great idea. No wonder you're in charge"
Gillespie - "That's the way it's done around here, rookie. Get used to it"
Officer - Gee Beev, I originally thought I was fingerprinting and booking Jeff Van Gundy and Jenna Elfman ..(with a moustache and dyed hair) until I seen their names printed on the index cards.....WHEW !!!!

"Not looking for Paradise just sick of living in Hell. Get it?"
It's what you make of it, I personally enjoy living in Las Vegas which is why I stay unlike you who would rather moan and groan about living here and do nothing about it. So please do yourself and us a favor and just GO.
I DO APPRECIATE ALL THE COMMENTS-GOOD OR BAD. BUT PLEASE DO NOT ACCUSE ANY FAMILY FOR RAISING THEIR CHILDREN. HE WAS NOT LIKE THIS WHEN YOUNG. YOU HAVE TO REMEMBER THAT HE IS A GROWN MAN LIVING AWAY FROM HOME OVER 20 YEARS. I LIVE IN ANOTHER STATE SO THIS NEWS IS THE ONLY NEWS I GET. INCLUDING YOUR COMMENTS.DON'T BLAME ANYONES FAMILY BECAUSE THEY HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH IT. AND MOST OF YOUR CONCERSN SHOULD BE WITH THE VICTIMS-THEIR FAMILIES AND FRIENDS. MY CONCERN IS WITH THEM. IS YOURS? MY HEARTFELT SYMPATHY FOR THE FAMILIES OF THE VICTIMS. I JUST HOPE THAT ONE DAY I WILL LEARN THE WHOLE TRUTH AND THE ENTIRE STORY. I CANNOT BELIEVE THIS IS HAPPENING. ALTHOUGH I KNOW IT IS. YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THIS DOES TO A FAMILY. ESPECIALLY TO HIS WIFE-WHO IS A REALLY GOOD PERSON. TO HIS 2 GREAT CHILDREN. IT IS DEVASTATING. THEY DID NOT ASK FOR THIS EITHER. BUT NOW THEY HAVE GOT TO TRY TO LIVE WITH THIS. MAY GOD HAVE MERCY ON THE FAMILIES CONCERNED.
I used to be a really close friend of as I called him... "Rick/Ricky". Rick has a troubled past, but he was always really nice, he's just quiet most of the time. My Mom in particular was REALLY close to Ricky, he opened up to her, she opened up to him... When I saw this, this morning I freaked out crying for HOURS on end...
I'm in total SHOCK.
I can't believe that Rick would even be involved in this in anyway, but I'm not saying he isn't... because it's obvious that he is.
It's just so sad to see that he went down the WRONG path just after we stopped talking.
I would like to say that I am so very sorry to the family of that beautiful girl that was murdered... That alone brings me to tears.
I can at least say my Mom isn't around anymore to see this HORRIBLE TRAGEDY, she was a big Christian & loved Ricky like her own son, she would've been so heartbroken to see this especially since used to watch the news EVERYDAY.
This is so shocking, & again, I'm so sorry to the families. I never saw this coming, as far as I knew, Rick was a nice guy... just had a few issues :(
HOW SELFISH ARE YOU SILVERRAVENWOLF, DO YOU THINK ABOUT PRISMA SHE WAS JUST 21 HAPPILY MARRIED SHE HAD A MOTHER HAVE U EVER IN A MOMENT THINK HOW SHE IS HER FATHER HER SISTER HER BROTHERS HOW ABOUT HER CHILD SHE S 4 YEARS OLD HOW COULD I WISH THE JUSTICE LET IT BE "AN EYE FOR AN EYE " AND GIVE US THOSE BASTARDS SO WE CAN CUT THEM IN LITTLE PIECES!!!! SO SHE CAN FINALLY REST IN PEACE
"If the one on the right did not have a mustache I would swear he was a girl."
I thought it was an ugly girl With a mustache.
Anyone whom has lived in Las Vegas for years know what it can do to a person, not nessecarily all but a lot of people with the drugs hangin' w/dicey people, the 24 hour thing and lack of sleep, etc., etc., etc., That Hover guy is no different, and now he'll (if proven guilty) will go to prison for the rest of his life because of it. I'm sure the veterans of Metro PD have an endless amount of stories that are just like his, maybe not on the same scale as murder and torture, but the same general Vegas stuff..I'm sure its endless....
lpcv WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? I AM CRUSHED OVER THIS. I AM TRUELLY SORRY FOR WHAT HAPPENED TO PRISMA AND THE OTHERS. CAN YOU NOT READ?JUST BECAUSE I SAID I LOVE MY SON? I DO- I WILL ALWAYS LOVE MY SON. THAT DOES NOT MEAN THAT I APPROVE OF WHAT HAS HAPPENED. IT IS THE MOST HORRIBLE THING THAT COULD BE DONE TO ANOTHER PERSON. THE HORRORS THE FAMILIES OF THESE VICTIMS MUST BE GOING THRU.WHY DO YOU THINK I APPROVE OF THIS? WHAT HAVE I SAID TO MAKE ANYONE THINK I APPROVE OF THIS? MAY GOD GET YOUR MIND RIGHT. I TRUELY WISH THAT THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED. THAT THE VICTIMS WERE STILL ALIVE. THAT THE PEOPLE HURT-WERE NOT HURT. WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU? I AM NOT FOR WHAT HAS HAPPENED.MY THOUGHTS ARE WITH THE FAMILIES OF THE VICTIMS AND THE ONES HARMED. YOUR THOUGHTS SHOULD BE TOO-INSTEAD OF TRYING TO PUT ME DOWN. I HAVE NO OTHER WAY TO FIND OUT WHAT IS GOING ON, EXCEPT FOR THIS NEWS AND WHAT YOU ALL WRITE. I LIVE ALOT OF STATES AWAY. SO I DO COUNT ON THE NEWS AND ALL OF YOU. WEATHER YOUR COMMENTS ARE GOOD OR BAD. BUT THERE IS NO NEED TO INSULT ME OR ANY FAMILY MEMBER. HOW DARE YOU? I AM ANGRY YOU WOULD INSULT ME. I HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS. I DID NOT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THIS. I LEARNED ABOUT THIS BECAUSE SOMEONE CALLED ME. THEN I WENT ONLINE AND FOUND THIS NEWS. I AM HORRIFIED. DO YOU NOT THINK THAT THIS HAS AFFECTED FAMILIES ALL OVER? MY HEART GOES OUT TO THE FAMILIES OF THESE VICTIMS. I WISH I COULD CHANGE ALL THIS. SHAME ON YOU FOR TRYING TO INSULT AND HURT PEOPLE YOU DO NOT KNOW. I PRAY TO GOD THAT THE FAMILIES AND FRIENDS OF THE VICTIMS CAN HEAL. I DO NOT BERATE OR ACCUSE ANYONE OF ANYTHING. YOU ARE A HURTFUL PERSON FOR NO REASON. MAY GOD HEAL YOU.

lpcv- I AM SORRY I GOT SO UPSET. BUT PLEASE UNDERSTAND IF I COULD HAVE STOPPED THIS I WOULD HAVE. I HAVE HAD NO SAY OR CONTROL OVER GREGORY. HE HAS BEEN MARRIED OVER 20 YEARS. AWAY FROM HOME A LITTLE LONGER. WE DO NOT LIVE ANYWHERE CLOSE TO EACH OTHER. I AM TRUELY SORRY FOR WHAT HAPPENED TO PRISMA, AND WHAT HER FAMILY IS GOING THRU. I AM SORRY FOR ALL THE VICTIMS AND THEIR FAMILY AND FRIENDS. I HOPE SOMEDAY YOU WILL BE ABLE TO HEAL ALSO. BUT PLEASE DO NOT ATTACK ME BECAUSE HE IS MY SON. AND YES I DO UNDERSTAND HOW YOU FEEL.
For everyone involved this is a complete tragedy.
I don't know anyone in this story but it is clearly a tragedy for everyone.
To me , the very beautiful and young Prisma Contreras could have been anyone's daughter ... but sadly now the innocent victim of a vicious crime against humanity. May God Bless and Keep Her in his Loving Care. May God bring a special blessing to all of her family and friends.

They look like crack or meth heads.
They will say the Devil or drug made me do it.
You do the crime you do the time or death.
To the mother, its not your fault
We try to teach the kids what is right and wrong.
I guess he was a bad student and the drug do not
help. Go on with your life and be happy.
The only justice for these two if convicted is execution. Life in prison is to easy for these animals.
Richard freeman,its so strange because i have known ricky for 3 years now...and when i see that picture i dont see that guy,that bad guy...rick was the sweetest guy ever..idk what happened to him...i hope he learns his lesson im very disapointed in him...
Richard not-so-free Freeman is going to make a pretty girlfriend for lots of our finest inmates here in Nevada. Glad that this trash is off the streets.

HOOTERS FOREVER
I APPRECIATE ALL COMMENTS, NO MATTER HOW GOOD OR BAD. BUT DO NOT BLAME THE FAMILIES OR WISH THEM HELL. THEY ARE ALREADY GOING THRU HELL. THE FAMILIES OF THESE TWO HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH WHAT HAPPENED AND DID NOT KNOW WHAT WAS GOING ON. I KNOW. I AM THE MOTHER OF GREGORY HOVER AND I HAD NO IDEA.I DO NOT LIVE IN VEGAS AS I SAID. I LEARNED ABOUT THIS AFTER SOMEONE CALLED ME. THEN I READ IT HERE. AS I SAID HE HAS BEEN AWAY FROM HOME FOR OVER 20 YEARS. THE FAMILIES HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS. THIS IS SO HORRIBLE. MY HEARTFELT SYMPATHY TO ALL THE VICTIMS, VICTIMS FAMILY AND FRIENDS. I HONESTLY WISH I COULD CHANGE THIS. BUT I CANNOT.MAY GOD EASE YOUR PAIN. I HOPE THAT ONE DAY YOU ALL CAN HEAL AND GO ON WITH YOUR LIVES. DON'T LET THIS DESTROY YOUR LIVES TOO. THEN YOU BECOME JUST AS MUCH A VICTIM AS PRISMA,THE ROMEROS' AND ALL THE REST. TAKE SOME COMFORT KNOWING THAT THE ONES RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL THESE HORRIBLE ACTS ARE IN JAIL-NOT WALKING THE STREETS.THEY ARE NEVER GOING TO SEE THE FREEDOM THEY HAD AND THAT TOOK AWAY FROM THE VICTIMS. KNOW THERE IS JUSTICE AND IT WILL PREVAIL. PLEASE DO NOT BLAME THE FAMILIES OR WISH THIS ON ANY FAMILY. MAY GOD EASE YOUR PAIN AND PROTECT YOU. MY THOUGHTS ARE WITH PRISMA,THE ROMERO'S AND ALL THEIR FAMILES AND FRIENDS. GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
I am so saddened to hear Prisma had a daughter. Not only was she just starting out in life, she had a child. Now that child will never know her mommy. That's probably one of the saddest parts. To her family that's posted on here: I give you my sympathy. I hope her daughter is ok. (I realize that's not going to be easy.) At 4 years old she probably just wants to see her mommy again and doesn't quite understand why she can't. I wish her husband strength. I can only imagine he's devistated. What's so stupid about this, is I am sure both victims would've GLADLY handed over whatever "valuables" these losers wanted, with out a fight, so it's my opinion Hover/ Freeman got some sort of pleasure out killing people. And although Hover is scum, I do feel that his children will now suffer as well. I hope they do not follow in his footsteps. Eye for an eye! Let's do it.
Ya I don't agree that people should be blaming the families either. Wow! People can say some messed up things! That's for sure!
-Sassy: Of course we're going to suffer. He is my dad. Who wouldn't suffer from something like this. That's a dumb statement lol.
I'm sickened that a lot of people on here enjoy writing horrible stuff about the suspects families. So immature of everyone!
Some of you guys read this stuff and laugh. and then write horrible things to try and make other people laugh. You guys make me sick :P
GregHover: I didn't mean this as an insult. I simply meant that people shouldn't attack you or the rest of your family as you guys are going through this as well, albeit in a different way. You (or you sibilings or your mom or your grandma) can't control what a family member does any more than I could. Nor should anyone blame his kids for something he's done. This doesn't just go for your dad, it goes for his accomplice as well. Most people should know that your family's heart is breaking, too. It's tragedy, full circle.
SASSYITALIAN- I AM GREGORY HOVERS MOTHER- MOTHER OF THE ACCUSED. I AM HAPPY YOU WROTE WHAT YOU DID. THIS IS A TRADEGY FOR ALL CONCERNED. FOR THE VICTIMS-VICTIMS FAMILY. FOR THE ACCUSED FAMILY.WE ARE ALL HORRIFIED. BUT WE ALSO HAVE TO LIVE WITH THIS THE BEST WAY WE CAN. MY GRANDCHILDREN ARE HAVING IT VERY ROUGH OVER THIS. THEY HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH WHAT HAPPENED. NONE OF THE FAMILY DID. WE ARE ALL IN SHOCK AND SICK OVER THIS.AND MY PRAYS GO OUT TO THE FAMILIES OF THE VICTIMS. I WISH THEM PEACE. AND I HOPE THAT SOMEDAY THEY WILL FEEL SAFE AGAIN. MAY GOD BE WITH US ALL.
FEEL SAFE AGAiN??? ARE YOU FREAk'N SERiOUS?? YOU EXPECT OUR FAMILY TO FEEL SAFE AFTER YOUR SiCk SON AND HiS ACCOMPLiCES DiD WHAT THEY DiD..YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KiDDiNG ME..
I said I hope that one day you will feel safe. No I am not kidding. I am so terribly sorry what has happened to the victims. I cannot even imagine how the family of the victims feel. I honestly wish I would have known what was going on. I would have somehow tried to put a stop to it. I would have flown to Vegas and confronted him. I did not know. So all I can do is hope for all of you. The D.A.-the police, the court system will do their job. At least for now they are behind bars. The court system will decide what to do with them. And I do wish the families some peace that they are in jail and off the streets.
