U.S.: The Fort Hood community has dealt with mass murder before

  • George Hennard killed 23 people in 1991. It was the deadliest mass shooting in American history before the Virginia Tech shootings, and it happened right near Fort Hood 18 years ago. Hennard drove through the window of Luby’s Cafeteria in the nearby military town of Killeen, Texas, and shot up the town. He killed 23, injured another 20 and then killed himself. Yet, for some reason, this shooting hasn’t captured the public consciousness in the same way as Columbine or Virginia Tech. We’re sure it will now. source

U.S.: Phillip Garrido hid his tracks well in the Jaycee Lee Dugard case

  • There were zero signs of kids living there. Only him, his wife and mom.
  • Antioch, California Sgt. Diane Aguinaga • Describing the utterly bizarre conditions that they found when they discovered long-missing child Jaycee Lee Dugard and her two daughters recently. Phillip Garrido, a registered sex offender as far back as 1971, allegedly hid the children in a backyard compound behind a fence. Few stones were left unturned – the lair was soundproofed, even. Incredibly disturbing. • source
