New Years day my neighbors were found dead in their basement. A family of 4 including two little girls: Stella, 9, and her sister, Ruby, was 4. Her mom is a co-owner of World of Mirth in Carytown. They were found just before 2pm. Their friends showed up for a New Years day party and found the house on fire. The entire family was tied up in the basement. Their throats had been slit. You can read the whole story here:

I have a sick feeling it might be rape. This whole ordeal has got me rethinking about my opinions on the death penalty.
Tonight was the candlelight vigil in our neighborhood. Even right now I can look out my bedroom window and still see lit candles in front of the house. More about tonight can be read here:

Pour mes amis français : mes voisins ont été assassinés (murdered) dans une façon terrible sur le Jour De L'an (New Years Day). C'est très triste.
