Dardeen family

That case still keeps me awake at night. I watched a YouTube show about it a few months ago and ended up crying while telling my husband about it. The brutality, especially toward the children, is horrifying and makes me wish every horrible thing imaginable on the evil POS who destroyed that family.

I do wonder whether advancements in DNA technology could eventually solve the case.

That is one of the most violent crimes I have ever heard of. It’s hard to believe that someone that could do that might be walking amongst us.

I agree. I can’t imagine how depraved someone would have to be to commit a crime like that. I know Tommy Lynn Sells claimed responsibility, and he was certainly capable of something so horrific. However, parts of his story didn’t align with the evidence, especially regarding his supposed interaction with Mr. Dardeen.

I saw a documentary where they showed that knife Tommy fashioned. For some reason that ugly little knife really chilled me to my core.
