(If anyone can make a link I would be grateful-- I am not sure how to do that on here).
This jerk killed his wife, several family members and his three year old son a few days ago just outside Sacramento (where I used to live).
He is still on the run somewhere. Last I heard the reward for finding him was up to $30,000 and climbing.
I hope they find him before he hurts anyone else. Sacramento authorities will be sending the bodies of his wife and son back to the Ukraine for burial. It is a terrible tragedy.

Its a very sad tale, indeed. Especially about his son. I have been reading about it, and it makes me feel so angry...as well as sad for that little boy who trusted his daddy.

I was glad to read yesterday that the police have put protection around other family members in the area, as this guy seemed to want to make a clean sweep of his relatives!

Tomorrow there will be a service for the wife and son (maybe the others too- I got this info secondhand).
Her parents will take their bodies back to the Ukraine for burial. I keep thinking how incredibly painful this is for them and then on top of it to be in another country where they probably don't even speak our language must just add to their fear. I hope they catch him before her parents go back home, so at least they can leave with some sort of closure (not much, but still better than having him still out there somewhere.)
Reward is now $70,000.
I just hope he is caught-- hearing this story really got to me.

Thanks Shosh!
I just bookmarked them so that when I have a little more time I can really review them.
Appreciate you telling me about them!

Yes, I just read that he was caught early this morning. And, as was feared, he'd gone to yet another relative's house. They must have been scared out of their wits--one got flustered and dialed 1-1-9 instead of 9-1-1!
