(this story is weird)

He made the news last year for sleeping on a plane and accidentally ended up in St. Louis.

I think when he goes to trial, we should have a thread on him.

That is really odd. Why did his friend leave the house? Seems odd that you would have a friend over and then leave that friend with your father. Maybe the son had a beef with his father and his friend was doing him a "favor" because he didn't have the guts to do it himself. MOO

This is the second time one of those "weird stories that goes viral" people ended up murdering someone. The first one was the hiccup girl.

A few months ago, I read this trial was to begin around Dec. 2, 113. I keep checking Maricopa Superior Court's docket but I get "Server error" errors most of the day. Can't find anything. The McBee kids went to my granddaughter's school, but we did not know them, but we are interested. We passed numerous emergency vehicles in front of their house on the way to school the morning this was discovered. I will post if I can find any details!

There are four people being charged with this murder. Three are teens, all being tried as adults.
