Wow! So scary! And it sounds like the school did everything right in checking him out before he was hired. The school district can't comment on details of his employment record. But, at least so far, I haven't read any reports of parents or colleagues saying they were concerned about his behavior or comments. I think the school would not have him working as the ISS aide unless they thought he was trustworthy.
A news story yesterday had a mom who said he tried to approach her young daughter a few weeks ago.

I imagine he kept it well hidden but I wonder if he 'approached' children where he worked?Oh I know you are. I was just bouncing off your post. Seems he kept it well hidden?
Sorry to keep posting single comments: reading Facebook and the group Missouri Citizen Militia has stated that Westboro Baptist Church will be protesting her candle light vigil Saturday at 8:00 at Commercial and Campbell and the group plans to be there.
Was that a lady with blonde hair in a pony tail? There was one yesterday who said that he was acting funny and she told her husband but he dismissed her. SHe said that she thought he was looking for her daughter when he found Hailey.
This is a good article and there is one comment in the comments section that stands out to me about his behavior at school.I think more will come out soon enough.http://www.kansascity.com/2014/02/20/4838949/past-of-man-suspected-of-killing.html
I read the the funeral home is doing the funeral for free.
Anyone know what the next step is in the legal process??? Nothing until March 19th? (Sorry, I am really new with this stuff)
Her poor family. How horrific for them to be able to read the contents of the search warrant - including the inventory found... heartbreaking!
From the article above-actually it was this that stood out to me:
.....The Woods have hired attorneys Dee Wampler and Joseph Passanise to serve as their spokespersons during this process. In a statement released Thursday evening, the attorneys said the Woods are cooperating fully with law enforcement.
This unexpected incident involving their son, Craig, has been a shock and they are grieving, the statement read. They join the rest of the community praying as their hearts pour out to the Owens family.

Prior to modification of inheritance/estate taxes, trust funds were commonly used to maximize inheritance dollars landing in kids' hands after their parents' death. If that's what is at play here (family trust), he can't touch that money until his parents are deceased. It's their money, sheltered so to speak, intended as inheritance.
Well that is sad for the sibling. Unless they have one for him too.
That's a good point. Trust funds can be set up so many different ways. He may inherit a lump sum in the event of his parents’ death. They could have set up a trust to ensure the money wasn't squandered quickly in the hope it could just supplement the perps income and help him live a nice life, but without enough surplus income for it to become a problem.
Just in case anyone isn't sure (or hasn't seen earlier posts which I think discuss the fact that the perp may not have access to this money) how they may work. There are many, many different ways that trust finds can be used. People who are awarded large sums for example through compensation often have trusts which allow them to take money as they wish. It doesn't seem like this is the case (as it's in his parents name). They're possibly trying to reduce the inheritance taxes associated with the perp or anyone else would have to pay on receipt of the money. They may also just want a tax efficient way to save their money.
So the perp could inherit the lot in the event of his parents death. It is very common for people to receive lump sum payments from a trust a different intervals, such as every 10 years or on significant birthdays. He may get a monthly allowance to top up his income over a set number of years plus interest accumulated.
This would mean he couldn't take money from the trust at any other time than outlined in the trust. This isn't money he can get his hands on.
That most likely explains why he still needs his parents to co-sign, he has a low income from his job.
Usually the biggest chunk of a family trust is real estate/property, unless there is a substantial retirement account. The parents' home or other property they own/co-own, including collectible firearms, jewelry, vehicles, etc. My family has a trust. We are not wealthy-schmealthy people. But my parents did buy a few properties decades ago, and at last valuation, the trust showed $X in valuation for the real estate, based on appraisals at that time (~10 years ago). The trust's valuation isn't constantly updated, so on paper 1 million dollars, if largely stocks or real estate, could well be far less (even 1/2) thanks to real estate values plummeting nationwide and stock market slumps hitting pensions/401Ks really hard.
Why would the parents need an attorney,maybe it is to protect the million dollar trust fund.
