GUILTY IL - Kimberly Vaughn, 34, & 3 children slain, Channahon Twp, 14 June 2007

[DEPUTYDAWG]

I don't think that it is judgmental. I prefer to think of it as being objective or making an observation.

:crazy: Yes, I like that way of thinking of it! :crazy:

What a slime he is...I'll never understand. Never.

 

[DEPUTYDAWG]

I thought the same thing looking at his booking photo......dark and evil.

Kinda makes one wonder if he always had that dark look...I get the chills just looking at his photo...

 

[zadari]

i sure hope my new little daughter never ends up with anything like that ...for those of you that this type of thing has happened to with family yourselves or friends . i truely am sorry and hope god is always with you all . that poor family . i wonder if they saw eachother die. god i hope not

 

[PrayersForMaura]

I bet he planned this. He probably had her pull over and pretended there was a problem with the luggage rack .... got out of the car, got his gun from one of the suitcases and shot everyone so fast that no one had time to react.

Either that, or they pulled over to rest and he shot them while they slept.

He's a sick bast*rd. How could anyone harm their family? They were such a beautiful family, too, with so much going for them. I hope he has nightmares!!

After LKL, on CNN, Sunday Spotlight is going to talk about the case. That is 10pm EST

 

[philamena]

Do you know any more details? Where does his girlfriend live? I wonder if the girlfriend even knew he was married with children. Now, of course, she knows that she was dating a mass murderer.

nanandjim,
Hi. I don't know anymore details. The above was mentioned Saturday night on one of the news shows.

Hi Guys,

I'm just horrified by this tragedy :-(

Please forgive me for jumping in on your thread here without being invited.

I don't normally have a lot of time to post on the forums but I have been following this case with interest and have been collecting my own personal timeline of information and thought I would share it for those who are interested. It's still a work in progress as I am adding to it as information becomes available.

Also, here's a link below to a full narrative I typed up on the Law & Order SVU S8 Ep20 that aired on May 8, 2007 for those who may not have seen the show. I don't normally watch Law & Order myself because I'm a CSI Las Vegas addict but I downloaded this one episode so I could watch it and type the narrative. It's kind of errie the parallels of this episode and the Vaughn murders. Please excuse any typing errors in the narrative.

Just watched SVU Very eery. Especially when the psychologist commented that the husband/father wouldn't ask for an attorney during the interrogation because he's such a narcissist - wow!

Only the dear ACandyRose could research a subject so completely.
Thank you.:blowkiss:

FYI-If you've followed the JBR case at all, you've probably visited ACR's site. She has the most extensive research, articles, archives, etc, etc, of anyone on the net.

--->>>Watching the last bit of it now, tuned in late, just when the murderer was in the hospital and had gone up to the hospital roof to smoke a cigarette. Watched the laser stuff tracking the bullet trajectory to show the murderer had self inflicted wounds.


I had been watching another channel, about the family who had little twin girls. Decide to have one more baby, then pregnant once more gave birth to sextuplets 3 more girls and 3 more little boys.


Hi A Candy Rose, what a special lady you are!!!!!!

Hi Camper !

The narrative I wrote up on the L&O SVU show is quite detailed as I wanted to make sure I caught everything, short of making a transcript of the show, because if this show was actually used by the father to simulate his plan then I wanted to be able to go back and compare notes later.

I'm hoping we can get some legal documents available to us also.

I see they set a $1 MILLION DOLLAR CASH BOND for him and apparently he's expected to fight extradition.

Interesting that the article stated:

But Baker said Vaughn was being held Sunday at the detention center on a different warrant -- a $1 million "out-of-state fugitive bond." Vaughn would have to post the full $1 million to secure his release, Baker said.

"He's a fugitive from the state of Illinois in Missouri, so the judge issued a whole different warrant," Baker said.

That struck me as odd in a legal sense.. Everyone knew he was going (went) to Missouri for the funerals. Though I must admit I don't know the ins / outs of law.

Thank you so much, ACandyRose! I am getting ready to read with great interest!

CandyRose,
I am wondering about your timeline....I read a published report that they had married the year after he graduated high school and had their first child 6 months later.

I don't see how he had time to complete an electrical engineering degree with children born to him at age 20 and 22 (which I think is fact because by all reports he is 32).

I wonder if the deception started with that degree.

Here's the article that doesn't mention college:

[angarella]

I can't seem at access Candy Rose's timeline. Anyone else having a problem loading it?

 

[LovingTheChaos]

I guess CV must have gone for a snack break & missed the part at then end where the husband was charged for the murders of his family. What a Cob.

 

[southcitymom]

One of the most interesting parts of ACandyRose's synopsis of the L&O:SVU episode is when the psychologist is explaining family annihlators. He says the key to these men is deep-seated narcissism - they truly don't believe that anyone matters but themselves.

twinkiesmom,

Most of what I have on my personal collection is from media reports or web resources and some of which I, myself researched so at this point I will have to wait to find corrections, if any so as to make the timeline as close as possible to their history.

I did find this correction:
===========================================
http://www.stltoday.com/stltoday/ne...AC17F24049F2BDE986257300000E88E9?OpenDocument

06/20/2007

"Christopher Vaughn, whose family was killed last week in the Chicago area, attended but did not graduate from the University of Missouri-Rolla. A report in Sunday's Metro section incorrectly reported his academic career."
===========================================

I'm also wondering at what point the deception started or what snapped along the way that changed the tragic destiny of this family. Was it something that just came about more recent or something that has been boiling for years and just came to a head or what?

I'm also wondering if Kimberly Vaughn's recent degree in criminal justice perhaps provided her with some insight, or discovery of some things about her husband that perhaps she questioned but kept quiet in her mind until further research.

A lot of questions and at this point not a lot of answers as to why this mother and her children were killed and why the killings took place just 3 days before their 13th wedding anniversary. Was Kimberly scheduled to be killed during their anniversary weekend and/or what changed that plan to include the children and as sad as it sounds how come the family dogs weren't included in the family annihilation?

And I'm thinking out loud here but unless the wife and all three children were killed suddenly and instantly without warning, I find it odd that the father would risk having four people fully capable of verbally or physically causing a major problem/scene for him during some arguement or confrontation between himself and the wife, if that was the case, to complete his plan with no interruptions. So I am thinking perhaps the children were drugged or asleep in the back seat of the car when they were killed.

And if that were the case then I'm thinking they were drugged prior to leaving the house that morning, maybe during breakfast, because they were only 23 miles or approx. 40 minutes on the road when the family was killed *IF* they left the house at the reported time according to the father's story.

So many questions........... :-(
