Over a three day period from June 22nd to June 24th of 2007 a tragedy occurred that was on a magnitude that we don’t see very often.  Not because of what happened perhaps, because sadly those circumstances do exist on a near daily, if not daily basis, in the world around us.  However, the part of the story that makes this stand out from the others was WHO was committing the acts in question.  It is not so often that we see someone who is a public figure, someone who lives in the public eye every day commit acts like the ones that we are going to talk about today.  Over those three days, the man in question would murder his son, his wife and then take his own life.  The story runs deep and to set the scene we are going to go WAY back because of the theories and the things that are believed to have played  apart here.  We are going to discuss the life and final days of a man who is known by fans of professional wrestling and true crime all over the world.
