From glassdog we have the following charming story:So, 16 year old Rachelle Waterman had a difficult life of shopping, working a $10/hr computer job, eating vodka soaked fruit, volleyball, honor roll and choir practice. No, really, her mom (who spent a lot of time doing vounteer work with children and was allegedly beloved in the community of Craig, AL) wanted to send her to fat camp. So, naturally, Rachelle enlisted the help of two 24 year old ex-boyfriends and had her murdered. Oh, yes, you budding MeFi detectives, its all too real. And what was the final entry of our young ringleader whose Live Journal is aptly titled My Crappy Life? before the police seized her computer?
Just to let everyone know, my mother was murdered
I wont have computer acess (sic) until the weekend or so because the police took my computer to go through the hard drive. I thank everyone for their thoughts and e-mails, I hope to talk to you when I get my computer back.
At least she wrote some bad poetry before they took the computer away.
Y’know, I’ve known people who killed their parents. But this is the first time I’ve ever seen one quite so– public.
And does it worry you like it worries me that an honor roll student seems so incapable of spelling and constructing a grammatical sentence?
Or should it worry me more that the last entry has almost 4000 comments?
Are you kidding? Have you ever been to LiveJournal? Assuming those people are typical American students, a post like that looks like a Rhodes Scholar wrote it.
Of course, I don’t know for sure whether this girl is as cold and calculating as the story makes her seem, but this sent a shudder through me. It amazes me the trivial things that can drive some people to murder.
Yeah, but she has “a wide viritey of interests and talents”.
