In all, there were 46 potential witnesses to the shooting, including Trena McElroy, who was in the truck with her husband when he was shot. No one called for an ambulance.[9] Only Trena claimed to identify a gunman; every other witness either was unable to name an assailant or claimed not to have seen who fired the fatal shots.[10] The DA declined to press charges. An extensive Federal investigation did not lead to any charges.

I have a former work colleague/drinking bud who grew up in Skidmore. He said everyone knew who did it, but he wouldn't tell me. This guy was about 13 when it happened.

Read the book "In broad daylight" about the murder last year. Great book and a great story.

The McElroy sounded like a real doucher.

I actually interviewed a guy who McElroy tried to kill. Stop into the town sometime, it has a vibe I haven't noticed anywhere else.

Quote
As the bear was less than a year old, he initially had problems swallowing and was fed with condensed milk from an emptied vodka bottle. The bear was subsequently fed with fruit, marmalade, honey and syrup, and was often rewarded with beer, which became his favourite drink. He also enjoyed smoking and eating cigarettes.[3][4] He enjoyed wrestling and was taught to salute when greeted. The bear became quite an attraction for soldiers and civilians alike, and soon became an unofficial mascot of all units stationed nearby.

Sounds like killing him was a community clean up project.

Only morbidly fascinating. This is the most gruesome spree I've ever heard of. Again it is pretty brutal so be warned.

Damn: The suspects were also found in possession of multiple photographs showing them attending funerals of the victims. They can be seen smiling and "flipping off" the coffins and gravestones

For some reason, this is nearly as sick as the killings.
