I remember that case. Just reading it I could feel my anger flaring and blood pressure rising. If that happened to a loved one in my family I don't know if I could keep it together knowing they were alive.

Gosh, either way would be a sick way to go. Who would think of pouring flammable liquid down someone........evil doesn't even describe some people!

Makes one wonder what in their culture, family life would give them these ideas for killing others. Several reports said drugs were involved, I have seen many people on various drugs and this was not drug related.

They may have been high on some kind of drug, but it wasn't the drugs that made them do it!

The odds are that it was personal. It doesn't mean 100%, all the time, every time. Investigators know that more often than not, those types of crimes are personal. It's not black and white - they key words are "most likely" or "more often than not" or "strangers don't tend to do this type of thing". Statistics do play a part.

Reading that story, I'm thinking the reason they poured bleach on her and down her throat was to try to get rid of any evidence.

Investigators are hoping Jessica Chambers' final words will lead them to the killer or killers who burned the 19-year-old teenager alive in a gruesome murder Saturday that has stunned the small Mississippi community of Courtland.

Chambers, of Panola County, was found badly burned on a road near her burning car Saturday night in what authorities have labeled a homicide.

Or...if caught...place them in a bruning auto.

I don't think our methods of torture were severe enough. I was hoping to read more about lots of deaths and less about playing rock music for days on end.

Sadly, this is what I'm thinking too. That, or another cheerleader mom who resented this girl's success over her daughter's.
