Well nice to see something positive come from all this sorrow he created! Too bad he didn't do it before he kidnapped, raped and murdered her. Not to mention the shear terror she was put through.

No big loss on a monsters death.

I simply have no kindness for people that intentionally hurt others that are not able to protect themselves.

Agreed, only sad that he didn't kill himself years ago.

Only bad thing is he leaves so many unanswered questions, and a trail of missing people who will most likely never be found.

Wow, what a piece of ****. The least he could have done after hurting so many people is allow his victims' family and friends to have a real ending to this.

Great news. A mass suicide of types like that would be wonderful.

All that would have come out is more pain and suffering for the families. At least no more trials for the people to have to sit through. Closure really never comes to people that have had losses like that. Least the scumbag isn't breathing air, getting fat and wasting taxpayers money. I can't imagine the pain of having someone murdered and the vile scum sitting fat and sassy on death row for 15 or 20 years. They think more of the prisoners rights than the victims.

Well in spite of those that may be missing after encountering this piece of scum, it won't happen again!

Same reason I'm 100% for the death penally, most exonerated off death row are due to "court" protocol, not that they didn't murder the victim. The argument that one innocent person put to death it a travesty is a good point, but in the meantime people are killed daily by people drinking and driving and in most cases the drunk driver walks with a slap on the wrist. Tens of thousands of families lose love ones from these accidents every year and it barely gets a nod verses one death row inmate that was wrongly put to death and gets National attention with Hollywood stars banging the drum for a cause that is mute by comparison.

I guess accidents happen, just try to error on the safety of the public is much more important.

It's good that he's dead, but a shame it came before investigators could understand how many people he killed, who they were, and where their remains are. Now there will never be closure for the untold number of victims' families. They should have had him on suicide watch.
