This site is dedicated to the memory of Julie and John my much loved and missed sister and brother-in-law.
Two beautiful, loving and caring people who never did wrong to anyone murdered in their new home of 10 days in front of
their seven children on the 20th July 2000.
The person who shot them, was convicted on the 6th September 2002
to life imprisonment and eligible for parole in 20 years from the day he shot them.
He was unknown to Julie and
John and for 6 months he monitored their every movement, as well as videotaping them doing normal everyday things such as playing with their children in their
front yard and when they went grocery shopping etc. He didn't have anything particularly exciting to report back,
because Julie and John were simply a happily married couple who devoted their time to loving and caring for their
children and providing them with a safe and stable family environment.

He waited until they came to the front door to answer it and then shot them through the glass
panel of their front door before they even opened it, Julie was standing behind John and the one bullet went through both
of them and richocheted off the wall. He then burst in through the door and fired more shots at both of them. He did
this with the full knowledge that all seven children were inside.
(I used to have his name here because
I wanted people to know who this cold and calculating killer was, however, I've now removed it upon realising that his
name isn't worth mentioning at the risk of any misconceived glorification.)
As a consequence of flaws in our
justice system, the others involved continue to live their lives as free citizens.
This tragic end to their
lives was the culmination of jealousy, obsession, greed and lies.
Their lives may have been stolen but no-one
can ever steal our memories.
They are deeply missed by all their families and friends.
Our hearts go out to all their children who are always in our thoughts.
Rest in peace Julie and John ....
