Sad, But Not Unexpected

MSNBC reports:

Father charged in girls’ slayings

A man was arrested on murder charges Tuesday in the Mother's Day stabbings of his 8-year-old daughter and the little girl's best friend, who were killed after they went biking in a park.

Jerry Hobbs, who was recently released from prison, had led police to the bodies just off a wooded bike path early Monday, claiming he spotted them while searching for his daughter, the girl's grandfather, Arthur Hollabaugh, told The Associated Press.

Hobbs, 34, was questioned through the day about the deaths of Laura Hobbs, 8, and Krystal Tobias, 9.

Oh, how I wish it had been a random crazed killer! The horror and feelings little Laura felt must have been amplified a hundred fold, knowing that it was her father that was doing this to her. Incredible Daughter #3 is just 10, and my synapses blank out when I try to conceive of what Hobbs did.

The loss of innocents ... the demons that possess ... the saddness of living in this world.
