This man killed his son on Halloween in 1974 and killed Halloween as it used to be. Some of my schoolmates lived in the same neighborhood. He was executed in 1984. He never owned up to his crime either.

Horrific story. What is more evil than murdering children.....

I came upon this in another article chronicling the heinous crime:


Before and since the Deer Park poisoning, rumors of dodgy sweets being handed out have always surfaced around Halloween. But whether the fear is that the candies contain broken glass and razor blades, or that they're actually ecstasy pills, there's not much evidence to suggest parents actually have anything to worry about.



In 2000, a man in Minneapolis was charged with putting needles in the Snickers bars he'd handed out to trick-or-treaters—but the only victim he claimed was a teenager who got a slight prick from the hidden sharp object. Since Timothy O'Bryan, there hasn't been a single case where a child has actually died after consuming contaminated Halloween treats.

So at least there is that to be thankful for.
