Alan Michael Tanguay cries in court.

Alan Michael Tanguay cries in court.










I guess if I were going to court for a violent, brutal murder I would be in tears as well.

But with Alan Michael Tanguay its hard to believe this alleged cold blooded killer really was emotional over his crime.

In case you forgot he is accused of breaking into the home of Patricia Kaliszeski and then he nearly decapitated her over $6 bucks he stole so he could buy beer.

Now with reading different comments about Alan he has had a pretty bad life up to this point and it seems his life took a turn for the worse when he allegedly committed this murder.

I have read several comments on different blogs by anonymous bloggers claiming that they knew Alan Tanguay growing up and some said it was hard to believe that this teen was capable of this crime, while others shed a little more light on his upbringing.

Some anonymous bloggers said that Alan M. Tanguay had a life alone. He had a mother that was never there for him and never tried to help him. There was apparently drug abuse in the home and just over all the kid had a tough life.

Now I feel bad for the kid and certainly don’t think that any child should have to suffer just because his parent(s) are addicted to drugs. But at the same time I really have no sympathy for Alan Tanguay since he made a conscious choice to nearly decapitate his neighbor.

With Alan the remorse is almost hard to believe with his MySpace account as it was.

It has been reported that his MySpace said “I like gory shit, like people getting their necks slit and tongues pulled out.

Now even more interesting is the comments he made before his arrest. Alan Tanguay had been allegedly bragging to friends that he had murdered other before this arrest.

But none the less when it was time for court, Alan Tanguay broke down into tears.

Maybe it was his tough street guy attitude was overpowered by reality.

During court it was ordered that he would remain in custody until the prosecutors decided if they would charge him as an adult.

Alan Tanguay, 16 – a high school drop out, was shackled and was assigned a public defender after the judge heard a brief amount of the evidence.

In court it was said that Tanguay stabbed the victim multiple times and slit her throat to ensure she died.

Even though Tanguay was having his emotional break down in court, I wonder what effect his obscene outburst with the media had on people in court. Then after his obscene outburst, he returned to crying in court.

After the hearing his mom refused any and all questions about her son and neighbor.

Tanguay has a history of arrest and has been through the juvenile court system before. His prior arrest includes battery and burglary.

This case will not end in the usual outcome of juvenile arrest and the case will more than likely be presented to the Grand Jury to determine if Tanguay should be tried as an adult.

Now this is just my opinion, I think there should be no question about how this case should be handled by the courts. I personally think he should be tried as an adult and given the most extreme punishment allowed by law and if that happens to be the death penalty, so be it.

Tanguay’s attitude towards this case makes one wonder if there is anything there left to work with. His time spent bragging about killing others before this arrest, his crying in court and then an obscene outburst and then right back to crying and shaking and we cannot forget what he posted on MySpace.

I feel bad for the kid and no child should have to grow up living a life like he had, but at the same time people have to take some personal responsibility for their actions. Tanguay elected to commit a brutal, violent murder and stabbed a lady to death and consciously decided to slit her throat to ensure she died, he in my opinion is too far gone to even try to help.

Hopefully the courts will get things in order and get him tried as an adult and keep him right where he belongs, in prison off the streets.

Michigan teen gets life in prison for murder

Michigan teen gets life in prison for murder.

A Michigan teen was in court on Friday October 31 and has been given life in prison with the chance for parole in 20 years.

Kristina Adkins, 16, pleaded guilty to second degree murder on October 10.

The teen in court claimed she had been mistreated by her grandmother. (Wonder what she claims to be mistreatment?)

So what did the teen do? Adkins at the age of 13 elected to poison her grandmother.
Adkins drug of choice for the poisoning was morphine.

The judge elected not to buy into the mistreatment claim and kept the sentence the same. The judge could have elected to send Adkins to a juvenile facility until she was 21, but the judge elected to give Adkins an adult sentence to life in prison.
Sadly she does have the possibility of parole in 20 years.

A court official said Adkins was emotional and crying. The official also stated that he thought “she realized some serious consequences were going to hit.”

The court official also stated that he judge had received numerous letters from family members supporting a light sentence and an equal amount of letters supporting a severe sentence.

The judge elected to pursue the severe adult sentence for this teen. Thankfully the judge did take severe measures with a murderer.


Virginia Bentley murdered by her 13 year old grand daughter.

Starting young in South Carolina, 14 year old arrested for murder.

Starting young in South Carolina, 14 year old arrested for murder.



That’s right a 14 year old has been arrested and charged with two counts of murder. He shot and killed his mother who happened to be 8 months pregnant.



Sherryle Terry, 38, was shot several times Sunday night in her Darlington, SC home.

Mom and unborn baby both died on scene. There has not been a lot of other information released, but the 12 year old sister was also shot in the neck. She is expected to survive.

The sister had to play dead after she was shot. She had to wait for her brother to leave the house to move again. No information was released if he will be charged for shooting his sister as well.

It was reported that the baby was not shot but died as a result of the mom dying.

Prosecutors are not wasting any time in this case and have already announced they will seek to have him tried as an adult.

Hopefully they get that request granted. This kid apparently has some serious issues and needs to be dealt with in the most severe manor of the law.

Of course I’m sure some will want to post that he just needs some counseling. I think shooting your pregnant mother and sister is well beyond counseling. This kid has some serious problems and needs to be dealt with in a serious manor.



Now one would want to know what was going on in that household to make a 14 year old think the only answer was to murder two people and shoot his own sister. What was so bad at home to make this happen? I’m sure we will find out soon enough but even as bad as things may have been in his home it certainly did not justify the murder of two people.

I think this will be an interesting case to learn more about.

Police stated they have no motive for this crime and also reported that the 14 year old had not been in trouble with Law Enforcement before this incident.

What a way to start a criminal history. With no criminal history, it was reported that the teen was recently kicked out of his home because he joined a gang. The teen returned home this weekend and was upset that his mom was pregnant. No other information has been released about the background of this household.

Hopefully prosecution will also aggressively seek charges on the gang the teen was able to join. Wonder if this was his was to pay his dues to the gang?

There has been no information about the father or if there was a father in the home.

This is truly a tragedy. I hope and pray the sister does make a full recovery and has some family there in the area for her. I could not imagine being 12 years old and lose all of your immediate family because your brother elected to murder them.
The brother of Sherryle Terry was in the media talking about how much Sherryle loved her family and how they were hoping the baby would be born before November 8th.

12 year arrested for murder

12 year arrested for murder.


In Cochise County in Douglas, AZ police were called to a residence close to the Mexican border for shots fired.

Earlier in the night it was reported that an argument broke out in the Madrid household. The mother, step dad and a sibling were home when the argument broke out. No one has reported what the argument was over. The mother and step dad decided to leave for a little while.

Not sure why they elected to leave. This proved to be a fatal mistake for Sara Madrid, 34. Once Sara Madrid returned home, her 12 year old opened fire with a handgun and Madrid was hit multiple times.

Investigators started providing first aid to Sara Madrid when they arrived on scene. However, she later died at the hospital. No one else was injuried.

Even though they were busy providing first aid, they also were able to take the 12 year old son into custody. The 12 year old was booked into the county juvenile detention center.

He has been charged with first-degree murder.
