      It may have been their excuse, but normal people don't go to murder over custody unless you (they) were already messed up in the head with their own issues. Yes, that child would be better off never knowing what happened, then knowing the truth. She will be messed up enough for not having her family raise her. But being around the creeps that did the murdering, would never be a good idea either.

Raise them and NEVER mention their ties to that family, and let the Wagners know before putting them to death that the children they murdered for will NOT ever know of them, hear about them, share their last name, nor see them. They will, figuratively and literally, be DEAD to them.

      What a pointless, unnecessary, uninvited, ugly comment, especially where these victims and the innocent little children left without 3 generations of family members, and no parents to love and raise them at all now, are concerned. Implying a diploma could or did have a thing to do with the evil living in this family of murderers, like it would of made a difference for the 8 people who did not deserve to die, diploma or not, is pretty ignorant in and of itself... Lack of education wasn't the issue here. It's lack of morals, compassion, empathy, kindness, understanding, and then some that contributed to these cold hearted killings. So I don't understand why you'd want to waste time with that ugliness except to get a cheap laugh out of another's tragedies. Which is quite compassionless and unempathetic in itself..... Not really funny to the majority of decent people on here..... and I'd question how educated anyone who would think it was a joking matter is myself. Why not save it for a post that didn't cost 8 lives, maybe it'll find a better reception there? Or better yet, find something actually worth doing with your time.

    Forget the death penalty. Put them all in jail & plaster the walls with the pictures of all the deceased that they were responsible for. My own parents grew up poor during the depression & never turned to crime. I hate that being a part of an Appalachian county is an excuse to turn to crime. Many people find ways to earn a living without being a criminal. Praying for the little girl to have a safe life away from that environment.
