Hammer Man!

[eddiememphis]

Cool story, almost like reading from a Stephen King book...
Well written too, you may consider putting it on paper.

Thanks.

As to motive?

"Ewing has been behind bars in Nevada since the summer of 1984 after he escaped there while being transported to Kingman, Arizona, from St. George, Utah, for a court appearance on attempted murder and burglary charges. His sentence runs through 2037 but he would be eligible for parole in 2021.

Nevada court records show a jury found Ewing, under the name Alex C. Ewing, was guilty of escaping from the custody of two Arizona sheriff's deputies at a gas station in Henderson, Nevada, southeast of Las Vegas on Aug. 9, 1984, and entering an unlocked home and severely beating a woman and her husband with an ax handle in their bedroom. Two young boys were asleep in other rooms in the house.

Ewing, then 23, was arrested again two days later about 15 miles away by park rangers at Lake Mead."

Seems to me, the guy is just a nut.

Hammer Man was in my best friends neighborhood! Just a few houses down. They wouldn't shut up about it. I will have to send this to them. They were talking about it this summer at a bbq.

34 friggin' years..... Glad it's finally solved, but the survivors will still never be right again. Bastard needs to be hung immediately.
