The Japanese foreign exchange student, I remember that. The night before Halloween this boy and another got dressed up in costumes to go to a Halloween party. They had a leaflet with directions but it had the wrong address on it. They went to the door of the house and rang the bell. A woman opened the door and one boy said they were there for the party and holds up the leaflet. Bizarrely, the woman screamed, slammed the door shut and announced they were being robbed. The two boys assumed they had the wrong house and started to leave. I think that next the garage door of this house flew open and a man with a rifle or shotgun, I forget, yells, "Freeze!" The Japanese boy for some reason began to walk toward the man--apparently trying to reason with him or perhaps thinking it was some kind of Halloween prank or maybe he didn't know what the term meant. The man gunned him down.

Can you imagine sending your kid to experience another country and he's all excited about going and you send him off figuring he's going to have a great time and lots of stories to tell when he comes back and the goddamned sons-of-bitches take your only child away in a most brutal fashion for no fucking reason? The killer was also acquitted of murder at his trial.
