Craig Rideout murder
#1
Interesting tabloid style case being tried right now in Rochester, didn't see another thread for it. If I'm duping please feel free to merge.
TL: DR version: ugly divorce and custody battle between suburban couple, hubby gets custody, wifey wants to leave town with kids, some of them teens, she has a new scumbag boyfriend. Hubby disappears and is found dead in a forest by a frigging Mennonite farmer no less, and wifey, scummy BF, and two of her teen boys are implicated in the murder and disfigurement of daddy. All kinds of video evidence and trailer park drama. Plus, not for nothing one of the two boys looks a LOT like the boyfriend. Just saying.

Thank god I am oblivious to the opinions of others while caught in the blinding splendor of my own cleverness.

I saw an old episode of DATELINE last weekend which focused on the Craig Rideout murder.  What a sad story for Craig's loved ones and the community.

Police charged the ex-wife Laura and one of the two youngest sons, Colin, with murdering Craig using a homemade garrote, pouring acid on his face and hands, wrapping him in a tarp, and dumping his body in the woods.  

Laura and Colin Rideout were found guilty by juries.

Laura Rideout will be eligible for parole when she's 83 and Colin Rideout when he's 50.

The other teen son, Alex, was charged and convicted of being an accomplice in the cover up and could be out in a couple of more years with good behavior.

The scummy boyfriend Paul Tucci (who'd been a lifelong friend of Craig's) was charged with murder and tampering too; he was seen on video with the ex-wife buying a tarp and gloves shortly before the murder and his DNA was found on the items.  However, he was acquitted by a jury and is a free man today.  He says he, Laura, and the boys are all innocent and he visits her in prison every other day.
