Alabama
"Ala. children tortured, warrants say" by Associated Press / December 10, 2010
An Alabama man charged with murdering his two young children allowed their stepmother to torture them by binding the little girl and boy with duct tape, stuffing one in a suitcase, and forcing the other to stand in a corner all night, according to arrest warrants.
Too bad he didn't work for the state. Then there would be no charges and he would be absolved.
John DeBlase, 27, is charged with two counts of murder, child abuse, and corpse abuse. Scattered bones and a skull found in the woods of rural Mississippi on Wednesday are believed to be the remains of his 3-year-old son, Chase. Authorities are still searching for the remains of his 5-year-old daughter, Natalie.
