The latest gruesome crime out of Texas doesn’t break the mold:
What, neighbors at the Red Oak Place apartments wondered, was going on in the unit where 27-year-old Timothy Wayne Shepherd lived? What was he burning at all hours, for days at a time? The answer turned their stomachs.

This crime was so gruesome. What a sick guy. I guess we can say he’s another Wayne.
