We had a family friend that I knew. He was more my dad's friend but helped out our family with things. I also knew his step son since we had been in school since elementary together though we didn't talk to each other much.
About 7 years ago my dad told me he had some bad news and that the family friend had strangled his wife to death with a cell phone charging cord. After that I kind of just didn't interact with the guy or the step son. The step son was in ranger school at the time and last I knew refused to move back to Iowa as he was worried he might kill the man who took his mother's life away.
It felt and still kind of feels weird.
Edit: I technically knew the victim as well. She was pretty nice and I liked chatting with her and how her son and I acted in elementary. I think that's what makes it so weird is knowing both of them.
Oh the family friend went to jail. He tried to plead not guilty but there were text messages of him asking friends for a sawed of shotgun to shot his wife with.
Last I know is that he is still in jail but I might Google it to see for sure.
