    I went to school with a guy who’s father was one of the cops that investigated this in Texas. This is indeed the progenitor of Halloween panic.

      Ah but it isn’t the progenitor at all. He only thought he’d get away with it, because everyone knows crazy people poison the halloween candy. He believed the police wouldn’t even investigate because it’s so common.

      The media frenzy each year is in fact directly responsible for the murder.
