Hello,

You know how much I LOVE true crime incidents that involve a SLAVE
slaughtering his or her creators. And we have just such a case unfolding in
Connecticut. On Wednesday, the dead bodies of 62 year old Judith Fyler and her
50 year old hubby were found inside of their home. They had both been shot to
death, and their DOG was shot to death as well! The bodies were actually found
by home improvement contractors who were at the house to do some work. It is
NOT clear how long the two had been dead, but they definately were murdered.

Police had no initial suspects, but rather quickly they decided that they
wanted to question/interrogate the 35 year old son of our dead couple. He was
the biological son of Judith, and the stepson of her Hubby. David is the name
of our 35 year old slave, and he does have a history of mental illness. In
fact, David was committed to a loony bin, against his will, in 1995, most
likely with the aid of his Mommy and stepDaddy.

Yesterday, police went to son-slave David's home to try and question him. But
they were greeted by quite a surprise. David was DEAD, inside of his home. Yup,
he sadly killed himself. Police are now almost certain that David DID murder
both his parents, then went back to his own home and at some point in time,
committed suicide. He did not leave a suicide note, however. Bummer! Oh well,
at least he had a few HOURS, maybe even a full day, to savor his
accomplishment. He ended the lives of BOTH his slaveowners, but waited until
age 35 to do so. Just imagine how much rage and hate can build up in a person,
due to 35 long years of enslavement.

David used a shotgun to commit this massacre, and shot himself to death with
this same gun. Shotguns are FINE weapons for family massacres, as long as you
have a LIMITED number of people that you want to kill.

A longtime friend of David's says that he did abuse drugs and had undeniable
mental instability, mood swings, and suffered from manic depression.The friend
tells us that just a few months ago, David showed him a shotgun that he had
just purchased, and: "He started beating me up when I wouldn't accept his
delusional statements that he was Jimmy Page and god." Oh well, nothing wrong
with being a bit delusional at times.

Neighbors tell us that David, who did have his own apartment, was very
reclusive and didn't interact 'normally' with fellow humans at his apartment
complex. Police say they don't expect to ever know exactly what triggered slave
David's explosion of rage. He took that answer with him, to his own grave,
unfortunately. But ya gotta give David credit. He decided upon a course of
action, and he successfully carried out a double murder of his parents, and
killed their dog as well, before killing himself. Plenty of aspiring killers
BOTCH their plans and only end up wounding their targets. BUt despite any
mental illness, David got his MISSION ACCOMPLISHED with complete success.

Take care, JOE

appear to be a random act of violence.

Troubled History Ends With Fatal Shootings

By PAUL H. JOHNSON, DANIELA ALTIMARI
and PHIL LEMOS

This story ran in the Courant September 25, 1998

SIMSBURY -- For years, the relationship between David Alzmann and his mother
had been unpredictable and strained.

Monday they went out together for ice cream.

Tuesday, police say, he fatally shot her in her kitchen, along with her husband
and their dog. They believe he later took his own life with the same weapon he
used to kill Judith and Anson Fyler Jr. in their Briarwood Drive home.

Alzmann, an unemployed guitarist with a history of mental illness and an
apparent drug problem, had repeatedly menaced and bullied Judith Fyler several
times, according to police reports.

After police found the Fylers' bodies early Wednesday at the couple's Briarwood
Drive home, they spent the day looking for the 35-year-old son. They wanted to
question him about the killings.

Just after midnight Thursday morning, members of a regional SWAT team, wearing
protective vests and armed with a search warrant, stormed Alzmann's Country
Lane apartment. They found his body in the hall and a shotgun nearby.

Preliminary tests indicate the shotgun shells found at the Fylers' home match
those found inside the apartment.

Police say Alzmann was their main suspect. "Our primary focus [was] on him,"
Simsbury police Lt. John Mendela said.

A burly man who resembled Grateful Dead singer Jerry Garcia, Alzmann frequently
had dramatic mood swings, according to police reports. In fact, Judith Fyler
called police in December 1993 to warn the officers about her youngest child.

"Ms. Fyler wants our [department] to be aware of a potential problem with her
son," the police report states. "Alzmann is reportedly manic-depressive. During
the past two weeks, he has experienced drastic and violent mood swings."

Judith Fyler, 62, attributed her son's instability to allergy medicine,
according to the report. After an outburst, her son would usually call back
minutes later and apologize, she told police.

Police told her she could obtain a court order barring Alzmann from the house,
but she chose not to.

Gregory Maclin, who has known Alzmann since they attended Squadron Line
Elementary School together in the early 1970s, said his one-time buddy abused
drugs. In September 1995, Alzmann was taken to Hartford Hospital after a drug
overdose, police records indicate.

According to Maclin, Alzmann was unable to hold down a job. But he was
something of a guitar whiz. The two played in a band together in the early
'80s, drinking beer and jamming for hours, he said. With Maclin playing drums
and Alzmann on guitar, they played the music of Bob Seger, Lynyrd Skynyrd and
other '70s rockers.

"He was really talented," Maclin said. "He wasted it."

Maclin, 35, is a familiar figure to police, and acknowledged that for a time he
became romantically obsessed with Judith Fyler, sending her notes and
repeatedly telephoning. She reported the harassment to police, but declined to
press charges, police records show.

Maclin last saw Alzmann several months ago when Alzmann showed him a shotgun he
had recently purchased. "He had delusions that he was [Led Zeppelin guitarist]
Jimmy Page and God," Maclin said. "He started beating on me because I wouldn't
accept that."

Alzmann's neighbors had long been puzzled by his strange behavior.

"He was very reclusive. You couldn't get his attention," said Wendy Platt,
whose apartment was directly below Alzmann's.

Platt recalled hearing Alzmann's constant, late-night pacing. "He was up all
night," she said. "I just assumed he had a day job."

Others living in the orange-brick apartment complex described Alzmann as a
recluse who kept late hours and wouldn't make eye contact.

His apartment was a wreck, neighbors said. Rooms were crammed with video and
music equipment, and newspaper clippings littered the floor.

"It was like walking into a garbage dump," Maclin said. Alzmann's black Camaro
convertible was similary slovenly.

In November 1995, an officer knocked on Alzmann's door after receiving a
complaint. They found a broken window and a screen knocked out. Large holes had
been punched in the wall.

Alzmann told police he was having "a bad day." The officer issued a summons for
threatening, a charge that was later reduced to creating a public disturbance.

In sharp contrast to Alzmann's reclusive existance, his mother and stepfather
were regarded as warm and caring. Judith Fyler often greeted her neighbors as
she walked her dog. She had recently taken a job as a sales clerk at The
Limited in the Avon Marketplace shopping center.

Anson Fyler Jr., 50, worked as a marketing communications expert at CIGNA for
12 years. He left the company in 1992 to start his own marketing firm but
returned last year, said CIGNA spokesman Rick Goulart.

"He was a very creative, very focused and very dedicated individual," Goulart
said.

Anson Fyler earned a master's degree from the University of Hartford in 1973
and later taught a creative writing course at the school.

Judith Fyler made friends quickly. When workers began building a porch on her
home, she was quick to strike up conversation and offer bagels and coffee.

Sometimes, she talked about her family and the troubles with her son, said Paul
Roberts, owner of the construction firm doing the renovation. Before Alzmann
came by on Monday, she warned the contractors that her son had troubles with
drugs and was mentally ill. She said her son might claim to be singer Ozzy
Osbourne.

Judith Fyler's surviving son, Michael, declined to discuss the tragedy.

Dozens of officers from Simsbury, Avon, Bloomfield and the state police major
crime squad as well as investigators from the Hartford County State's
Attorney's office worked the case.

But police concede they probably will never know what prompted Alzmann to shoot
his mother and stepfather and then himself. He did not leave a suicide note.
