The Beginning of The End for Kaylee Grace
Like so many children today, Kaylee Grace became a child of divorce. In 2007 divorce plaqued the parents of Kaylee Grace, because of the adulterous affair of Kaylee Grace's mother. In December of 2008 the divorce was final. The man Kaylee Grace's mother was having an affair was also in the process of divorce himself at the time. In April 2009 Kaylee Grace's mother married this man. This man was coming out of a dysfunctional marriage and had three children of his own. A heated custody battle ensued between this man and his ex-wife. Deadly threats were made by the ex-wife and her present boyfriend. The heated custody battle and threats were kept silent from Kaylee Grace's father and family by her mother. According to testimony, in September of 2009, the custody battle had escalated into to a time bomb waiting to explode. Kaylee Grace was right in the middle of this bomb waiting to explode. On October 23, 2009 the ex-wife and her boyfriend carried out a plan of murder. Kaylee Grace, her mother and her mother's husband were all executed. I can not call this man a step-father, because had he not brought all this turmoil into the life of Kaylee Grace she would still be with her loved ones today. First the ex-husband was shot, Kaylee Grace's mother and then Kaylee Grace. A 9mm pistol was put to the back of Kaylee Grace's head and the trigger pulled. As Kaylee Grace's grandfather, the horror and the fear that Kaylee Grace must have endured that night, will haunt me for the remainder of my life. On September 6, 2012 the two murderers were sentenced to several life sentences without parole by plea agreement by the United States Department of Justice. To the family of Kaylee Grace, this sentence was not fair to Kaylee Grace or her family. Nothing less than a death sentence should have been given these two murderers. Neither of the murderers have shown any remorse, guilt or regrets for what they did the night of October 23, 2009. We are only left with our precious memories of Kaylee Grace while these two murderers live out their lives because they were too cowardily to accept just punishment for their crime. Each day we are confronted with the question, Why, Kaylee Grace? This situation was between adults, not a small five year old child.
