I guess that's true lemon but with the technology that we have now a days law enforcement can pretty much tie a killer to the crime scene. I'd love for that to be true but almost 40% of murders in the U.S. go unsolved. |

(Perfect candidates for the death penalty ...from a recent article from The Monitor) Teenagers rob, beat McAllen man to death in his bedroom
McALLEN - Miguel "Mike" Cahue always thought about others.
On a recent Father's Day, the 76-year-old McAllen resident barbecued fajitas in a park for people the Salvation Army was helping.
"He was always trying to help the less fortunate," said his daughter, Patty Scalise, of McAllen.
Now, seven people - including four teenagers - are accused of beating Cahue to death in his home last week.
Scalise's husband, Chuck, discovered his body in his bedroom at La Vista Mobile Home Park, near the intersection of McColl Road and La Vista Avenue about 10 a.m. Friday, according to McAllen police.
By Sunday night, investigators had taken seven people into custody for the crime, McAllen Police Chief Victor Rodriguez said Monday.
Four teenagers - a 14-year-old girl, a 15-year-old boy and two 16-year-old boys - were charged with capital murder Sunday, according to McAllen police spokesman Sgt. Joel Morales. Three other adults are set for capital murder charges at an arraignment Tuesday morning.
Because the teenagers are not adults, their identities have been withheld, Morales said. They remain in custody at the Hidalgo County Juvenile Detention Center in Edinburg. Should the district attorney's office choose to try them as adults, their names could be disclosed.
"These people didn't know him and they don't know what type of a man they took from us," Scalise said.
Cahue was a U.S. Army veteran who fought in the Korean War.
He worked as an inspector for the U.S. Department of Agriculture in his native Chicago before moving to Corpus Christi, then retiring from H & H Foods in Mercedes. He lost his wife in 2000, but is survived by four children and several grandchildren.
Preliminary autopsy reports show Cahue died from blunt force trauma, Morales said. Exactly where he suffered that trauma wasn't immediately known, he said.
Investigators believe Cahue let the group into his home, before they robbed and beat him to death, Rodriguez said.
Scalise, 48, said her father used to live in a larger house in McAllen. But when his wife died, he moved in to a smaller mobile home. Still, he kept a large television, computer and other valuable possessions.
"It's senseless," Scalise said of her father's killing. ‘They just (went) in there to steal stuff."
The news of Cahue's brutal attack rocked neighbors at the mobile home park Monday afternoon.
Residents said people typically keep to themselves, though the neighborhood has seen its share of petty crimes.
Gloria Rodriguez, 57, said her air conditioner and the pipes that connect the unit to her home were stolen last year. Since then, she said she props a chair under her front door every night to keep potential burglars out.
Now, Cahue's killing has her even more worried.
"I'm afraid," Rodriguez said. "How can people be like that? I don't understand."

What has sometimes struck me as odd is that the method of death administered is to be as humane as possible, with lethal injection the preferred method. But why? I'm not a sadistic person but many times the victims of murderer's didnt die humanely, so shouldnt the murderer receive a similar fate. I say "Get a rope".
