These murders rocked the city of Richmond. The brutality of them was unimaginable. Richmond was once the most dangerous city in the US - however these types of murders are very very uncommon here.
The mom of the Harvey family, Kathryn, who was murdered owned a very popular toy store here called World of Mirth. Her half brother was Steven Culp (Bree's first husband on Desp. Housewives). The father, Bryan was a very popular local musician. Their two young daughters were also killed.
During this spree killing there were several other horrible murders. Including the wife of one of the killers in PA. Two attacks in northern Virginia, one of which was fatal. And the family of one of the killers former and one of the killers current girlfriend, including the girlfriend, were found dead. It turns out that the girlfriend had helped during the Harvey murders and perhaps they killed her and her family to keep them quiet.
The killers have both been sentenced to death.
