The homicides in Iowa City today were the doings of an embezzling banker under indictment.  This guy killed his whole family and was found dead (probably, so they say) in a burning van.  So, after I read the actual news story I had to Google Earth this guy's house.  The ambulance and black police jeep were still at the house, just like in the news story picture.  This happened way out on the East edge of town.  The most interesting thing about this incident is that they're calling it a "shooting" but nobody heard gun shots.  The stories say found "dead" as opposed to "shot."  So naturally, I started thinking, "If this guy didn't shoot anyone, how did he kill his wife and all four kids?"  There are some pretty creative ways to silently kill five people, mind you.  I've gone over it in my head at work in the dish room of the Burge Marketplace, which, I find, is an ideal place to dispose of a body.
