Couple arrested in Florida dismemberment tied to South Carolina triple homicide

FOX: A drifter couple behind bars for murder in Florida have been charged with killing three people in a home in South Carolina, authorities said Saturday.

Christopher Taylor, 31, and Kristina Sluss, 36, face three counts of murder in the Jan. 19 deaths of Fred Richards, 59, Francis Richards, 59, and Nathan Poffenberger, 23, in Landrum. Investigators said the victims had been hacked to death with a hatchet.

Arrest warrants state Taylor and Sluss took money and drugs from one of the victims, Fox Carolina reported.

Taylor and Sluss have been in custody in Florida since their arrest in the Feb. 19 beating death of Douglas Bowling, a homeless man, in Polk County. Taylor’s brother was also arrested in the Bowling murder, Fox 13 Tampa reported.

Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd said Saturday at a news conference that he believes Taylor may have killed others.  more here

  1. Psychopathic losers. You don’t suppose drugs are involved, do you?

    Side observation: Getting your face tattooed relieves civilized society from the having to decide to make you an outcast. You’ve decided that unilaterally, and I suppose some weak thanks are in order for simplifying things for us.

  2. RICKEY

    You are clearly to young to remember the John Birch society billboards here in Cal from ’48 to about ’79. What the Birchers had on their billboards was’ -“The family that PRAYS together, stays together!”!

    Young’un you almost got it!

  3. I’m way late to the party on this one, but shake my head at the realization there is an indigent defense attorney out there somewhere who will do his best to structure some kind of defense for them in court. God bless our Republic, but some people just need to be walked into a concrete room with a drain in the floor and shot in the back of the head.
