Unfortunately, Suffern is not in the news for it's wonderful quality of life, the beautiful mountains nearby or the fact that it's my first home town. Rather, there was a rather gruesome murder in a swanky part of the village that has shocked people throughout Rockland County. The story seems almost commonplace. Madly in love. Man kills wife.
Man commits suicide.
Every time I read about these stories I'm struck by how little we really know one another. People like the man involved in this murder don't just snap one day and decide to commit a horrible deed. For months or years he has been wrestling, fighting with horrendous dark powers. On Saturday, the fight was over. It seems I am on the wrong side of the law.
