It was there, too, that in 1993 armed sheriff's deputies hauled the boys, screaming and kicking, into a county van to take them to supervised visits with their father. And finally, in late February, it was in an upstairs bedroom of the house that Nathan's life ended. That's one thing he did talk about. Nathan was a vo-tech student who only spent a half day in school, so that kept him out of the loop, too. Nathan was different than most kids.
People are judgmental about looks.
Certainly, of the three boys, Nathan's relationship with his father was the most complicated. As the oldest, he was the only one who could really remember when Louis Grieco had lived at home. In court documents, psychologists described him as wanting a relationship with his father, but being fearful of him, too, scared of Grieco's temper. Slight of build, possessed of little athletic coordination, he felt unable to please a father who set great stock in such skills, his brothers say. He pushed Nathan harder than any of us.
