    Would not be shocked if it was over drugs! I know there is a trailer on that road well known for that . If it is the reason I feel for the residents of that area!

    Haven’t I seen Mr. Perry’s picture on a news story recently where he was in trouble for something else?? If not, maybe he just resembles someone else I saw. Just wondering.

    curious as to the motive….doubt it was a robbery, based on the number and location of inflicted wounds/stabbings…sounds like he (mr perry) had some feelings of rage
