For people like this that kill kids and then themselves, I hope they rot a special place in hell. That is God’s call of course, but that is a special kind of evil that deserves it’s special kind of treatment.

Just like his dad, P.S. was divorced. The article gives no clues as to why, but I suspect that this had something to do with it.

Whatever one may think of Peter Ruckman, Sr…this is a horrible tragedy. My prayers go out to Prof. Ruckman Jr.’s surviving relatives, especially his former wife, Heidi.

It is my understanding that PR Jr. had been estranged from his father for years.
