This happened only about 30/35 miles from my house. what is wrong with these people. if they want to kill themselves. why, don't they just do it. and not take other people with them. now you have children left behind with out a mon or dad. there are three that I know of. and to top it off. after the man killed these people. he told his brother about it. and his brother gave him some money to leave the city with. and he was headed to alabama to kill again. and than where ever!!
I personally think his brother is as guilty as he was. and should stand trial for murder. It, just goes to show. there are some real phycos out there. and they might be in your own city. seems like there is no place safe on the earth anymore. this is only my opinion and in noway am I passing judgement on anyone.
This was copied from this website of a local tv station. and I in now way take credit for it or the use of there data.

New information on a killing spree that left four people dead.
Jacksonville Fl. police believe they're closer to understanding what made 37 year old .Tracy Moss snap.
Moss is accused of killing his wife, ex-girlfriend .. and his boss before taking his own life.
Now they say a combination of financial and marital problems most likely pushed him over the edge.
Before taking his own life on I-295, police found the bodies of his ex-girlfriend and wife. They believe both died of suffocation.
Moss had children with both women who had reportedly been fighting.
In 1998 Moss' wife filed a restraining order against the ex-girlfriend.
Just last year the ex-girlfriend filed a paternity suit against Moss, forcing him to pay more than five-thousand dollars in back child support and more than 300 dollars a month to support their child.
Jacksonville police say the financial burden led Tracy Moss to his employer, at a manufacturing shop on the Southside to ask for a raise.
After his boss said no, police say Moss shot him to death, then took off.
They believe he was heading to Alabama in search of a fourth victim.
Before he could leave town, an undercover officer spotted him and followed him to I-295 near Pritchard Road. That is where Moss put a gun to his head and killed himself.

GENE:I know in my marriage there have been low moments, really low, but it just goes goes to prove some people can handle it and some can't. No matter what has happened to me in my life and there have been some earthshattering senarios, enough maybe to "set off" someone else, being brought up in an enviornment of intense inputs, I had to adjust quickly to sudden and drastic changes
in my every day existence. Other folks can't cope. In this guy's case, he seemed to be caught in a never ending circle and just
in self defense( in his own mind) struck out
All you can do is try avoid these people if you can. Like I've said...You never know what's aroung the next corner!!!

I truely understand what you are saying. I don't have a problem with the man shooting himself. I just think that his brother is as guilty as him. and I feel for the children. he is relieved from his burdens. but, the kids will have to carry the no parent thing to there grave. and they will never know why? I would have even given him a bullet to do it with. if he was that weak. I just think thet they should do themselves and not others.

Are they going to charge his brother with anything? If he knew beforhand that is conspiacy if he knew after that is harboring a fugitive.Sounds like they have a case to me.

It's kinda scary when that kind of stuff happens close to your residence. 2 years ago my neighbor shot herself in the head (with a .357!) in my other neighbor's driveway. (my house in the middle) I even heard the shot http://www.sysopt.com/forum/frown.gif Something crazy happened to me in November. My (now ex) roommate told me at 4AM that he was going to kill someone and left with a shotgun. After not believing what I had heard, I called the cops and he was arrested before he could do any harm. He was on his way to where he was going when the fuzz got him. Loaded shotgun in car. I thank God that I was able to intervene. (I have not spoken to him since, and will never speak to him again.) The way some people deal with their feelings is very troubling to me.
