| 23. Have you ever heard of John Joubert? Well, let me tell you about him. |
|
He kidnapped, tortured, and killed a couple young boys in the Omaha area. As the search went on for this killer, parents in this area were absolutely terrified. I know I sure was; my son was young at that time, and in the murderer comfort/terror zone.
I happened to be dating a guy at the time who had access to the autopsy reports of both murdered children. What he told me about what this monster did to torture and sexually mutilate these boys was chilling and horrifying. And so unconscionable and unimaginable that I've never been able to repeat it to this day.
Joubert finally snapped for more and tried to take a kid out of a daycare setting in broad daylight. That's how he got caught. He was tried and sentenced to death. It also came to light that he had murdered a child in his hometown in Maine as well.
Once his execution date came up, he was all the news again, insisting that he'd had some kind or revelation and would never, ever, do such a thing again. Courts didn't buy it, and he was eventually put to death.
