I guess sometimes we just never know who to trust. Looks like they've arrested the cousin of Michael Hargon in connection with the murder of his wife and four-year-old son. (The family that has been missing from Yazoo City, MS) They arrested Ernest Hargon on drug charges Friday. Police are saying that the slayings occurred during the kidnapping of one or more of Michael Hargon's family. They are checking a piece of land that Michael Hargon inherited from his uncle to see if it is linked to the crime. One thing I think is strange, is that 10 years ago, Michael Hargon's dad was murdered on the same property when it was a convenience store. The men who did that are serving prison sentences for that crime. Strange, strange... Well, it will be interesting to see how this story unfolds. As of right now, they haven't found the bodies, but are looking for them and probably will find them very soon. What a sad case... not only did he murder the mom and dad, but how he could take the life of his innocent 4-year-old cousin is beyond me. =(

Gosh what a sad tale. It is very strange that murders within the same family all around the same property? I agree how can someone be so evil to take any life but the life of a child? You mentioned drug charges - I'll bet he will use that as a defence as to why he did this. Or maybe it will be the devil made me do it. A sick man none the less that needs to be locked away from society.

Let us know how this unfolds.

Yeah, I saw the report on this last night, odd...I have wondered if certain places can make peoples grip on thier sanity or reality slip...

Here is an update..they did end up finding the bodies. It is a shame and a terrible thing what happened to them.
