Levi Axtell, a dad from Minnesota, killed his elderly neighbor, Lawrence V. Scully, after he started suspecting that he was surveilling his almost 2-year-old daughter and the other children in the neighborhood. After he confessed to the murder, evidence began emerging suggesting that he might have actually imagined the entire surveillance.
Scully, 77, was convicted in 1979 for sexually assaulting a 6-year-old child. With people convicted of such harrowing crimes, there is always a risk of re-offending. And it’s not just Jeffrey Epstein. There was also another story of an Arkansas dad who woke up in the middle of the night to find his daughter no longer in bed, only to discover she had been kidnapped by a neighborhood sexual-assault ex-con. He also killed the man, and even though he’s facing charges, he has huge public support and is even running for sheriff to interpret the laws in ways he believes best protect children.
