I was in 6th grade when he killed those women and the little girl. It shocked our community. Kids I went to school with knew the victims, went to church with Mrs. Sellers. We all went to that beauty college to get cheap hair cuts. I'm glad to know he is finally gone from this world.

He was a wreched human and in later life refused to share his motive, although I have a theory.

As you quoted, and the stories reported at the time, (and I remember it well), his only motive was that he wanted to make a name for himself. The details I never knew until I read your post was how he randomly chose his target. Sick and pure evil.

I've wondered about this guy from time to time. What did his parents and sister do in their lives ? How did you get to know Robert ? He must have been one of the longest serving prisoners in Arizona.

Why have you wondered about him? He was happy to be forgotten and that's probably how it should be left...
