Grief, Suspicion and Murder - June 19 2025

July 12th: Christian Dornier Kills (1989) Some stew in their problems long enough to become a ticking time bomb. On July 12th 1989 a man began a rampage who, from an outsider’s perspective, showed red flags for a number of years. A man who absolutely needed help but, instead, was allowed to fester in his misery until it became far too much to bear.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_Dornier, https://murderpedia.org/male.D/d/dornier-christian.htm, https://historycollection.com/12-small-towns-devastated-random-killing-sprees-shocked-world/2/, https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1989-07-13-mn-4502-story.html Learn more about your ad choices.
