What sad news for S. Iowa. The meth disease continues to gather victims.
I didn't know much about meth....that is until I recently moved to Bullhead City, AZ, the meth capitol of the US. I'm shocked by the amount of crime in the small town, and frankly, the looks of the people who walk the streets. I lived in NYC for a long time and it's a different kind of street person. BHC is really trying to address the issue with an anti-meth campaign. I hope it works. It's such a terrible addiction that ruins lives so quickly.
From what I can glean from all the news articles, Shawn Bentler was picked up at a traffic stop where his warrant was pulled and the drug paraphenelia was found in the car.
That would mean he was likely speeding as why he was first pulled over, possibly trying to get home quick if he did this. I wonder exactly when he was pulled over and if that matched the time of the shootings.
There aren't many cops out at that time, in reality the best time to pull something like that and get away unnoticed back to home base would be that time of the morning. This could have been more calculated than at first glance.
It also may be because he was dealing and the family got killed because he owed someone some money, but that seems pretty unlikely.
