Even with all his "honors", it's apparent this kid didn't think about the ramifications of his actions.
Please go the source URL and read the whole story.

Interesting ...
Also noted that this stellar 18-year old had a 14-year old girlfriend.
Can you say "statutory rape"?
I knew you could.

Not surprising... he was treated like a God in this little town.

I was told by a famous criminalogist that if I ever awakened in the middle of the night with a prowler in my home, I'd better PRAY it's an adult and not a teen.
He said law enforcement is seeing a staggering amount of teens murdering "just because they want to see what it's like to see someone die."

Apparently a massive ego on this kid. And you'd think being an Eagle Scout he might have been church-going at some point in his life? (In small towns, the Scout groups usually meet at churches.) Which part of "Thou shall not Kill" did this kid miss in his education?

Then again, if he was willing to commit murder, fornication probably isn't too big a deal to him.

I tried digging around the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel's website for this story, which came out on the AP wire service. So far, all I see is the notice posted in 2002 when Hirte became an Eagle Scout. I've already sent a e-mail to them asking about when this story will appear in their newspaper.

IF this is true and he is found guilty of the murder, it would be somewhat reminiscent of the Leopold-Loeb murders, where two geniuses from wealthy local families who were students at the Univ. of Chicago decided to murder Bobby Franks to see if they could commit the perfect crime. No such thing.

"Finally, five months after the slaying, a girl he once dated went to police because she feared he would commit suicide out of remorse."
Ever read Crime and PUnishment anyone?

...the perfect crime. No such thing.There could be, but of course we would never hear about them...

Similar to the movie, Murder by Numbers.
