Reminds me of what prosecuters called, the “Thrill Killings” of two pizza delivery guys, young guys, back in 1997 in Hardyston (Sussex County), NJ. Giorgio, 25, was the owner of the pizza place and Jeremy, 22, was an employee, both were hard working wonderful young men. Jeremy had 4 or 5 jobs, a great kid, he lived right across the street from the pizza place. I lived in an apartment complex behind where the pizza place was, in a strip mall. My son was 14 at the time and friends with both guys. He’d ride his bike up to the pizza place and Giorgio and Jeremy would kabitz with him. He was devastated that they were both murdered by two useless pieces of sh*t. The one said he did it for the thrill of it, hence the media title for the killings. The younger killer even knew the one victim, Jeremy.
Also, about a month after the killings, Whorealdo had the still in shock parents of Giorgio, the owner, on his afternoon show. He kept at them with the usual stupid questions of ‘how does it feel’ that your son was murdered. The poor mother couldn’t take it and walked off the show in tears. I’ve despised Whorealdo ever since and they never should have agreed to go on his show.
To this very day, Georgio’s parents, Angelo and Connie are running the pizza place for their son. Can’t believe it has been 25 years, I remember it all like yesterday.

I corrected once in my post about the thrill killing title being created by the prosecutor, not the media. Forgot to correct it at the end of the same paragraph.
That must have been the inspiration behind a Law and Order episode around that time.
