My sister's best friend and her family were our neighbors for about 10 years. A few years ago the dad got into drugs and the family divorced, but he remarried. About a year and a half later he killed his second wife (on accident he says) by blunt force trauma. He's now in jail for a very long time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-ever-know-anyone-who-turned-out-to-be-some-sort-of-criminal#post-762733 Mon, 06 May 2013 08:23:09 +0000 ladyfingers 762733@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@red_seattle: Holy... wow. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-ever-know-anyone-who-turned-out-to-be-some-sort-of-criminal#post-762732 Mon, 06 May 2013 08:21:33 +0000 ladyfingers 762732@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow! Scary.</p> <p>I've known several people who had DUIs, if that counts. It is a criminal offense, so I'm counting it.</p> <p>And I knew somebody who was also charged/imprisoned for child pornography. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-ever-know-anyone-who-turned-out-to-be-some-sort-of-criminal#post-762532 Mon, 06 May 2013 05:38:12 +0000 mrbee 762532@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Sapphiresun: Great point!

We weren't super close, but we went to a sleepover once and she'd hang out at a friend's house sometimes! She was such a sweet girl back then! </p> <p>Something I definitely don't want to brag about is a cousin that was arrested for impersonating a police officer and performing lewd acts on a minor. What we don't get is he had a beautiful girlfriend, she was a model! They were both in their early 20's! She stuck by him (she didnt believe it) until the evidence piled up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-ever-know-anyone-who-turned-out-to-be-some-sort-of-criminal#post-762480 Mon, 06 May 2013 01:54:59 +0000 SweetMamaM 762480@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The girl I sat next to in ninth grade business studies is currently in jail for a murder she was part of in 2001... It was a huge shock to see how far off the rails she went in a year! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-ever-know-anyone-who-turned-out-to-be-some-sort-of-criminal#post-762442 Sun, 05 May 2013 23:37:26 +0000 Sapphiresun 762442@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: Haha, I DEMANDED two weeks of my life back. But no such luck :P And now I work in a child abuse/sex offense unit, so my message to parents is to always trust your kids instincts. Or at least give them the benefit of the doubt. Sometimes you just get a sixth sense that something isn't right and can't fully explain it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-ever-know-anyone-who-turned-out-to-be-some-sort-of-criminal#post-762430 Sun, 05 May 2013 23:18:17 +0000 autumnlove 762430@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, but I know some victims of some horrible crimes. :-( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-ever-know-anyone-who-turned-out-to-be-some-sort-of-criminal#post-762429 Sun, 05 May 2013 23:14:50 +0000 red_seattle 762429@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I was a junior in high school, the senior class president raped and killed an alum home from college during winter break. My dad taught this guy, he was the class clown, everyone knew him. The girl's body was dumped in a field behind the church most families (including mine) went to. Other evidence was left in the church dumpsters. The whole town was shocked by the whole thing. I think everyone was even more stunned when they arrested the guy just before graduation. No one suspected him; not for a long time at least. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-ever-know-anyone-who-turned-out-to-be-some-sort-of-criminal#post-762426 Sun, 05 May 2013 23:02:18 +0000 sunny 762426@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Omg! I don't think I've ever known any criminals. </p> <p>I did meet someone on the plane who introduced himself as an ex-convict. He was involved in the ZZZZ Best accounting/securities fraud in the late 80s. </p> <p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZZZZ_Best" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZZZZ_Best</a></p> <p>I hadn't heard of it but my friend who is an accountant said they studied this case in school. The guy was a bit of a braggart... I don't think I'd brag about something like that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-ever-know-anyone-who-turned-out-to-be-some-sort-of-criminal#post-762417 Sun, 05 May 2013 22:46:01 +0000 mrbee 762417@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Sapphiresun: Wow!! What did your parents say when he was arrested and convicted? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-ever-know-anyone-who-turned-out-to-be-some-sort-of-criminal#post-762411 Sun, 05 May 2013 22:42:17 +0000 Sapphiresun 762411@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, my highschool band teacher. Always had a creepy feeling about him, and he was always asking girls to come back after class for tutoring. I never went and he told my mom that I wasn't accepting his help despite "struggling" in his class. I told her I didn't want to because he was a pedophile. Got grounded for two weeks because my parents were upset that I'd make serious unfounded accusations about an adult.</p> <p>Sure enough about 4 years after I graduated he was arrested for statutory rape with a few students and convicted the year later.</p> <p>And now I work in law enforcement... so meet "criminals" all the time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-ever-know-anyone-who-turned-out-to-be-some-sort-of-criminal#post-762391 Sun, 05 May 2013 22:11:41 +0000 googly-eyes 762391@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a friend who moved out of town after getting into some sort of incident where he was delivering drugs and the swat team was outside waiting for him. I didn't know what happened until they were getting a divorce though. She swears she didn't know the details but I don't believe her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-ever-know-anyone-who-turned-out-to-be-some-sort-of-criminal#post-762388 Sun, 05 May 2013 22:06:23 +0000 Reese 762388@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope.

Glad he stopped casting me in plays!</p> <p>Also, a close friend of my dad's went to prison for embezzlement when I was a kid. His family was in a rough place and he saw it as a last resort.

He was never really rich or anything, not like a drug king, but that's probably because he's not very smart and has no business sense. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-ever-know-anyone-who-turned-out-to-be-some-sort-of-criminal#post-762300 Sun, 05 May 2013 20:38:36 +0000 Bao 762300@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, more than one person unfortunately. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-ever-know-anyone-who-turned-out-to-be-some-sort-of-criminal#post-762282 Sun, 05 May 2013 20:14:25 +0000 heffalump 762282@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rubies: yeah.... And I happened to find out when I was interning at a mental hospital doing therapy with sex offenders.

I also know some people who have criminal records but have also grown up and are stand up people. Always were good people but got caught up in bad things. People make mistakes.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-ever-know-anyone-who-turned-out-to-be-some-sort-of-criminal#post-762276 Sun, 05 May 2013 20:04:06 +0000 Ra 762276@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sadly, I know a lot of criminals.

One of DHs friends brother was arrested for check fraud. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-ever-know-anyone-who-turned-out-to-be-some-sort-of-criminal#post-762260 Sun, 05 May 2013 19:44:44 +0000 Caly 762260@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@oliviaoblivia: lol, when I saw the name "Chester," "Chester the molester" was the first thing that came to mind. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-ever-know-anyone-who-turned-out-to-be-some-sort-of-criminal#post-762257 Sun, 05 May 2013 19:43:29 +0000 BananaPancakes 762257@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel like I know a lot, but I work in construction, and I think it's just part of that field. We've had kidnappers, child molesters and drug dealers work for us at various times. Manual labor tends to be a stepping stone to getting your life back together after getting out of prison. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-ever-know-anyone-who-turned-out-to-be-some-sort-of-criminal#post-762256 Sun, 05 May 2013 19:43:21 +0000 Caly 762256@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My niece (SIL's daughter) is currently in prison for as what our family calls "cutting a b*tch." Long story short, she got into a fight with the girl who her gem of a boyfriend had slept with. She whipped out a knife, then pushed her through a plate glass window. Was all caught on surveillance video. She's a winner, all right. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-ever-know-anyone-who-turned-out-to-be-some-sort-of-criminal#post-762243 Sun, 05 May 2013 19:35:26 +0000 oliviaoblivia 762243@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH's high school girl friend was arrested in part of a drug trafficking sting. The cops found $30M in coke, diamonds, ferraris.<br /> My elementary school science teacher is in jail for sexual assault of a minor. His name is Chester. Chester the molester. We thought we were funny, but really we were just accurate. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-ever-know-anyone-who-turned-out-to-be-some-sort-of-criminal#post-762239 Sun, 05 May 2013 19:33:02 +0000 Arden 762239@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Gosh yeah, a frighteningly large amount. I meet an awful lot of people in my line of work so I guess that's why. Child molesters, a couple of wife beaters, one for grand larceny, two for embezzlement, insurance fraud... I think that's all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-ever-know-anyone-who-turned-out-to-be-some-sort-of-criminal#post-762238 Sun, 05 May 2013 19:32:45 +0000 yoursilverlining 762238@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, unfortunately. The worst is the husband of one of my mom's best friends, who was a real mentor to me and in high school I nannied her children each summer for a few years. He killed his wife and mother in front if their children. I, and my mom, still miss C so so so much. :( </p>
