The Zankou Chicken Murder. I understand from the woman sitting next to me at a fund raiser this afternoon that the murder was all about money. Seems the "killer" had brain cancer and knew he was dieing and wanted to leave money to his sons.   His mother (who was "generally unpleasent") wanted the money for herself....and that's what happened. posted by MichaelMay 5, 2007 at 18:39 [ e ]

You have no clue what you are talking about!  He was terminally ill and had been acting crazy , due to the brain cancer, for a period of time. posted by JackofalltradesAugust 6, 2007 at 12:24 [ e ]
