On Sunday morning last week somebody murdered Brian Crossman Sr., 46, Erica Crossman, 41, and Colin Taft, 13.  Brian Crossman Jr., 23, is now in custody on suspicion of murdering his father, step-mother and step-brother.

The younger Crossman is currently in a mental hospital in New York where he lives and is likely to be extradited to Vermont on three counts of aggravated murder.

Crossman himself reported the bodies to the cops at about 0400 on Sunday.  He stated that he discovered the bodies after returning home from a walk.  The murders appear to have been committed with two shotguns belonging to Crossman Sr.  

Crossman Jr. has reported to have an extensive history of mental health issues.
