Kentucky Tragedy: Man Kills Wife, Five Others, in Rampage Over Cold Eggs, Say Cops

By Naimah Jabali-Nash - CBS News

September 13, 2010

JACKSON, Ky. (CBS/AP) Authorities say a man known for his hot temper snapped Saturday morning over how his wife cooked his eggs, killing her and four others with a shotgun before shooting himself.

Neighbors in the Breathitt County mobile home community, nearly 90 miles southeast of Lexington, Ky., say 47-year-old Stanley Neace stormed across seven lawns in his pajamas and fired dozens of shots from a 12-guage, pump action shotgun around 11:30 a.m.

Trooper Jody Sims of the Kentucky State Police said Neace killed the five people in two mobile homes, then went to his own home and shot himself. The victims were identified as the gunman's wife, 54-year-old Sandra Neace, her 28-year-old daughter Sandra R. Strong, and neighbors Dennis Turner, 31, Teresea Fugate, 30, and 40-year-old Tammy Kilborn.

Sherri Anne Robinson, a relative of Turner and Fugate, said witnesses to the shootings told her that the shooting rampage occurred after Neace became irate when he was displeased with how his wife cooked his eggs.

"Over eggs?" Robinson said. "I thought that was crazy. Really. I mean just because his eggs weren't hot?"

Kentucky State Police spokesman Tony Watts said they are still trying to determine what exactly happened during the rampage.

Robinson told officials that Fugate, her sister, was shot in front of her 7-year-old daughter.

"Her daughter said, 'Please, please don't shoot me,' and he said, 'All right, you can leave,' and she ran out," said Robinson, who spoke to her niece after the shootings. "She went and told her neighbors, and the neighbors called the law."

Neace's hostile temper was apparently escalating over the past few months, so much so that it forced his landlord to start eviction proceedings.

"He was unpredictable," said landlord Ray Rastegar. "Little things would set him off."

The bodies of Neace and his five victims were sent to the state medical examiner's office in Frankfort for autopsies.

 
 

Man behind mass murder had criminal record

It's a shocking crime. Six people, including the gunman, died over the weekend after a shooting spree in an eastern Kentucky trailer park.

It happened in the Mount Carmel community of Breathitt County.

As police continue to look for a motive, 27 NEWSFIRST has learned more about the shooter's past.

We checked with the Breathitt County Circuit Clerk's office, who told us the shooter, 47-year-old Stanley Neace, was arrested in January, 1993 and charged with two counts of sodomy involving a child. Those were felony charges.

In 1998, court officials say Neace pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of third degree sexual abuse.

He was placed on two years of probation, and his rights were restored in June, 2002.

Police say Neace killed five people in the trailer park Saturday, before turning the gun on himself.

Investigators say Neace followed his wife, Sandra, into a nearby trailer, where he killed her, along with her daughter, Sandra Rachel Strong, and Strong's boyfriend, Dennis Turner.

Neighbors Teresa Fugate and Tammy Kilborn were also killed in the trailer park, before Neace killed himself.

There are reports Neace went on the shooting spree because he was upset over how his wife had cooked his eggs. However, police have not confirmed that.

"I don't understand what could make somebody do something so horrible and take so many lives," Shane Kidd, who lost two relatives in the shootings, said.

Family members of Sandra Neace, Stanley Neace's wife, say there may have been warning signs before the shootings.

"I think he (Stanley Neace) was really jealous," Dean Cockerham, who also lost relatives in the shootings, said. "He would give her (Sandra Neace) dirty looks and say something smart to her."

Family members say they wished they had paid more attention to a conversation they had with Sandra Neace years ago. They say she told them Stanley Neace threatened to kill her if she ever left him.

Funeral services for Sandra Strong will be Tuesday afternoon at 1 at Watts Funeral Home. Arrangements for the other victims are still in the works.

We're also learned a memorial fund has been set up for the children of Rachel Strong at First National Bank in Jackson.

 
 

Man shot five because of way wife cooked his eggs

Kentucky man Stanley Neace killed wife, stepdaughter and three neighbours before shooting himself

September 12, 2010

For months, Stanley Neace had shown increasing hostility to his neighbours in rural eastern Kentucky, to the point where his landlord started eviction proceedings. Then he snapped over the way his wife had cooked his eggs, and killed her and four others with a shotgun before shooting himself.

Neighbours in the roadside mobile home park said Neace had stormed across several lawns in his pyjamas on Saturday and fired dozens of shots from a 12-gauge pump shotgun. When the rampage ended, Neace and his wife lay dead, along with the gunman's stepdaughter and three neighbours.

Trooper Jody Sims of the Kentucky State Police said Neace, 47, killed the five people in two mobile homes, then went to his home and turned the gun on himself. Investigators were still working today to piece together what had happened, Breathitt County's sheriff, Ray Clemons, said.

The state medical examiner's office in Frankfort was expected to carry out autopsies on all six who died.

Steve Smith, a neighbour, saw the shootings from the window of his mobile home. When he walked outside, Smith said Neace took a shot at him but missed.

"He chased his wife around that Jeep, shooting at her," Smith said. "I heard her screaming and running."

Sims said that when state police arrived about an hour after the gunfire began, they heard a single gunshot and found Neace's body on the porch in the unincorporated community of Mount Carmel in Breathitt County, which is home to about 16,000 people.

Sherri Anne Robinson, a relative of two of the victims, said witnesses to the shootings told her that Neace had become enraged when his wife did not cook his breakfast to his liking.

"She tried to run to tell my family and he shot them too because they found out about it," she said.

The victims were identified as the gunman's wife, Sandra Neace, 54; her daughter, Sandra R Strong, 28; and neighbours Dennis Turner, 31, Teresa Fugate, 30, and Tammy Kilborn, 40.

The names of the victims were provided by the Kentucky State police, while Robinson described their relationships. Fugate is Robinson's sister, Turner is her cousin and Kilborn was a witness who happened to step on to the porch of another mobile home when she heard the commotion.

Robinson said Fugate was shot in front of her seven-year-old daughter.

"Her daughter said, 'Please, please don't shoot me,' and he said, 'All right, you can leave,' and she ran out," said Robinson, who spoke to her niece after the shootings. "She went and told her neighbours, and the neighbours called the law."

Robinson said Neace had never appeared threatening to her, but that he was known to have a violent history. Sims could not confirm that Neace had a criminal record.The county prosecutor, Brendon Miller, said his dealings with Neace had been on nonviolent issues involving child support, and he had been in Miller's office a month ago regarding a traffic ticket.

Sims said that, when police arrived at the mobile home park, about 90 miles southeast of Lexington, they heard a single gunshot, then found Neace's body on his porch. They found victims in two other mobile homes.

"Over eggs?" Robinson said. "I thought that was crazy. Really. I mean just because his eggs weren't hot?"

Landlord Ray Rastegar said Neace received monthly disability checks from the Social Security Administration, though he didn't know what his disability was. Rastegar said he had begun the process of evicting Neace, who had lived in the trailer park for about seven years, because he had become more hostile towards neighbours in recent months.

"He was unpredictable," Rastegar said. "Little things would set him off."

Robert Collins, a neighbour, 50, said it wasn't the first time he had heard gunshots in the area. Neace often walked down to a nearby river to take practice shots, he said.

Smith said Neace ended up mumbling to himself on the porch of his trailer, pointed the shotgun at his head and pulled the trigger.

"He's been trouble ever since he's been here," Smith said. "He's always been trouble."
