A chance encounter with a former Marine obsessed with delusions of child sex trafficking ultimately led to the massacre of four members of a Lakeland family, including a mother holding her baby boy, Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd said.

Sheriff Judd said Bryan Riley confessed to murdering the family and told detectives he tortured the 11-year-old girl before counting down from three and shooting her multiple times, believing he had killed her as well.

Lots of murders per capita in Polk County. I'll bet not near as many as in Chicago.
