I remember these murders, Do you remember? I suppose it is the time of year which made me think of this awful crime. I know Schnick was convicted and sentenced to death but after searching on the net I found that he is alive and well in prison in Jefferson city mo.... The sole survivor of a shooting rampage that killed seven relatives was charged today with murder in the slayings, which had been blamed on a 14-year-old family member who was among the victims.
James E. Schnick, 36, of rural Elkland, Mo., was charged with murder in the Sept. 25 killings of his wife, her brother and the brother's wife and four children.
Webster County officials had said immediately after the deaths that Schnick's nephew Kirk Buckner had gone on a shooting rampage, killing his parents, three brothers and an aunt, before dying in a struggle with Schnick.
