Oh comic book stores. Will you ever be able to shake your vaguely seedy reputation?
This probably doesn’t help.
Macomb County authorities are expected to announce today an arrest in the 17-year-old slaying of a Macomb Township woman who was killed “execution style” in the comic book store she co-owned with her husband.
Barbara Marie George was planning a surprise birthday party for her husband when she was killed in July 1990 in the former Comics World store in Venice Square Mall on Garfield Road in Clinton Township.
Her husband, Michael Ralph George, was arrested Saturday in Windber, Pa., according to documents obtained by The Macomb Daily.
Planning a surprise birthday party?!? Sheezus.
Spread the word!

Worst Murder Ever!

My questions are: 1)How did he get away for so long since the first person the polie look at is the husband; and 2)What data did they get that made the judge sign off on the arrest warrant? The guy didn’t do himself any favors by running to another state almost right after the murder. Really, it’s a very interesting case and I’m sure that it will make its way onto CourtTV within a year’s time after the verdict.

Oh yeah, and the guy arrested is the one who founded and ran the Pittsburgh Comicon with his second wife. Here’s more ammunition for any girl who does not want to date a comic book geek. Nice.

Man, the exact same things crossed my mind. I could be a pain in the ass and say “three cheers for America’s modern journalist standards,” but maybe the info is under wraps for legal reasons?
