The Story of James Edward Pough

James Edward Pough’s life was falling apart at the seams. His new 1988 Pontiac Grand Am got repossessed less than 15 months later. His mother also died this year as well, causing him to spiral further into depression. He would often say that he had nothing to live for, and that he “would take someone with him when he leaves this world”. He was subject to frequent violent outbursts, often aimed at his wife, Theresa. He had even put a gun to her head on multiple occasions. On March 2, 1990, Theresa was granted an injunction that banned James from contacting her for a year. Now without a wife, James was at his breaking point and now he was ready for revenge.
