Officials have released the names of the two western Minnesota teens who died this week in what appears to be a murder-suicide.

On Monday, Dylan Taylor Cox, 17, shot his 16-year-old girlfriend, Tabitha Lee Belmonte multiple times, then turned the gun on himself. Belmonte died immediately. Cox was taken to Sanford Hospital in Fargo. He was taken off life support yesterday.

The teens were parents to a 7-month-old little girl, and lived with Cox's parents, Cathy and Darrin Cox, according to the Otter Tail County Sheriff's Office. Cox was a student at Perham High School, in Perham, where Belmonte was also a former student, the Fergus Falls Journal reports.

The killings took place in a bedroom at Cox's parents' house, at 30811 Twin Lake Road, near Amor, Minnesota.

Cox's Facebook page, facebook.com/suicidesystem, says he is inspired by Charles Manson and Anton LaVey, founder of the Church of Satan:

To EVERY SINGLE PERSON WRITING COMMENTS ON HERE: Not a single one of you (friends with dylan and tabby or not) HAVE NO IDEA HOW HE FELT HOW SHE FELT WHAT WAS GOING ON - NOTHING. So while you sit here and judge and argue like idiots, remember that someones Children, brother, sister and parents are gone. So just shut up. Its nobody place to judge.

I was a friend of Dylan's. Him and I became close when he first started attending Battle Lake again. I didn't know Tabby personally, but i do feel for those who did. What he did was wrong, but he was such a nice guy. A pot smoking satin freak? Why judge someone by their religion? So ignorant. I've missed him every day since he's been gone. Emma is with wonderful people. And Dyl and Tabby will always be watching her.

I hope the children posting on here are not representative of the best Perham High School has to offer.  Their stunning lack of basic grammar and spelling is dumbfounding, not to mention their inability to reason and/or argue a point.  I mean there is the real tragedy.  Yikes!

PHS Student Who Knew Them

One year... It's been almost one year... I miss the heck out of my friends. I go to PHS, I played Halo with Dylan, and I was in a sport with Tabby. I had talked pretty deeply with both of them in the past, and it was the hardest thing of my entire life to go through that. I wanted to hang out with Dylan a few weeks back... I wanted to stay up all night playing video games and eating beef jerky. I wanted to be able to just chill with one of the coolest people that God has ever blessed the earth with. And to think that he felt so trapped that he needed to do what he did, and there was nothing else he could do about it... I went to both their funerals, and both their visitations... I saw my friends lying in a casket, and I wept. I bawled my friggin' eyes out. But you know what? I also saw Emma not too long ago, and she was just a BEAUTIFUL little girl. The look of both her parents is so prevalent, and so stupendously there... I want to see this little girl grow up and know her parents were loved, not hated. That her father was funny and loving and one of the most interesting guys to talk to, one that would give another guy a hug on an off day regardless of what was going down. Good ole bro-hugs... I want Emma Lee Cox to know that her mother was the person that when she entered a room, the entire room would smile back at her. She was the kind of person whom you could count on....I have read a couple of the messages sent here on this forum. I am sad to see so many hateful people. The dude wasn't a psycho. The things he had on his XBox account were just for the look... I honestly believe he was just in that stage of his life, and had gone through so much stress, and had reached his limit... It is sad and agonizing and downright hard to think about what happened. But these two people need to be remembered for two things... One; that they were always loved by so many people. That there were people who could say they didn't like one or the other. That there was something about them that wasn't ok. Even though those people are wrong (everybody has their opinions, you people are probably going to rip my head off for this post.)Two, the most important one...They gave us Emma. THEY GAVE US EMMA.I am in love with that little girl. I love that little girl, because I loved her parents. She deserves an amazing life, because when she get's old enough to understand the significance behind what happened, she is going to know how amazing her parents were, and that we miss, love, and cherish them. I am going to remember Dylan & Tabby for the rest of my life. Not out of spite, not out of anger, not out of aggression, but out of pure and unadulterated joy.Not a single person in this world can convince me that Dylan was a bad person. I have had enough headset-chats (xbox) to know he was an amazing person!I am going to go visit his gravesite today. I am going to visit Tabby's tomorrow.And the next day I hope to get to the Angel of Hope stones to just relax with my friends again.

My name is brandon kasowski i am a student at perham high school and tabatha was my best friend so any of you "people" who want to throw in there two sense dont even fucking bother you no nothing of there lives or the people they were so who the fuck are you to judge anyone in your position?

Excuse me, I have been supporting Tabitha and her family since I arrived here.  I might not know everything but I know enough.  So, if you are her best friend maybe you should read all the posts before throwing in your 2 cents.

I understand there are a lot of posts but if you would read them you would find out there is more support for Tabitha and her family than you think.

you say you've talked with tabbys family and you know more about this than me? really well if that were true than maybe you would know that tabbys mom beat the shit out of her almost everyday of her life and she is a junky who tryed to get the baby after tabbys death to steal the money that was put away for emma also me saying i would like to visit your kids isnt terroristic threat because there is no threat in that entire comment the reason i went straight to insults is becaue you accused me of supporting dylan and that got me pissed so i told you off also like i said you even replying to my comment proved my point soooooo have a nive life :)

another mom
another mom

What point is it that you think you proved? You telling me if I post to you than I prove your point.  IOW, if you tell not to post anymore and I do, than you prove what?  That I don't take orders from a supposed 17 year old kid that threatens me.   That really proved WHAT?

I want to teach you a new word.  DEFAMATION.  Ever heard of it?  You can't defame the dead, so talk all the trash you want to about them BUT as far as I know Tabitha's mom is alive and the accusations you typed about her is defamation.   As far as defamation goes the things you said about me is defamation.  That means that you can be sued in a civil court for lots and lots of money.  I know you are only 17, Mr. Brandon Kasowski, but I think you are posting this from a computer that your mom and dad bought and therefore, they may be a party to this, even if they didn't buy the computer they are responsible for your actions. Time to talk to your parents.

It seems you would need proof about the supposed beating almost daily of Tabitha, proof of Tabitha's mom being a junky and proof she is trying to steal little Emma's money.  I MEAN EVIDENCE, not just hearsay. Evidence, such as these posts.  You see what you just did was type your way into a real mess.  Forget that you called me a fu(king idiot, fatass and crack whore.  I can disprove this and my life isn't and won't be affected BUT what you said about Tabitha's family would cause a lot of damage.  Damage that must be paid. 

Btw, there is no way that Tabitha's mom could get at the money that has been put away for Emma.  A judge could order the account sealed and the only way anyone could get any money from it would be from a court order. 

You were the one that brought up dylan first in your post to me.  I said nothing about him in my first post to you.  My first post told you to read and to not just assume everyone was against Tabitha but you didn't do this.  In your next post, which was aimed at me, you wrote " dylan was a good kid and loved tabby"  those are your words not mine.  All here just as it was written. It was then that I posted that you were defending dylan.  That is what is called evidence and if you think you have anonymity on the internet NOT TRUE.  The thing called an IP address will pinpoint what computer you sent your posts from, just in case you really aren't Brandon Kasowski, which means if someone used this name without permission they have liabled and defamed Brandon. 

You have a nice life, too, as soon as you can get out of this little mess of your own creation.

So you're 17, I figured you were younger but why should anyone take garbage off of someone because they think they can do whatever they want. 

That little thing about visiting my kids could be seen as a terroristic threat.  You don't understand just how much trouble you could be in.  You want to visit one of my kids,  you will find that kid in the cemetery, because of MURDER 

Btw, I have had counseling and if you had bothered to read here than you would have known that.  That is one of the reasons I came here to stand up for Tabitha and her family.  I know how isolated murder can make the victim's family feel.  I have spoken with Tabby's family and know a lot more than you probably know.

My frist post to you didn't have an insult in it.  I told you that there were people here that supported Tabitha and her family but you went right into insults.  You might be traumatized by this or you might be just another nasty rude friend of dylan's that thinks they can bully people.

Now you hate dylan but you are the one that said that dylan was a good kid and loved Tabby.  Now you're saying you didn't.  Can't get away with that one, it right here in black and white.  Reread your own comments.

I tried to tell you that people here were standing up for Tabitha but you took it as something else.  you are the terrible person, not me.

What gives me the right to say anything is that little thing called the 1st amendment.  Look it up and learn something.

I am not heartless at all.  You don't listen.  I understand that this was traumatic for you but I was on your side.  I can't understand friendship?  Not only are you stupid but you are arrogant.  Nobody else in the whole world has had a friendship or loved anyone but you.  GET OVER YOUR STUPID SELF.

@another mom Murdering Scum? Do you know what dylan was feeling or going through? Its judgemental people  like you that deserve the SCUM label.

another mom

It's 2 cents.  

dylan was good a good and he loved Tabby????  I guess you always shoot the one you love 4 times.  Let's see this love thing is sure screwed up.  He didn't marry her, he then didn't provide for her and the child, moved her into a home where he knew he was extemely unhappy to the point of suicide.  Oh yeah, nothing says love like abuse. 

I don't care how good you think dylan was, what he did erased all of the good. I know more about this than you might think.  Like I told you before read all the posts before you jump down someone's throat.

What gives me the right?  The first amendment....

Talking trash about murdering scum is what this asshole(me) does.  You don't like it than stop defending murdering scum.  BTW, if you are Tabby's best friend, why are you defending her killer?  Something isn't right here.  I know it and anyone reading this realizes it, too.  How lowdown can anyone get pretending to be Tabby's friend to give credibility to a murderer.  This makes me sick..

So who's the real asshole?  My thought is it's you and you are no saint.  Just a murderer supporter.

Noticed something else about Maryztime, internet psychiatrist.  She has made one and only one post.  It appears the Coxes are frightened of what has happened here and are doing their best(not really a good effort on their part) to discredit others that think what they are doing is WRONG...

I happen to be a hospice social worker I deal with death and grief everyday. I am sorry for your loss. I don't know the any of these families. I read the story and it happend to be linked up with this.  I wish you peace.

another mom
another mom

So what.  I happen to know and knew before the murder the head of the hospice at a major facility in this area.  As I said SO WHAT.  You are not a shrink and therefore do not have the right to diagnose someone on the internet and you certainly don't know a thing about anything, YOU ARE A SOCIAL WORKER.

This story you just happened to read and then reply to this one and the only story on this site, you happened to just pick me out of all the poster on this story.  What a coincidence.  Why is it that your story seems completely unbelievable?

I found this article because I searched the internet for it and NO I didn't know any of the families.  It was on the news and got my attention because of the things being said the first day.  I think I might know a bit more about how people make murder as a form  of discrimination against the victim and their family and friends and you just proved such discrimination. 

Saying the crap you did about me is nothing more than trying to discredit me and you know it and so does the psychiatrist I know.  Oh yes. I have shared and I will continue to show this and probably use it anyway I can to stop this BS that is out in the world.

If you are a hospice worker, why didn't you know the rage that accompanies murder and/or unexpected death?  Seems real fishy to me.  Yet you take it upon yourself to say things that our downright hateful masked with all that fake sweetness.

Btw, if you know nothing about the families or myself, how is it that you have any inkling about what we have faced or have to face?  You don't. 

If you wished me peace than you would have just STFU but instead you try to point to others things that you know nothing about.  Now you try to validate yourself with a title of authority.  You might be exactly who you say you are and you might be just a schmuck trying to screw with people on the internet.

To Big Sis, We get it:  You're hurting.  Dylan was your friend and you have many fond memories of him.  What we don't understand, is how you can defend his actions.  Yes, it's very sad when a friend commits suicide, but when a person, friend or not, kills another first, then it becomes difficult to feel sympathy for the murderer.  Seriously, why kill Tabitha?  He should have just killed himself.  You cannot make him out to be a hero, because he is now just a murderer.  In cold blood!  

And of course, people are going to blame the Cox family.  They were the guardians of Tabitha and parents of Dylan.  They should have seen the signs and done something sooner.  If things were so bad between Tabitha and Dylan, they should have contacted Tabitha's family so that other living arrangements could have been made.  Seems they just turned the other way and let the "children" argue and fight.  That is not good parenting.  And having all of those guns and ammunition around is just appalling when you consider Dylan was "always" talking about suicide.  If their kid was diabetic, would they just leave candy lying around for him to grab???

And I don't know why Tabitha's mother wasn't around and only saw Emma one time. 

Just a sad situation all around.

I do not know neither of the families, but this story breaks my heart.  I hope baby Emma gets a chance at a good life.

He's family to me & every stab at him is a stab at me & kills me a little more inside I've been criticied for being his friend, I'm hated, people don't like me cause I'm his friend, I've been called a murder , I've been blamed. Unless they're a part of your lives & your physically, emotionally & mentally damadged you don't "get it" & you can't even begin to imagine my pain -.-

I've not posted anything EVER on this forum.  Honestly, I've never been compelled enough to say something.  

But this case. Wow. 

I'm absolutely flabbergasted by a few things and maybe someone can help me out.  

Dylan is the father of the baby and the person who murdered Tabitha, the baby's mother.  How can his family have any custodial rights to the baby?  Since the Tabitha is a minor, shouldn't the child go to her family, given the circumstances by which the child was orphaned and the questionable upbringing that Dylan obviously had?  People don't just wake up and say "yep, gonna murder someone today" - there are always mitigating circumstances to these events and until Dylan's family is cleared from top to bottom with child protective services, psychiatric services and other assorted medical agencies that would have a say in it - their contact with the baby should be minimal at best.   They did, to put it bluntly, raise a murderer. 

At the very least, the infant should be with a neutral third party such as the foster system until a suitable evaluation can be made as to the suitability of where the child should live.

Tabs drew up legal documents stating if anything happened to her that the Cox's got lil baby Emma seeing as her own parents abondonder her whan she was pregenant & didn't talk to her & only saw Emma once when she was born for 20 mins. The Cox's have done everything for Tabs & Emma. Darrin Coxhad Tabs on his insurance they helped with the baby they took her in as their own daughter. They are some of the nicest people I've ever met & are WONDERFUL with Emma I've seen it myself. They love her to tears & will fight for that girl. They would take a bullet for her, she's their world & always will be. They are well respected in the commuinty & will protect that lil girl. They are wonderful people & are prepared to fight for her & always always ALWAYS will.

ForgotMyGingko
ForgotMyGingko

My points are simple: 

1. She isn't legally ABLE to draw up documents, she's a minor. Anything she's signed or decreed is junk.  

2. "Everything for Tabs and Emma" - does this include funerary costs?  I'm sorry, I'm having a hard time with the fact that a. unsecured weapons were in the house with a minor with past suicidal issues  b. the fact that the parents were unable to find suitable psychiatric help for a clearly disturbed teenage boy whilst he was alive  c. did I mention the gun in the house with the disturbed teenage boy?

3. Parenting is still going to be a point of contention given Dylan's teenage antics.   Are these people capable of raising a functional child? Especially one who is going to need extensive psychological help throughout her life given her father killed her mother, then himself. 

My point - and this is based in 17 years in the justice system - is that the child should LEGALLY be with Tabitha's LEGAL guardians or better still, a third party until the matter can be settled by the courts and appropriate medical/social services. 

I am not doubting their love for Emma, I am however doubting the legality of them continuing custody.

Idk why she wasn't...maybe cause Dylan was sick a week before it happened? Cause he was & he was in School on Monday I was worried sick about him & I gave him the biggest hug ever & told him I loved him. That's all I know, those were some of the last words I ever spoke to him & I won't ever forget what's happened. And if someone has their mind made up ya can't stop it...people do crazy shit & this is just another f'd up chapter in my book & I'm pretty f'd up from it & have seen some crazy shit. Hell I've seen Dylan & a teacher of mine who didn't have Dylan as a student had a dream about him & he came to her & told her to tell me some stuff & she did...Emma's got a rough as life ahead of her, but she's got the peiople that care about her & will help her through this as will I & it won't be fun it'll be painful & bring up a lot of emotions...Idk even know wtf to say anymoreI don't wann argue but that's all this is.Shits fucked up, nothing we can do about it 'cept let the Cox's & Belmonte's deal w/ their shit. Have no fighting, fighting will only make shit worse for Emma cause of her feelings & to see what people have said about her dad, her grandparents, her aunt..no one thinks about that. And that's why I'm fighting for Dylan <3 & for Emma & standing up for the Cox's twas an honor to know Dylan for as long as I did & an even bigger privledge to have met Cathy & Darrin & lil precious Emma <3.

Hopefully, the justice system will ask some of the same questions you have FGM.

I find it completely wrong that the murderer's family still has Emma.  How could that possibly be?

There is the document that Tabitha supposedly signed saying she wanted the Cox family to have guadianship of Emma if something would happen within the year.  I find this the most strange of anything.  What 16 year old would ever do anything like that and for only a year.  Wouldn't she think the Emma would go to the father and not his family.  Why only for a year?  Anyone else out in this big world think this sounds a lot like the cox family making Tabitha do this and to exclude dylan for a reason?  Did the Cox family know the threats that were made by dylan against Tabitha?  I would say that is benefitting from knowledge of crime to be committed.

CAN'T THE REST OF THE WORLD LOOK AT THIS AND REALIZE JUST HOW MESSED UP THIS IS AND HOW TABITHA'S FAMILY IS BEING UNFAIRLY TREATD?

ForgotMyGingko
ForgotMyGingko

Well, the bigger legal question is really "Can a 16 year old minor sign anything binding"?   She wasn't an adult.  That's the real pressing question, never mind the circumstances under which the document was allegedly signed.

Sorry it should read that the doucument that Tabitha signed was that if something should happen to her within one year then Emma should go to the Coxes. 

I really wish I knew the date on the document.  It sure would tell a lot.

Btw, Why was Taibtha not in school the Thur and Friday and no one saw her the weekend, plus missed school again on the Monday she was killed?  It sure appeared that people wanted this girl isolated.

In response to published article, taken from the police report, involving Tabby's murder. I am Tabby's mother. I have had to endure the rumors, innuendo and falsehoods that have been maliciously spread about my family and I. I have not responded to date on the hope that the truth will prevail. However, with the latest series of falsehoods, I felt a response necessary. My daughter Tabby was murdered, to imply that she was to blame is unconscionable! I have no idea, why the Cox's felt it necessary (or appropriate), during their 911 call, to falsely claim that Tabby had been "abandoned". For them to tell authorities that " she drove him to do this" along with the other unfair and insidious statements in the investigative report is beyond comprehension. Why, after my sixteen year old daughter is murdered, does belittling Tabby's family, and accusing Tabby of blame, have any place? Where was the concern in the Cox household? Their son was still alive, while Tabby lay dead, upstairs, riddled with four bullets in her body. I cannot fathom the darkness behind these acts, why would anyone do these hateful things? Why would they say such things? Those statements, demonstrating a lack of respect for Tabby, who is dead, are just as cruel as keeping baby Emma from her own mother's funeral. Not allowing us any contact with our granddaughter, serving a custody petition on the day of Tabby's funeral, and so many other disrespectful acts have prolonged this ongoing nightmare. The act of the Forum in picking selected statements from the investigative report and publishing them, without regard to the feelings of Tabby's family, is despicable. Is it just a way to sell papers or does the Forum simply not care about the loss of Tabitha Belmonte's family? After reading the investigative report, rather than condemn sixteen year old Tabby, where was the concern, about loaded guns, several unsecured weapons including handguns and ammunition, the container full of the green leafy substance, all found in the living areas of the Cox home. What about the strange relocation of the murder weapon, used in the shooting, ending up behind the mirror. The investigative report had many other things listed that were odd, but the Forum did not apparently consider them newsworthy. The failure to mention the things going on with Dylan Cox, prior to him ending Tabby's life, is incredulous. Tabby, Emma, and her family, are the victims in this matter. We should never allowed Tabby and Emma to go to the Cox home in the first place. Every day, I think of how different things would be, had we just said "no". Our decision to let them go to the Cox's home, was out of love (not of abandonment), letting Tabby and Emma be there with Dylan. We could never have imagined Tabby would not have survived her residence in that home. We would never have imagined that our own granddaughter, Emma, would be kept from us. We would never have expected that custody would be sought by the same household where Emma's mother had been brutally slain. Each and every day I go by Tabby's room, and the nursery next to it, I am filled with grief when I look at both empty rooms. It is inconceivable to imagine, having your daughter brutally murdered, being forced to fight for custody to get her baby back from the family in whose home this brutal slaying took place. Dylan Cox and his family wanted Tabby to have an abortion, they have placed the blame on Tabby for her own murder. Someday when Emma is old enough she will have to read the unfair press coverage concerning her mother's death. Should'nt the Forum consider that eventuality?

Aside from what he did he was a wonderful, bright eyed boy. Always willing to help cheer a person up ever if he was having a shitty day. Idfc what ya say cause ya didn't know either of them & ya don't know the story. Fuck I prolly know more than half the people that have commeneted on her. The people that post shit about Dylans is what fucks me up cause I know the REAL him & like I said beefore aside from this he was a wonderful kid. And were all a lil messed up in our own ways some more than others. Some can handle it some can't. Nobodys perfect & I'm sure you all have done some sick twisted synical shit.

It was a typo.  I had said he shot her 4 times just prior to the typo.  There is no way to go back and modify posts once they are posted.  Let's see, should we check your crap for spelling, typos and punctuation? 

It seems that friends of dylan, NOT REALLY A SISTER, say nothing about how horrible it is to know a murderer.  Instead they pick apart a 16 year old murdered girl and her family, to make their friend the murderer not appear so bad.  apparently they all just think of it as a poor decision, lil stunt and that it shouldn't matter.  WELL IT DOES.  People supporting dylan have called others nosy, judgemental, heartless, cruel, in need of counseling etc etc Sorry but if you think otherwise, READ ALL THE POSTS.  The first post started out screaming at the reporter that did the story and telling others to think of both families.  IOW, hide behind the bull shyt caring and then turn on Tabby's family.  WHich is exactly what the Cox family has done.  They don't care about Tabitha, they don't care about Tabitha's family, their actions have proven that.

Btw, trying to make others feel like they have no right to judge a murdering psycho because they aren't perfect is stupid. 

If you knew the real dylan, you should have been able to prevent a murder.  You really didn't know the real dylan.

Then face the truth.  YOUR BROTHER MURDERED TABITHA.  END OF IT.  THAT IS THE TRUTH. 

What is the whole story?  That your family now will blame Tabitha for her own death and actually you will try to blame the whole thing on her and her family.  Look at what your mother said to the cops.  She made it appear like everything that happened was because of Tabitha.  

Your family is nothing but bullies.

K for starters he wasn't my real brother.Second don't blame the Cox Family, there was a lot going on & its hard as FUCK to be not only a teenager now a days but a teen parents there's a lot of stress & all sorts of shit that goes on that you so called "parents" don't see cause ur to fuckin dumb & stupid to see what's goin on in front of your eyes.

Tabby wasn't ana angel she had her faults also, it was everyones fault not just Dylans, not just Tabbys, not both families, ITS EVERYONES FAULT. Shit happens its life. We deal with it & we move on. I don't agree with what was done but I will stand up & fight for him til my own fuckin death. IDC what people think the truth hurts & the truth is he shot her, than himself. That's it, drop it & move on. People who push & push shit like this is the reason why people commit suicide. Hell I've almost done it a few times sinthis has happened because of what people have done & said to me because of how close we were.People are cruel & the real bullies are the one like YOU who bash bash & bash 1 family & side w/ another when I'm very sure you didn't know either Tabs or Dylan. I had the HONOR of knowing Dylan for over 7+ years & Tabby for about 3 years. There's more to the story than what you synical twisted people thini. But you will believe what ya wanna believe & think what ya wanna think. That's life & the way it goes.

I think I have the facts.  Tabitha is dead and your little brother murdered her.  He went into the room and put 4 not 1 not 2 not 3 BUT  5 bullets into that young little girl's body.  I think I would rather be abandoned.  Quit bragging about what a good person he was.  Everything that he did that was good was wiped out when he murdered Tabitha. 

You call me heartless. YOUR BROTHER DIDN'T THINK THAT TABITHA WAS GOOD ENOUGH TO MARRY, YOUR BROTHER MURDERED THE MOTHER OF HIS CHILD, YOU WON'T EVEN LET TABITHA'S FAMILY SEE HER CHILD, YOU LIE, CHEAT AND MANIPULATE AND YOU DARE TO CALL ME HEARTLESS.

NO I AM NOT A MEMBER OF THE TABITHA'S FAMILY.  I HAVE NEVER EVEN MET THEM FACE TO FACE.  SO QUIT BLAMING TABBITHA'S MOM FOR WHAT I SAID. 

I'm interested because a psycho like your brother murdered my child.  the family did the same things you are doing to Tabitha's family and like you I will fight unti my death to make sure that murderers are protrayed for what they are .  BTW, I'm sick of a$$holes/fu(kers like you, who do everything they can to make murder acceptable.  

I didn't care about your brother before because I didn't know him.  I don't live in Perham.  I didn't know Tabitha either.  I care now because a little girl was murdered and there doesn't seem to be anyone sticking up for her but a few, which is quite typical after a murder.

You thinkl your family is better for little Emma, well, let's look at it from the public view.  Your family raised a murderer/practicing satanis.  Emma's family DIDN'T.

Are you kidding, hohosr?  This woman's daughter was murdered, her grandaughter kidnapped, her family, herself and her murdered daughter are being lied about and you complain about punctuation.  Do you think she might be under stress?  Like you would care.

Funny thing is that you haven't posted anywhere else.  In fact this is your only post.  It appears you have come here to critcize and try to humiliate this woman.  Why would that be?  Could it be that you are a member of the family or friend of the family of the psycho's family?  I would lay odds on it.

Psycho's Family huh?How about Bobbi & her Meth & how she ran out on Tabs & threw her out when she was pregnant? What about that?! No no one cares about the fact she was never there for Tabs & Emma wasn't kidnapped, I think ya better learn the story & get the facts straight "another mom" Cathy & Darrin Cox deserve Baby Emma & they'll get her.ill help make damn sure of that.

I am a mother of a murdered son. So get over all your crap about what this person was feeling. He appeared to be someone who liked to get people mad at him and he appeared to be someone that was so selfish that he killed another person before he took his own life. He was selfish, manipulative, and evil and I'm sorry at how many people he hurt but the fact is that he is the one that caused all of this.

I am also here to point out the fact that there are very few that are standing up for Tabitha and her familly. It appears that dylan's family are getting their way in everything. They are just as manipulative and selfish as he was.

Btw, you never answered the questions that I have asked, all you have done is defend a murderer. I say that this society loves their murderers and in fact have made gods out of them. This is all messed up but it continues to happen and until we speak up it will keep happening.

So, please stop telling me how messed up I am and look at who you are defending. I will not take crap from someone that doesn't know squat about how murder is justified, condoned and worshipped and how it leaves the family and friends of the victim completely devastated and isolated. Now, how messed up are you to assume that you know where my head is at before you judge? I will judge murder and the people that are on the side of murderers for the rest of my life because this is what murder has done to my family and myself.

I never said I defended what he did, And there is no proof for any satanist bullcrap. just more proof that you are the one that believes everything you read. But I want you to know i feel terrible for what he did. I did extend my condolences to Tabitha's family. not once did i torment them. I feel terrible that their daughter was taken by one's poor decision. If you paid attention to any ofthe things I said you'd know the only thing i'm saying is that the satanism shit was crap we all fucked around about. we're stupid teenagers. I know. But joke or not. what he did was still wrong. and I never said it wasn't. But i won't forget the kid he once was. and he once was my friend. I'll never be able to look at him the same way though.

I didn't believe everything I read. Once again you don't read. I said that I didn't give a dam about the satanistic BS. I just said that in the police report that was in the Fargo Forum 2 days ago that he had a card on his person that stated he was a member of the satanic church. It appears that he was trying to convince and piss off people to the end. Maybe it was you that he fooled. You didn't know he would murder and then kill himself but yet you think that he was just joking about the satanistic garbage.

One's POOR DECISION. You mean just a little oops. A wee itty bitty little mistake. I love the way people make murder into something so much less than it is. MURDER IS FOREVER AND NOTHING IS EVER THE SAME FOR THE PEOPLE THAT LOVED THE VICTIM. NOTHING.

I'm glad you didn't put anything terrible at Tabitha's memorial site. I didn't put anything at either memorial site. So, please do not put me in the category of putting hateful things on dylan's site. I say what I want to here because people such as yourself and many others come here to defend dylan and his family but say nothing about Tabitha and her family. Just the usual lip service of I'm sorrys and all that crap. No one that will dig in and actually fight all the BS that is out there and I WILL DO THAT FOR EVERY VICTIM I CAN.

Btw, getting upset at me because I am judgmental is such a hoot. If people can't pass judgment on a murderer, then who the hell can we ever judge. You see every person you meet in your life, within the first 10 seconds you will pass judgment on and there is nothing wrong with that, we all do it. It is just the way humans are.

Hey Maryztime,  how easy is it to be an internet psychiatrist?  You think I need counseling.  BULL SHYT.  I have had 5 years of psychiatric counseling for PTSD and guess what, it has given me the right to be angry and to confront idiots that think it is okay to say crap like you do.  You don't care if I am well or happy, you say things like this to show others how caring you what to appear to be. 

IOW, you think you can control me with your absolute manipulative garbage.  It does make me feel better though, I must be reaching some people that do care and that dare to stand up for what is right. 

So why don't you get yourself some counseling.  Anyone that thinks that this whole thing is something that shouldn't get people upset and angry are the ones that need the psychiatric help..... NOT ME..

reading your posts...makes me think you need to get some counseling. May you be well and happy.
