Psycho Gee Family Killer Loose in Rural Illinois
The Bloomington, IL Pantagraph tells us today that a manhunt is on after 5 family members (were) killed in tiny, unincorporated Beason, Illinois. From the Pantagraph:
Searchers scoured the ditches and soybeans fields that border the small town of Beason on Tuesday as police vowed to find whoever killed five family members whose bodies were found Monday in their home on the northern edge of town.
Confirmed dead were Raymond “Rick” Gee, 46, his wife, Ruth Gee, 39, Justina Constant, 16, Dillen Constant, 14, and Austin Gee, 11.
The paper goes on to inform us that a toddler, age 3, was found alive at the scene and taken to a medical facility in Peoria.
According to Logan County Sheriff Steve Nichols, this was “a brutal homicide against an entire family.” His department, the Sheriff said to local media, is “determined to identify and arrest those responsible.”
The Logan County authorities aren’t fooling around here; they have taken an unusual step in this case – proactively informing local residents that they should be wary. Nichols told the media that whoever killed the Gee/Constant family is considered “armed and dangerous.”
This is In Cold Blood territory here – the middle of nowhere, a tiny town surrounded by soybean fields.
More details as they are available.

I understand they’ve also taken other family members into protective custody, as of last night. Damn scary.
