Several aspects of the story are interesting. Here's the Daily Mail's tabloid take (which includes - warning - gory crime scene pics).
Beloved psychology professor outed as killer who murdered his family as a teen and was locked up for just 6 years after being found INSANE
On August 4, 1967, 15-year-old James Wolcott shot dead his parents and 17-year-old sister with .22-caliber rifle
Wolcott admitted to the crimes, saying that he hated his mother because he chewed food loudly and his sister because she had a bad accent
Doctors diagnosed Wolcott with paranoid schizophrenia made worse by his addiction to airplane glue
Six years later, Wolcott was released from mental hospital after being declared sane
Changed his name to James St James in 1976 and went on to earn Master's degree and PhD
Chicago Sun Times, an in-state source in terms of his employment:
Millikin professor had dark secret: He killed his family 46 years ago
And the original story, in the Georgetown (TX) Advocate:
