Includes more details about confession, rescue etc.

Pictures of inside MH home (and probably murder weapon, although not labeled as such).

From your link:

"Hoffman said he did not want to be injected with Thorazine (a drug used to treat schizophrenia) the rest of his life in prison and wanted to end his life."

I wonder where/how he came into contact with Thorazine?

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmedhealth/PMH0000553

The link says it is used in the treatment of schizophrenia, bipolar maniac phase, and for violent agressive behavior.

Maybe his previous prison stay? He seems pretty confident that he will get it if he goes to prison.

He actually went back to the field and watched the cops at the home???
Picked up his stuff and then went home. This guy is cold!

Covering his tracks, so he wouldn't get caught (as was the plan to burn down the house, which didn't happen, thanks to the DQ manager).

Probably. For which "disorder", one can only guess at this point.

Was just after midnight. That Walmart would not have been busy after midnight, as most of Mt. Vernon slows down to a snail's pace after 8-9 p.m.

I did take mental note of the fact that he entered the parking lot from the east, which is the direction he would enter if coming from TH's home (I'm local, so can picture it better ... and knowing that's how I would enter, if coming from home in Apple Valley).
 
How did Hoffman get a loan to buy a house, and also a new car, when he owed $2 million in restitution fees for the burglary and arson of the condominiums.

That house certainly provided him with the seclusion he wanted to carry out his crimes.

Also says in this article that he was a truck driver for awhile. Wonder if he did anything while on the road during that period?

Says here too that he played with many children in that neighborhood on a frequent basis, swinging on ropes, climbing trees, etc. (Or did I read that wrong?) Wonder what he found out about the daughter from the other kids.

With the degree of fantasy and the confidence he showed in this murder, it wouldn't surprise me at all if he had done it before.

more disturbing details from this heartless killer.

And I don't buy his story that he was there to only commit a burglary either...his statements do seem to be self-serving.

Knox County killer: 'I did not know a single one of them'
Matthew Hoffman's confession details triple murder, kidnapping

Monday, February 7, 2011 03:26 PM
BY ALLISON MANNING AND HOLLY ZACHARIAH


MOUNT VERNON, Ohio - To save his own life, Matthew Hoffman promised to tell authorities every excruciating detail of how and why he killed three unsuspecting people in November and why he kidnapped a teenage girl.
..........
His four-page confession available for the first time today doesn't make sense of a seemingly senseless crime, but it does offer the first public peek into the mind of an out-of-work ex-con who went from burglar to mass murderer in a matter of hours.
..........
But the bulk of his confession is about the four days he spent at his own home on Columbus Road near downown Mount Vernon with the 13-year-old girl he kidnapped - how he let her play Wii video games, how they watched the Iron Man movies together, how he gave her a copy of the novel Treasure Island to pass the time.

He wrote that he cooked her hamburgers, slept with his arm around her and, in his own twisted mind, appears to believe he showed her some compassion.

much more here

I've been obsessing over this and just have to get it out.

He referred to "processing" the bodies.

Farmers and deer hunters take their animals to a processing plant to be cut up, packaged and frozen. He apparently is a hunter and it just keeps going through my mind. He seems to have been thinking of the people he killed the same as an animal that might be killed for food.
 
The 13yr old survivor is on the today show right now (eastern time)
 
I just saw it LMax. What a strong and inspiring young lady!

I loved when her Dad said that stealers steal and killers kill and he did not believe for a minute that it was a robbery gone bad.

Sarah also said that he did NOT make her hamburgers or feed her during her captivity. She said she survived by doing what he said to do. Very brave young lady!

For those who missed the interview, Today will many times rerun in the 9:00 EST hr.

Oh one other thing, Meredith Viera made it clear that Sarah asked to be on the show so she could speak out publically and her Dad said the family supports her decision to do so.

He (they) have began a non profit organization in memory of Tina and Cody to help victims of violent crime.

Sarah had tears in her eyes when she spoke of her mom and brother. It broke my heart to see her pain.

I'll post a link to the interview when NBC puts it on their web site....

Knox County killer in Toledo prison

http://www.dispatch.com/live/conten...3/03/knox-county-killer-in-toledo-prison.html

Knox County murderer Matthew Hoffman's new home is the Toledo Correctional Institution.

Hoffman was moved to the Toledo prison on Monday, where he is classified as a level 3 "close security" inmate. Inmates are classified within a five-tier system, from minimum security to administrative maximum, which is for inmates housed at the Ohio State Penitentiary in Youngstown.

He is in protective custody, which means he is segregated from the general population in a single cell.

Knox County Sheriff David Barber was honored during the National Missing Children’s Day observance last Wednesday in Washington, D.C.

(snip)

Although the investigation was a joint effort by many agencies and individuals, the Attorney General’s Office pointed out that the leadership and decisions made in the case were the responsibility of one person, Barber. This included the decisions that led the rescue of Sarah Maynard.
