Parents want girl to break up with bf, they kill family

ALBA, Texas – Penny and Terry Caffey wanted their 16-year-old daughter to break up with a boyfriend.

And that, authorities said Sunday, apparently led a group of young people to carry out a massacre, stabbing or shooting not just the parents but also their two younger children, then burning the family's house down Saturday.

Agents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms examine the charred remains of a the Alba, Texas, home where a mother and two of her children were killed in a predawn attack Saturday.

Only Mr. Caffey survived, after crawling more than 300 yards to a neighbor's house with four bullets in his back and a head wound. He underwent surgery Sunday and is expected to live.

"He said he didn't know how he was alive," said friend John Hines, who visited Mr. Caffey at the hospital. "He played dead."

Rains County Sheriff David Traylor identified three adult suspects: Charlie James Wilkinson, 19; Charles Allen Waid, 20; and Bobbi Gale Johnson, 18, all of Emory.

Each faces three capital murder charges and bail of $1.5 million. None has an attorney yet, Sheriff Traylor said.

Also detained but not identified because of her age was the Caffeys' daughter. She is being held at the Hunt County juvenile detention facility in Greenville.

"At this time, I feel confident that the investigation has led to the arrest of all individuals involved," the sheriff said. "The juvenile and one other were dating and made to break up, leading to a possible motive."

The Caffeys were asleep in their bedrooms when the ambush began, Sheriff Traylor said. He said Mrs. Caffey and Mathew, 13, suffered gunshots and stab wounds; Tyler, 8, had only stab wounds.

Investigators said the girl was found hiding in a nearby home with one of the other suspects.

Sheriff Traylor did not say which suspect she was with. Classmates said she had been dating Mr. Wilkinson.

Carl Johnson, a friend of the family, said the Caffeys moved about two years ago to their home, which is nestled in the woods about 60 miles east of Dallas.

He called the family good Christians and said he had often told the daughter that he wanted her soft singing voice heard at his funeral.

"They didn't like the boy and were trying to break them up," Mr. Johnson said. "They told me at church they didn't have any use for him."

The attack took place in Alba, about 60 miles east of Dallas.

Classmates of the Caffeys' daughter said she had just started at Rains High School this semester. Mr. Hines said the children were home-schooled until recently.

Classmate Jennifer McClanahan, 17, said she didn't know the Caffeys' daughter well. She described Mr. Wilkinson as a smart aleck who was sometimes disruptive in class.

The killings gripped everything in Emory, from the Sunday-morning church services to lunch conversations at the small cafes along the two-lane road running through this town of just 1,500.

The Caffeys attended Miracle Faith Baptist Church, where about 80 congregants wept Sunday and clutched small children to their side during a somber sermon.

Pastor Todd McGahee struggled to keep his composure as he remembered Ms. Caffey "getting after it" on the church piano and her sons playing guitar with her.

"When I first heard, I was like, 'I don't even think I would have crawled out of the house,' " Mr. McGahee told worshippers. "But God has a purpose for Terry's life. God has a reason. God gave him the strength to get out."

Mr. McGahee implored worshippers to pray for the Caffeys' daughter and not blame the parents of the suspects, at least one of whom attended the small church.

"There's been a change in this church and a change in this community," he said. "And we can't just wish it away. ... It will be the same loss, the same hurt tomorrow. There's been that change in our lives."

Sounds like the Parents knew their daughter was mixed up with the wrong crowd...I guess that is why they wanted her to break up...with him...

Very true. No social interaction.

Reminds me of my longtime friend back in Texas, his dad was a preacher who had three other daughters. They werent allowed to go to public school and wernt allowed to watch most channels on TV (in particular, VH1 and MTV). All three daughters were pregnant by 15 and were all trashy. Makes me wonder if they had just small differences in their home life that they'd turn out completely different.

Cause not only are we cool enough to get to carry guns, but we have the best of both worlds...

Southern ignorant rednecks and over population due to illegal immigration.

Plus our news has nothing better to report on compared to the ***** in CA and the tree huggers there in Canada //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/tongue.gif.6130eb82179565f6db8d26d6001dcd24.gif
