Indiana Father Kills Sex Offender Who Broke Into Home
INDIANAPOLIS — A convicted sex offender died Sunday during a struggle with a father who found the naked man in or near his 17-year-old daughter's bedroom, police said.
Police responding to a call from the city's northwest side about 3:20 a.m. found 64-year-old Robert McNally on the hallway floor with his arm around the neck of 52-year-old David T. Meyers, who was pronounced dead at the scene.
Police spokesman Sgt. Matthew Mount said Meyers had a heart condition and may have had a heart attack. An autopsy was planned.
Police said Meyers was naked except for a mask and latex gloves and had entered the home through a window near the girl's bedroom with rope, condoms and a knife. He was familiar with the home's layout because it belonged to a relative, police said.
The girl awoke and screamed when she saw the man in her room, police said. The father responded and struggled with the intruder while the girl's mother phoned 911.
Police did not anticipate any charges against McNally.
"If a person breaks into your home, you are justified in using deadly force in defending your family," said Mount. "In this situation, I don't think he was trying to kill him, he was trying to hold him down."
Meyers had served 10 years in prison for criminal confinement and sexual deviate conduct and was wanted in Boone County for failure to register as a sex offender. He was registered as a sex offender in Marion County.
Police said Meyers lived with his mother and had recently lost his job.
The death is under investigation and will be reviewed by a Marion County prosecutor.
"Nobody wins," McNally told The Indianapolis Star. "It's a lose-lose situation for everybody. He has family also."
He said his daughter went to church Sunday after the incident.
I don't normally reveal my views on here unless it's about R/C's or along those lines, but today I make an exception.
I smiled after reading this article.
I strongly believe sex offenders have no place on this earth. I for one would love to see something like drawn out, unbelievable torture. A simple flip of the switch or injection in the arm is a cop out and much to easy of a way to go.
I've always had a strong feeling against sex offenders. It wasn't until I started dating someone for about 3 years did I my disgust for them really expand. I always figured the victim would have a hell of scar afterwords - never did I guess though it would effect them on a DAILY basis. The girl I dated had this happen nearly 12 years before we started dating and it still played a role in her life all those years later.
If you rape, molest children or even get slightly aroused by children - then you deserve nothing but the worst... and even then I think that's not enough.
