John Caudle is just 14-years-old, a wee boy who looks like the ubiquitous kid next door. And like any kid, he didn't like doing his chores. But this little boy decided to take his rebellion to the Old Testament stage...
As he would later confess, he was arguing with his mother, Joanne Rinebarger, over not wanting to take out the trash or clean his room. But instead of sucking it up, he retrieved his stepdad's .22 pistols and shot her in a bedroom of their Monte Vista, Colorado home.
He then hid in a laundry room waiting for stepfather Tracy Rinebarger to come home. The 14-year-old ambushed him as Tracy walked past his hiding place, shooting and killing him as well. With his parents' dead bodies nearby, Caudle spent the rest of the day watching movies and playing.
