As a troubled teenager, he gained notoriety for a bizarre and terrifying series of incidents that fueled rumors of severe mental illness, trauma, and psychological instability. But were these warning signs ignored, or were they misunderstood?We examine the facts of the case, the evidence presented at trial, and the ongoing debate surrounding LaPlante's age at the time of the murders.
