A horrifying story out of Michigan came to a bizarre conclusion in court this week:
Police say a Marine recruiter named Ricardo Perez Castillo recently entered a neighbor’s home in Rockford, Michigan, took a knife from a kitchen drawer, and removed his pants.
He proceeded upstairs to the bedroom of an 11-year-old girl, whom he repeatedly stabbed.
The girl was sleeping over at a friend’s house, and thankfully, the friend’s parents interrupted the attack before it was too late.
“He went upstairs and the first room he checked was the parents, they were sleeping, so he shut that door,” Kent County Chief Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Elizabeth Bartlett recently told People magazine.
“The second bedroom was locked. And then the third bedroom was the girls.
