Unbelievably Awful: Teens Murdered Two Men, Had Sex On The Bodies And Then Played Grand Theft Auto
On January 10th in Joliet, Illinois, two men were robbed and strangled to death. Police chief Mike Strafton has said “I think you need to know this is one of the most brutal, heinous, really upsetting things that (I’ve seen) in 27 years of law enforcement, It is the worst thing I’ve come across in my career.” Reading about this case I would have to believe that statement. A group of four people, Adam Landerman,19, Bethany McKee, 18, Joshua Miner, 24 and Alisa Massaro,18, invited the victims Eric Glover and Terrence Rankins, both age 22, over to a house for a sex and drugs party. The group of teens planned to rob the victims, because they believed they carried “a lot of money on them.” According to the Joliet Patch:
Massaro reportedly told police McKee knew a man who sold drugs and ”kept a lot of money on him.” Detectives asked her what she meant by a ”lot of money,” and she ”stated approximately $100.”
I think this is a very interesting fact in the case. These teens, and the one 24-year-old, did what they did because of $100. So the four invite the two over for a party. They instruct the two to bring weed and booze, and that sex would be had at the party.
Miner reportedly told police he was on the floor with Massaro and McKee was on a bed fooling around with the ”bald” guest, Rankins. McKee told him to stop, Miner said in a report, but Rankins pulled her pants off, prompting Miner to get up and say, ”You f—— n—–, get off her.”
”Miner then punched him in the side of the head,” a report said.
In the ensuing fight, Miner choked Rankins until he went limp, according to the police report. While Miner and Rankins were grappling, Glover kicked Miner in the head, according to the police report, and Adam Landerman then grabbed Glover and choked him to death as well.
After the victims were dead previous reports had stated that the group had simply hung around and played video games while the corpses lay dead on the living room floor. But according to these new reports, things got much, much worse.
Miner reportedly told police Landerman jumped on the backs of the dead men.
”Miner described Landerman’s actions as surfing on the bodies,” and told how ”they released a gasp of air, and possibly feces as well, as he stated it smelled,” according to a report.
So they “surfed” on the bodies, bodies of two men who were murdered for around $100. Bodies of men who were said to be loved dearly by their friends and family. But that’s not all.
”McKee related that during the night that Josh wanted to put the bodies together, which they did, side by side and they put something over the bodies, which was beige in color and they were going to have sex on top of the bodies,” a report said. ”McKee relates that she did not stick around for that …”
McKee also told police Landerman may have been involved, too.
”McKee did relate that she thought Adam and Alisa had sex because they were talking about having a three-way on top of the bodies that were laying on the floor,” a report stated.
”McKee relates that Alisa agreed with having sex on the bodies because she just wanted to go along with Josh and that they had been together a long time,” the report stated.
When questioned by police, Massaro smirked about having sex on the bodies but then later admitted to it. Another creepy fact about this case is that one of the people involved, Adam Landerman, happens to be the son of Joliet Police Sgt. Julie Larson.
The suspects are being held on ten million dollars bail each. I find it very hard to believe that just weed and booze were involved to make anyone act in such heinous, grotesque ways. An interesting aspect of writing for Mommyish is that we are always supposed to have a strong point of view in the articles we write, and my point of view in this case is that these people are just repulsive animals and I can’t even imagine what would make someone do something like this. For $100? That’s just sheer insanity.
I’ll update this as more details become available, but in the meantime, I’m just trying to understand how a group of people could do something this awful.
