It definitely put a damper on my evening. I wouldn't be able to live in that house, nor would I be able to live in the 'Hat residence in question.

Stephen Ford. And yeah, he bludgeoned his parents to death with an axe. Didn't kill anyone else. That murder was pretty much a local legend for some time. In fact, there had been no murders in Airdrie for about 13 years after that... not until two in one week in 2005.
