More information is coming out in the brutal murder of Michael Goucher, 21 (pictured at left), earlier this month. Whether the motive for the killing was robbery or involved a hate crimes is still unclear although the initial story line of the first defendant that it was a case of a gay tryst gone bad seems to be unraveling now that another man has been arrested in the case. The parallels with the murder of Ryan Skipper that I discussed in a prior post this week appear to be strong. Goucher disappeared on the night of Feb. 3 after leaving his apartment to go meet a friend. His body was discovered more than a week later in a wooded area about a quarter mile from where his missing car was reported to police the day before. The brutality of the killing - the body was stabbed about 20 times - certainly make one pause as to why, if robbery was the motive, Goucher was so viciously killed. Here are highlights from the Pocono Record:*
A second suspect has been charged in connection with the murder of Michael Goucher, 21, of Stroudsburg, whose body was found last week. Ian Seagraves was arraigned Wednesday before Mountainhome Magisterial District Judge John Whitesell on charges of murder, aggravated assault, criminal conspiracy, robbery and fabricating or tampering with physical evidence. Seagraves has a MySpace page, on which he describes himself as a "hard core Juggalo." Monroe County crime experts say some Juggalo members are involved in gang activity.

His MySpace name is "ThrOwt Stabba" and his page says he is on probation for 18 months. Goucher went missing Feb. 3 and was found dead in the woods Feb. 11 near where his car was discovered. Shawn Freemore, 19, of Upper Rock Ledge Estate was arrested Feb. 11 and charged with the murder Goucher, eight days after he was last seen alive. Freemore also has a MySpace page, which is linked to the Seagraves page.

A few thing's to ponder:
*Will gay activists now claim these two teens should be tried as minors as they did with Brandon McInerney?
*Will self loathing hypocritical bitchy queens refer to Michael Groucher as a pedophile and child molester as they have with any gay person who uses the internet for sex and porn?
*What does it say again about MySpace and their ban against individuals with criminal records? These two had prior convictions so what the fuck were they doing on it?
