Father denied bond in 'slaughter of two little girls'

WAUKEGAN -- Jerry Hobbs told investigators he was angry at his 8-year-old daughter for stealing money when he tracked her down in a wooded park on Mother's Day, punched her and then killed her and her best friend, stabbing the girls more than 30 times, prosecutors said Wednesday at his first court appearance on murder charges.

Hobbs, shackled and in a dark blue jail uniform, stared at the courtroom floor as Assistant Lake County State's Attorney Jeff Pavletic described the case against him.

"This was a slaughter of two little girls," Pavletic said.

The killer was so enraged, he said, that the knife went through Laura Hobbs' neck and into her spine, and she had been stabbed once in each eye.

After hearing the prosecutor's descriptions, the judge ordered Hobbs held without bond. A public defender had not yet been appointed to represent him.

Hobbs had led police to the bodies of Laura and her 9-year-old friend Krystal Tobias early Monday morning, claiming he had come across them just off the Beulah Park bike path while searching with relatives for his missing daughter.

In videotaped interviews over the following two days, however, prosecutors say Hobbs told them that he killed both girls after Laura refused to leave the park and that he then dragged their bodies into the woods.

Sick fucking bastard!

I've got my little boy here sitting on my knee, as he chills out ready for bed. I went numb reading that story. Nothing he could do could ever make me want to harm him.


I hope they kill that guy nice and slow!

He is a sick bastard.

Not so sure about the "what is the world coming too" stuff, though ... sick bastards have always been around. With 24 hour news services and stiff competition, I think we HEAR about more stuff than we used to - especially gloom and doom stuff that makes those so inclined wring their hands and bemoan the state of the world.
