On the night of February 12, 1988 Ken Eatonpaid a visit to the Des Moines cruising scene, know to locals as the "gay loop." Ken mistakenly fell in with two homophobic, cowardly killers, Gary Titus and Billy Green. After talking for a while Ken invited the two men back to his apartment, apparently under the impression that they would have drinks and then, perhaps, sex. At some point in the early hours of the 13th the two men brutally stabbed Ken Eaton to death. They then stole several minor items, including some clothes and an old VCR. While incarcerated, Titus' younger brother came out as gay to his killer-brother. Titus has since found god. Both killers are serving life sentences without the possibility of parole.
