Esteemed college professor, 61, revealed to be teen killer who murdered his family in 1967

[blighted star]

None of us in any case that is presented here on MDS hadsroom to judge!!!! Out situations might be similar and we can EMPATHIZE. If he killed his step dad over abuse?? How many of you have thought about it if you were in that situation?? Beaten, raped???

There seem to be some comments that suggest he's spoken of abuse, and others that suggest people got a "vibe" from his father - which of course could be complete & utter bullshit, simple misunderstanding etc, etc, but in any case these comments are out there. & there's the fact that most happy, well-adjusted teens with supportive parents don't huff glue on a daily basis - that's not recreational drug-use.

Samuel Doughty 10 hours agoAt the time of the murders, I was a graduate student at UT-Austin and a former Southwestern student. In the school year before the murders, I taught physics and mathematics at SU, and I was well acquainted with Prof. Gordon Wolcott.

I recall to this day a conversation we had outside the science building on the side walk. He was talking about his family and how proud of them he was. He mentioned his daughter, Libby, and he made a comment I have forever thought was very very strange. Talking about how pretty she was (I don't think I ever saw her), he did say, "She is a bubble butt." I thought that was an odd, rather sexual way for a father to talk about his own daughter.

Is this at all credible? Anyone know if bubblebutt was even used in the 1960's?
