What Is Wrong With This Guy!! 😡😨
TW⚠️
While awaiting trial, LaPlante moved home and continued his daytime bvrglary spree. On Oct. 14, 1987, he stole two .22 Caliber f1rearms from a neighboring house. On Nov. 16, LaPlante bvrglarized the home of the Gustafson family, which included pregnant nursery school teacher Priscilla Gustafson, her husband Andrew, and their two children, five-year-old William and seven-year-old Abigail.
But this wouldn’t be the last time LaPlante broke into their home. On Dec. 1, 1987, LaPlante walked through the woods separating his house from the Gustafson’s armed with a .22 f1rearm.
He confronted Priscilla with the gvn and led her and her son to the bedroom, putting William in the closet and tying Priscilla to the bed and gagging her with one of his socks.
After r4ping Priscilla, Laplante sh0t her twice in the head. He then took William into the bathroom and dr0wned him. As he was leaving, he encountered Abigail Gustafson, who had returned home. He lured Abigail into another bathroom where he dr0wned her as well.
Then, LaPlante simply returned home and attended his niece’s birthday party that evening.
Meanwhile, Andrew Gustafson had been calling his wife all afternoon. Returning to an eerily quiet house with no lights on, Gustafson feared the worst.
LaPlante was easily implicated in the scheme using forensic evidence. Police even found the shirt and gloves he wore to dr0wn the children in the woods behind the Gustafson house, still wet.
LaPlante was interrogated. Lacking enough evidence to arrest him there, police planned to return the following day, but LaPlante fled and a massive manhunt ensued.
After another bvrglary spree in Pepperell, LaPlante was found hiding in a dumpster and arrested on the evening of Dec. 3, 1987.
LaPlante went on trial for the Gustafson mvrders in October 1988 and a jury found him guilty of murder. He was convicted on three life sentences.
LaPlante appealed for a reduced sentence in 2017, but the judge found that he was not remorseful for his crimes. Instead, the judge affirmed LaPlante’s sentence of three consecutive terms of life imprisonment.
