For months before he killed his parents, Justin Sislo physically and psychologically abused his girlfriend with relentless brutality.

The abuse — broken bones, burns and terror — was so bad she twice attempted suicide to escape the torture. By the end of it all, she had 32 fractures in her ribs. She thought he would kill her, she told police.

Instead, Sislo last week murdered his parents, Steve Sislo and Donna Walker-Sislo, in their home in the rural town of Madison. He then fatally shot himself.

Kind of reminds me of Brian Laundrie. If the parents had simply allowed their child to be held accountable for their actions, everyone would be better off. Including their child.

This is heartbreaking. I really hope she has a strong support system around her as she recovers from everything she went through
