Murderous maniac William Deparvine allowed to sue his victims' family.

William Deparvine, the deranged murderer who killed Richard and Karla Van Dusen after buying a truck from them, has been allowed to sue his victims despite being convicted and sentenced to death.

In 2003 Richard Van Dusen, who had recently married Karla, wanted to sell his prized 1971 Chevrolet pickup. He posted an ad in the classifieds and the one to respond was DeParvine, just seven months out of prison. Just a day after the sale was to occur, the Van Dusens were found dead, both shot in the back of the head.

According to authorities, Deparvine devised a plan to rob and kill the couple then make it look as though he legally bought the truck and someone else shot them. He even forged a bill of sale that included a $6,500 purchase price and Richard Van Dusen's signature. While Deparvine vociferously protested his innocence, the evidence, including DNA, proved otherwise.

While justice was supposedly served - Deparvine was sentenced to death in 2006 and thusfar all courts have upheld the sentence - a new twist in the plot has occurred. Deparvine has sued the victims' family for ownership of the truck he never bought. Richard Van Dusen's daughter, Michelle Kroeger, hired a law firm to gain possession of the truck, which had been held as evidence, however the murderer decided to file a counter-suit demanding possession.

That Deparvine, a sociopathic maniac, should demand the rights to something he stole is completel unsurprising. The shock in all of this is that the court did not simply throw his lawsuit in the trash. Not only does Deparvine have no right to his stolen goods, as a murderer scheduled to be annihilated, he should have no right to any of his possessions. All of his belongings should be disbursed to the family of the victims.
