Daughter, 16, charged in murder of mother, brothers

(CNN) -- A teenage daughter's anger over a forbidden romance may have caused the 16-year-old to kill her mother and two brothers, police said.

The killings occurred in the rural East Texas home of Terry and Penny Caffey on Saturday morning, according to a statement released by Rains County Sheriff David Traylor. The home was burned as well as a medical supplies van outside, Traylor said.

In the ashes of the home, authorities found the body of Penny Caffey, 37, and the 8- and 13-year-old boys. All victims were shot and stabbed, police said.

Four suspects are in police custody and have each been charged with three counts of murder. Three suspects were identified as Charlie James Wilkinson, 19; Charles Allen Wade, 20; and Bobbi Gale Johnson, 18, who is female.

Police did not release the name or mug shot of the other suspect, the Caffey's daughter, because she is a juvenile.

Police believe the motive may have been that the teenage daughter was forbidden to date one of the suspects.

"Early on in the investigation it was revealed that the juvenile and one of the suspects were dating and made to break up," Traylor wrote in a release. VideoWatch investigators sift through remains of burned home »

The teenage girl's father, Terry Caffey, who was shot in the head but survived is helping police. Caffey, who is in critical condition, was able to crawl 300 yards to a neighbor's home and later identified one of the suspects.

Carl Johnson, a family friend, told The Associated Press that he saw the bloody trail left by the father who dragged himself to a neighbor's house.

Johnson said the family are musicians and that the boys played guitar and harmonica and the mother is a church piano player. The father often told his daughter that he wanted her to sing at his funeral, Johnson told AP.

"I just thought the whole world of the family," said Johnson, 75. "They were good Christian people. [The father] was like a son of my own."

The killings shocked many in the small east Texas town, the town's mayor said Sunday.

"There hasn't been a murder here in 18 years," said Orvin Carroll, longtime mayor of Alba, Texas -- a town of about 430 people east of Dallas.

"We are all just a little shocked. This is a place where people do not lock their doors. But that is changing," Carroll added.

"We can't believe this could happen to a mother and her children. Not here."

I thought it was a little ironic considering the topics in the Lounge about not letting the kids date... etc.

Wow, this is so sad. I feel sorry for the father that got shot in the head. Good thing he's still alive and that he crawled to a safe house. That girl is crazy for going on a killing rampage just for not being able to date someone. Dating isn't even worth the life of your mother and brothers (and possibly father). I just wish should could have thought twice before doing this. And wow at the 18 years of not even one murder. O__o.. I'm shocked about it happening over there of all places, too.

Damn, was it really that bad?! It really makes me wonder about all of those times I wanted to do stupid shit, but I didn't, because it was petty. She is going to have a LONG time to think about this one for serious.

[LoveToMySilas]

I don't know. Something makes me think that this wasn't the only reason why she decided to shoot her family. And if it is, I feel sorry for her and her father. R.I.P to them.

[Amaranthus]

I could... almost understand shooting the parents for not allowing her to date...but her siblings? For what?
Ridiculous. Unacceptable. Idiocracy

[karmakiller]

Daaaaaamn, what happened to just sneaking around behind your parents backs. I'm sure her younger brothers didn't have anything to do with her parents choosing to not let her date. That's just stupid. She deffinately won't be a getting any dates after this, so it really wasn't worth it.

[*yrrnotelekktric*]

wait, she had a gun?

[Marlons]

She's an idiot.

[absinthe]

WTF. Mental.

I should link my parents. Maybe they'd start letting me date.

[Insurmountable]

lol I was just thinking about this and was going to post it.

1 word, psycho.

aaaahahaha. That one made me laugh.


But seriouslyface.
I don't think she did it, her dad pointed out one of the suspects, they would say if it was the daughter. All they have so far is a theory.

[transcendentalis...]

i can understand being pissed as hell and stubborn with my parents about dating, because i've been that way and am that way (pissed not so much anymore. more nonchalant than pissed). but as for killing people? why? it's not going to get you anywhere, killing people and getting away with it is kind of a delicate business.

perfect example of not thinking something through. damn.

[markmejia]

It tears my heart imagining killing your own family members. That's just completely wrong and sad. -_-

[transcendentalis...]

you must have a nice family.

[S-Majere]

That's nuts. Stupid girl.

[weed]

okay people remember when kids actually listened to their parents and didn't toke guns?

Thats just sad. Oh how times have changed.

One of the reasons why I hate American kids... they're too damn spoiled to honor their parents.

I hope they don't give her life in prison, I hope they have her finished a.s.a.p.

Again, this news wouldn't scare me of my own children, either they listen or they face the consequences.

Stupid spoiled brats pffft....

Edit: What's even comical about this, is that it's your typical white family too lol. Pinche gringos son loco meng. LOL

Edit#2: Also I hate the fact that in a sense you're using this sort of fear tactic to scare people into believing that they should give nearly anything that their future children ask for or this might just happen to them.


A parent should be strict with their children and get their children to understand that their lives and all their belongings are nothing but privileges. All of which the parent can take away from them at any given time. So that as a child evolves, it evolves with respecting their parent's honor. Instead of acting like lil babies and rebel.

Yeah, that's pretty bullshit.

I'm American. I "honor" my parents. They're strict, I respect that, and OH SHIT, they're still alive.

That being said, I'm pretty sure her parents DID set boundaries since they're dead now. I still think the kid was just f**king mental.

Tell me about it. That's the extreme version of rebelling.

[TaintedSakura]

[anzbex]

Very SAD There has to be more below the surface or like most of you say she is MAD!!!
