Blog Reveals Dark Side of Oklahoma Murder Suspect

An AP newswire article by Sean Murphy, via Yahoo! News, reports that:

In his online diary, Kevin Ray Underwood scattered posts about depression, isolation and homicidal thoughts among the entries about computer games, family get-togethers and small-town angst.

Authorities believe these are indications of a darker side to the 26-year-old grocery store stocker from Purcell who police say acted on those feelings last week and lured 10-year-old neighbor Jamie Rose Bolin into his apartment where he allegedly beat her over the head with a wooden cutting board and suffocated her with his hands and duct tape.

McClain County District Attorney Tim Kuykendall said formal charges of first-degree murder would be filed Monday in Purcell, a small town about 40 miles south of Oklahoma City.

Purcell Police Chief David Tompkins said investigators believe Underwood sexually assaulted the little girl after he killed her and planned to eat the corpse.
