Serial Killer Remembers Neighbors As Quiet, Unsuspecting

DOTHAN, AL—Arrested Monday in connection with a 17-month killing spree that claimed the lives of 23 people, alleged serial killer Henry Wayne Vaughn recalled his numerous neighbors as “quiet and unsuspecting.” “The Blaines were nice people who pretty much kept to themselves,” Vaughn said of Michael and Meredith Blaine, a young couple who lived across the street from the serial killer until their deaths on Oct. 9, 1998. “They always seemed very cordial and extremely trusting.” Vaughn also fondly remembered the neighborly spirit of the Baggios of Juniper Street. “I paid their kid to mow my lawn once,” he said, “and after that it was as if we were old friends.” Vaughn also praised his postman as extremely polite and helpful, noting, “He’d come right into your basement if you said you needed help reaching something.”
