Prosecutors: Couple confess to killing family on Christmas Eve
a.. Woman, boyfriend each charged with six counts of aggravated
first-degree murder

b.. Victims include Michele Anderson's parents and brother and
sister-in-law

c.. Anderson's 6-year-old niece and 3-year-old nephew were also killed

d.. Court documents: Joseph McEnroe shot the children in the head

SEATTLE, Washington (AP) -- After slaughtering their parents, Joseph
McEnroe apologized to his girlfriend's young niece and nephew before
shooting both in the head to end a Christmas Eve massacre, prosecutors
alleged Friday.

But even as they filed aggravated first-degree murder charges against
McEnroe and Michele Anderson, prosecutors could not say what might have
driven the couple in the violent killing spree.

"In the end, what motive could you find that would make sense of the
senseless slaying of the Anderson family?" King County Prosecutor Dan
Satterberg said in announcing the charges.

Anderson and McEnroe, both 29, were each charged with six counts of
aggravated first-degree murder. Authorities say they have confessed.

Conviction on aggravated first-degree murder in Washington is punishable
only by death or life in prison without possibility of parole, and
Satterberg said he would give "serious consideration" to the death
penalty.

Telephone calls to public defender George Eppler, Anderson's attorney,
and Devon Gibbs, McEnroe's lawyer, were not returned Friday.

According to court documents, Anderson said both of them shot her
parents, brother and sister-in-law, while McEnroe killed the children.
While long-standing bitterness and a perceived family debt might have
been factors in the killings, the motive may never be known.

Court documents said McEnroe, a store clerk, and Anderson, who is
unemployed, told detectives they armed themselves on Christmas Eve and
went to her parents' home near Carnation, about 25 miles east of Seattle.

There, they confronted Anderson's parents, Wayne Anderson, 60, and Judy
Anderson, 61, in their living room.

Michele Anderson told detectives her brother, a carpenter, owed her money
she had loaned to him years earlier, and that she was upset with her
parents because they did not take her side, documents say. She also said
her parents were pressuring her to start paying rent for staying on their
property, where she lived in a trailer with McEnroe.

"Michelle stated that she was tired of everybody stepping on her," the
court papers say. "She stated that she was upset with her parents and her
brother and that if the problems did not get resolved on December 24,
then her intent was definitely to kill everybody."

Satterberg said Michele Anderson fired once at her father's head but
missed. McEnroe stepped in, leveled his gun and fatally shot Wayne
Anderson in the head, documents said.

Judy Anderson heard the shots and ran from the back room where she had
been wrapping gifts. She was shot by McEnroe, who apologized to her
before shooting her again, this time in the head, the court documents
said.

Satterberg said that the two dragged the bodies to a shed behind the
house, used towels and carpets to sop up blood stains and awaited the
arrival of Anderson's brother, Scott. He was due for a Christmas Eve
visit with his wife, Erica, and children Olivia, 6, and Nathan, 3.

Her brother and sister-in-law put up a brave struggle, according to the
documents. Scott Anderson charged her when she pulled out the gun, and
was shot up to four times, records say.

Michele then shot Erica Anderson twice, but she was able to crawl over
the back of a couch to call 911, authorities said. McEnroe told
detectives he tore the phone from Erica's hands and destroyed it.

Huddling with her children, Erica Anderson pleaded with McEnroe not to
shoot her, saying: "You don't have to do this."

"Yes, we do," McEnroe was quoted as replying in the affidavit. He fired
at her head, authorities said.

Satterberg said that McEnroe apologized to both of the children before he
shot 6-year-old Olivia. He then turned to 3-year-old Nathan, who had
picked up the batteries from the cordless phone his mother had used in
her futile attempt to call for help, court documents said.

McEnroe than fired one last bullet through Nathan's head, according to
the affidavit. When asked why he shot Erica, Olivia and Nathan, McEnroe
told detectives three times: "I didn't want them to turn us in."

After the killings, McEnroe and Anderson first drove north toward Canada,
then south toward Oregon arriving at neither destination, then decided to
go back and pretend to discover the bodies, Satterberg said.

When they arrived Wednesday, investigators were already there.
Detectives, curious that neither McEnroe nor Michele Anderson asked what
had happened at the bustling crime scene, began questioning them and they
eventually confessed, according to the documents.

Now just how demented does someone have to be to basically say "Sorry but
I'll kill you now"?
