    I love reading about true crime. I go to Barnes and Nobles just to buy the true crime new releases. It just amazes me how normal people suddenly turn into murders.

    When it comes to family values, gradually the public will learn via the internet, (not throught traditional media) that the U.S. is a third world county.

    Interesting…

    Are you at all familiar with the Texarkana Phantom Murders. It was captured in a good, but little seen film called, “The Town That Dreaded Sundown” from 1975 or 1976.

    The crimes themselves happene din the late 40’s. Fascinating read if you’re not familiar with it

    Enjoyed your site.

    Laurie,

    Yes, I am familiar with the Phantom Murders and I own a copy of that movie! Currently a documentary is in the works on it also. I heard it should be out this summer. I will be doing a post on these murders the next time I do a serial killer month.

    Joanne,

    I will be posting on them this weekend, but I can tell you that Stuart turned State’s evidence against his brother. Both got prison, but I don’t remember the exact sentences off the top of my head.

    LAST TIME I SAW STEWART, HE WAS “GOING BLIND” DUE TO DIABETES AND THAT WAS “BEFORE” THE MOVIE AND BOOK CAME OUT, CONFIRMING ALL THE DETAILS THAT HE HAD “CONVINCED” MYSELF AND OTHERS HE “HAD NO PART IN”……WHICH OF COURSE, WAS A 100% LIE…..
    NEITHER STEWART OR NEIL WILL EVER “SEE THE LIGHT OF DAY” AS THEY HAVE NOT ONLY GOT “LIFE WITHOUT PAROLE” FOR THE MURDERS, BUT FURTHER LIFE SENTENCING FOR CONSPIRACY, MURDER FOR HIRE, FELONY TAX EVASION, AND AN AMAZING AMOUNT OF OTHER FELONY HARD YEARS OF PRISON FOR ALL THEIR IMMORAL/ILLEGAL ACTS.

    Why did Stewart gain so much weight? He couldn’t have weighed over 170 the last time I saw him which was quite a long time ago. He and his family were close and he still lived at home, in LA. What happened to him?
    He had everything going for him.
    So sad.
    I thought he loved his father and mother.

    Thank you so much. It still hasn’t sunk in yet.

    Stewart and I were only 21 years old. His dad, mom were so nice to me. I can’t believe I knew a family that had such a violent future ahead of them. I bet you did too.

    Stewart didn’t like my baby blue GTO, thought I spent too much money.

    I must have been living in a cave not to have turned on the TV to see until 2 weeks ago. It brought back a multitude of memories. Of all the people in the world to meet and get to know.

    I had never met such a kind, handsome man in my entire life that worshiped his father and loved his mother.

    He was so dedicated to his dad. He sure did talk on the phone a lot. He was always coming to Texas back then. Builder’s Convention, this was 68 too. He was so grown up to be so young, he gave his whole life to his family. He lived at home before they moved to the larger house they were building, this was 69. They keep giving different ages on Stewart, he couldn’t have been 20, his dad sure did put him to work young.

    Stewart was not materalistic back then either. The whole family was frugile. He worked to please his dad.

    I am so glad he has children that love him.

    I wonder how he stayed out of the draft?I forgot to ask him. He must have been real unhappy to gain so much weight.

    I guess he got in with a nightmare of a crowd. This just doesn’t seem real.

    Stewart couldn’t go to college, I always wondered, but that’s the way it was.

    Guess his dad changed his mind.

    May God have Mercy on his soul and one day he can get out and be with his children.

    He lost his moral compass, I’m so sorry.

    Stewart’s cooperation had earned him a sentence of 25 years to life in prison. At his sentencing, as he did while testifying, Stewart apologized.

    Neil was a different matter. At his sentencing, he talked about how his brother had always hated him even though he remained loyal. He said he didn’t have any previous knowledge of the crime. “I want the court to know, as I sit here, I’m not guilty of this crime,” Neil said, according to a story by City News Service. The judge handed down a sentence identical to Stewart’s.

  16. Knew Neil Says:
    April 18, 2008 at 8:54 pm

    I knew Neil and not Stewart. I was introduced to him in 1982— I was introduced to Neil by my partner in business and he lived large and talked big. He was open about hating his parents.

    When the murders happened I was shocked but did not immediately think that Neil did it. I never knew Stewart.

    Later when the murder for hire put Neil and Stewart in jail my partner put up money for his defense. I begged him not to put up the money for the defense but they had been close friends.

    I thought that Neil had paid for the murders but stopped following the case.

    My take on Neil was that he was egotistical and living large. I did not know he was living beyond his means.

    Maxine was sweet funny and the kids Jenifer and Paul nice kids. It was sad to see money become the reason to kill their mother and father. But more then money Neil spoke opening about hating his mother and father.

    I only spent about 7 or 8 total days with the Woodman’s in the 3 years before the murders but it was enough to know that I did not like him and tolerated his rudeness because he was my partner’s best friend

    DOES ANYBODY KNOW THE UPDATES ON THE SURVIVOR OF MARCUS WESSON? I’M INTERESTED TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TO ROSA AND ELIZABETH?

    I met Stewart’s brother, wife and the first newborn baby. 1969.
    Neil didn’t speak, but his wife did and was very nice.
    They lived in a nice apartment. I can’t remember where. They were proud of the tiny newborn.

    His father was critical, but very nice. They just had a regular ranch house, with a swimming pool. The front just had a lot of cement.

    I walked down the hall, and Stewart laughing told me to come back, I think he had bunk beds or something. That’s how young he was. His mom was in the kitchen. He was funny.

    Stewart was just a kid. Now I realize that. He was a baby almost.

    I have not been back to California in decades.

    Stewart must have married the year after I last saw him in Texas.

    He sure got big. I know his dad hated that. I gained 3 pounds and he made a comment. I knew I could never gain an ounce and be around him.

    I left Beverly Hills so long ago.

    I am not Jewish. It’s amazing we got along. Stewart was not prejudice back then. Neither was I. He was just a cute guy that adored his parents. It was not an act either,
    But was only 20 years old. Very strange.
    There is no way to contact them either.
    How sad, it’s just does not add up, does it?
