Christian Longo was born on January 23rd, 1974 in Ypsilanti, Michigan. He came from a very religious household and grew up training to be a Jehova’s Witness missionary. But as Christian got older, he became less and less…holy. He started stealing money from his employers, and that wasn’t all. Soon he was writing false checks, taking out credit cards in other peoples’ names, and committing auto theft. He moved his family of 5 to Oregon to flee police, and that’s where things took a very dark turn. In December of 2001, Christian killed his wife and three kids, then took off to Mexico.
