- The father of a 5-year-old boy killed in 1975 is vowing to murder his son's killer if the man is released, as scheduled, several years early from a 40-year sentence.
John Foreman said in an interview Monday with WPRO-AM radio that he will kill convicted murderer Michael Woodmansee "as aggressively and as painfully" as he killed his son if Woodmansee is released from prison early.
Woodmansee, who was 16 years old at the time, kidnapped and killed Jason Foreman in 1975 in South Kingstown, R.I. He confessed and was convicted of second-degree murder eight years later.
Jason Foreman was presumed to be missing until 1982, when Woodmansee tried to lure another boy into his home. The boy escaped and police began to question Woodmansee about Foreman's disappearance.
Authorities found the boy's skull and bones on Woodmansee's , along with a journal that detailed the gruesome killing. John Foreman told the radio station that Woodmansee wrote about eating his son's flesh in the journal.
If the father sets up some sort of PayPal account, we'll be sure to publish it here so people can make sure he has enough ammunition and a decent shovel to do the job right. We'd even suggest he try to set up the killing here in Chicago where he has (A) better odds of getting away with it, (B) a good chance of beating the case in court in the event he gets caught, and (C) no death penalty in the highly unlikely event he gets convicted. Plus, the current governor will likely commute his sentence on the way out the door.
