I see i’m not alone in my thoughts about terry caffey. I agree with Janna and a few more.I think he’s in a deep denial.How can anybody re-marry 7 months after a tragedy such as this.He even lives,with his wife and new family a few miles from where penny and the children are buried.I also think he’s a controlling person. I live about 10 miles from where this happen. I was surprised at how fast he remarried. He also has a page on facebook, asking for donations for his ministry!The book that was published,the tv appearances.All this does make people talk and wonder.Mr.Caffey needs to realize there were other families,good people in this town that are trying to heal too.The families of the convicted have feelings too and are trying to cope with this. He needs to take a backseat and realize this isn’t just about him.I personally see him as a person wanting in "the spotlight". And he is making money off this tragedy.A person with an agent......there’s money involved!

Excellent article. More informative and less biased than others. I have never understood my empathy towards these kids...few people feel as I do... I do know Job was blameless...meaning he did not blame...and Terry Caffey is not a Job... Until he realizes that the day he stood in Gods house and denied giving love to Charlie Wilkinson..is the day he murdered Charlie’s spirit and opened up a world of evil, the he will also remain in prison...no matter how successful he becomes from these tragedies. He was a youth minister who raised a youth like Erin...she didn’t become this evil overnight...he wasn’t teaching love....he was teaching control, segregation, judgment....YES I’m judging ...but if your brother offends you...tell him...Terry Caffey...you struck the first blow...my opinion hasn’t changed in 2 years and your life since only reinforces my opinion. You aren’t serving God, who is love, you are serving yourself...there was no unconditional love for Charlie...where was it??? Don’t call yourself a Christian...You don’t know what it means and those who stand with you are just as blind and ignorant of the truth...Just like you’re daughter who will not admit her culpability ...Just like you’re daughter....who loved attention...just Like you’re daughter who lies and blames others....just like you’re daughter "you don’t have to pull the trigger to murder someone"....admit that. One day maybe the truth will set you free...

The father is more compassionate than I would be. I would have asked the judge for a quick drop with a sudden stop for all involved.

Horrible story. Makes me sad. It would be totally inappropriate for someone to rant about Obama in the comments of this article.

I think the fact that Mr. Caffey is sharing his testimony makes it appropriate, and important, that this article was published. What an example he is of forgiveness and keeping faith even in the midst of unthinkable tragedy.

I disagree with Nadine. I cannot even fathom what pain this causes for the friends and family of the Caffey’s. But nevertheless this website and reading this article is optional. No one reading this article wishes to hurt anyone but to understand how a loving family could end up brutally murdered.

Does this magazine and the reporter realize what these articles are doing to the family? Every time this comes up again people start talking, bad mouthing and saying disrespectfull things about the famillies envolved. Can you not think of the children that are being hurt by all this over and over again. The mothers, grandmothers, fathers, grandfathers, siblings, cousins and aunt and uncles of the murdered and of those involved with the murders have to live with what happened everyday without it being published again and again. Please stop!

I feel so sorry for this guy. I think for him to face the fact that his daughter is a cold-blooded murderer is too unbearable for him, so he is in denial and actually believes she is innocent. My fear is that he will always have the nagging doubt about her innonence and will never truely heal. Plus for him to remarry so soon, I don’t see that marriage lasting too long. That is clearly a rebound relationship and his new wife is foolish to marry him so soon knowing what he went through.
