| Father Kills Armed, Naked Perv Armed w/Knife In Daughters Room |
| 2008-09-28 |
| A convicted sex offender died Sunday during a struggle with a father who found the naked man in or near his 17-year-old daughter's bedroom, police said. Police responding to a call from the city's northwest side about 3:20 a.m. found 64-year-old Robert McNally on the hallway floor with his arm around the neck of 52-year-old David T. Meyers, who was pronounced dead at the scene. Police spokesman Sgt. Matthew Mount said Meyers had a heart condition and may have had a heart attack. An autopsy was planned. Police said Meyers was naked except for a mask and latex gloves and had entered the home through a window near the girl's bedroom with rope, condoms and a knife. He was familiar with the home's layout because it belonged to a relative, police said. The girl awoke and screamed when she saw the man in her room, police said. The father responded and struggled with the intruder while the girl's mother phoned 911. Police did not anticipate any charges against McNally. "If a person breaks into your home, you are justified in using deadly force in defending your family," said Mount. "In this situation, I don't think he was trying to kill him, he was trying to hold him down." Meyers had served 10 years in prison for criminal confinement and sexual deviate conduct and was wanted in Boone County for failure to register as a sex offender. He was registered as a sex offender in Marion County. Police said Meyers lived with his mother and had recently lost his job. The death is under investigation and will be reviewed by a Marion County prosecutor. "Nobody wins," McNally told The Indianapolis Star. "It's a lose-lose situation for everybody. He has family also." Uh, no, Mr. McNally. Your daughter wins big time. Armed sex offender loses. And that is a very good thing. |

| #4 Sorry Jim, can't agree with you. There would have been much more damage to the victim and her family if the perp had had his way. At least the perp died and was not allowed to take anyone else with him. |

| #2 Well done McNally. You did your job, the perp did his, by dying. Hope he was scared at the end, since that's what he intended for his victim(s). Bury him in an unmarked grave in a swampy area. |

| #1 Well done, Mr. McNally. It is quite possible you may never again do anything quite so extraordinarily important for your family. This citizen thanks you for removing a clear and present danger from our society. Let's add up the total: perp dead, no trial costs, no incarceration costs, small burial cost, scumbag removed from opportunity to commit further outrage...sounds like the citizenry wins BIG TIME! |
