Sheriff: Snake collector confesses to double murder

You got to love this title. Snake people are haveing enough problems and now this. Most of his snakes are now at a local pet shop. I went and looked at them today. He had some nice stuff. What a shame. Here is the story.

New Port Richey, Florida - A Hernando County man is in custody after the Sheriff of Pasco County says he confessed to shooting and killing his wife and a man that she was in a relationship with.

47-year-old Michael McAdams was named a person of interest after Lynda McAdams of Dade City and William Andrews of New Port Richey went missing Sunday. Now Sheriff Bob White says Michael McAdams is the prime suspect after he admitted to killing the couple at the home he formerly shared with his wife at 17928 Palomina Lake Drive in Dade City. Sheriff White says, "I understand that he wanted to get it all off his chest."

White says Michael McAdams has also admitted to taking the bodies to a rural area of West Hernando County, where he buried them. White adds, "He also admitted to transporting and burying the bodies. Apparenty he's a snake collector and he's familiar with remote areas of Hernando County because that's where he collects a lot of his specimens."

William Andrews and Lynda McAdams were in a relationship. The two were co-workers at the Bic Pen Company in St. Petersburg according the Sheriff White. Lynda McAdams and Michael McAdams were still legally married though the sheriff says she'd recently asked Michael McAdams for a divorce, "They were still married. The McAdams were still husband and wife but they were living separately."

The McAdams have two daughters.

Michael McAdams has not been formally charged yet. The sheriff's office says they're still investigating along with other agencies. There are several different crime scenes involved including the home where the couple was shot, the home of Michael McAdams, and the rural area in Hernando county where the bodies are buried.

Sarah? Sarah Palin? Haha! The first glance kinda got me there I obviously looked at the pics before I read the article

They could've left the part about snake owning out. It has nothing to do with killing. News...

And now that I have read the article, couple things:

First, my original comment was a bit tasteless and disrespectful to the deceased in this story. Not cool of me to joke on that and I apologize.

And secondly just as stated above, they totally could have left out the snake collector part. A complete shot to the gut of snake keepers how they (media) try to paint us in a poor light as if we have something wrong with us due to our passion.

I second that - at first I thought "I'd feel like killing my spouse and their counterpart too if they cheated..." but not knowing the full story that's a bit crude of me to say.
