As Clint Eastwood would say,
"some men just need hangin'." Meet one of those men.
This is Robert Drew Stephenson.
Fort Worth police state that he abducted and tortured his ex-girlfriend.
Or, to be more specific, that he held her captive for 19 days, during which
he hung her by her feet from a bedroom rafter, used a blowtorch to burn her back and then poured liquid Drano over her burns.But wait, there's more. He also
He injected morphine into her neck because he said he was tired of listening to her cry. He locked her in a small trunk, then placed a dripping water hose in it - an apparent attempt to drown her.
tied her up with duct tape and hit and kicked her and struck her with a metal pipe, breaking her foot. [He] later removed the tape from her head and arms, ripping out portions of her hair in the process and causing pain and bleeding. . . . [He also] forced his ex-girlfriend to have sex on several occasions [during this period].If even a portion of this report is true, then hangin' may be too good for him.
[O]ccasionally, [he] locked the woman in a small trunk in the bedroom and [told her] that he would "get less time for murder than aggravated assault" and that she would "never see her kids again."
What a sick world.
