THEY WERE a pill-popping Bonnie and Clyde. And in the end, cops suspect David Laffer massacred four innocents at a Long Island drug store on Father's Day for love. The gun-loving US Army vet, 33, and his 29-year-old wife Melinda Brady were both charged in the chilling slaughter that shattered Medford, NY. He was hit with first-degree murder and she with third-degree robbery. They were busted Wednesday. Both were described by cops and acquaintances as degenerate pill poppers. He had recently lost his job and benefits.
Sources are telling the New York media that detectives
are theorizing the Brady had been jonesing for a fix and played a role in planning the ridiculous caper. In Medford, Laffer was pretty easy to find.
The man loved his painkillers, owned a .45 and looked like, in the words of the NY DAILY NEWS the "weasly-faced" suspect. Video cameras caught the massacre and even veteran cops were stunned by its callous nature. Laffer's capture concludes an intense three-day manhunt for the man who killed two employees and two customers at Haven Drugs, a small family owned pharmacy. Laffer then filled a knapsack with canisters of 10,000 hydrocodone pills.
Pat Moran, whose granddaughter Jamie Taccetta was among the dead said: "I wish they would have shot him from the ankle up...a slow death...and four bullets in his head. You're the devil!"
Indeed.
