Killer Chris Vaughn Locked Up For 4 Lifetimes

Christopher Vaughn got separate life sentences for the murders of his wife and three children.

Right before a Will County judge dropped four life sentences on Christopher Vaughn, his grief-stricken mother-in-law wondered aloud why he couldn't have abandoned his wife and three children instead of killing them all.
