Stay safe and aware fellow campers. Still too early to know motive, but even so, it's a stark reminder to be prepared for this type of thing. How do you protect yourself when boondocking?

From the local paper, the family had gotten a car stuck and the killer came over and pulled the vehicle from the mud. Came around later had a drink with family then murdered them. He was upset that his father had sold Kemp the land. Very sad.

Unfortunately those murdered had moved from my hometown of Farmington. The oldest was a 77 man who had retired from University of Maine, the only survivor was his wife who called 911. The gentleman's daughter and her fiancé were also murdered as well as his 8 year old grandson, and two other children. Very tragic since they were wonderful people. As far Maine newspapers report they were staying on their lot for a weekend escape.

Yes, that is the way some of the news outlets headlined the article: Campground Murders, Campsite Killings, etc.. Anything for sensationalism.

Thanks for the clarification.

Whew! I saw CG shooting and thought yes the world IS coming to an end. Just glad it was a private property incidence. Albiet sad for the victims.

People on these new synthetic drugs become Very unpredictable, and we will see much more. Stay diligent on this even in your own neighborhood. Sorry if I'm off topic.

Somehow this does not sound like a random killing spree. . . It sounds like there might be some drinking or drugs involved, and the guy was high when doing something that crazy.

They did not release any names, they might have been family members, or rented a place from the suspect to stay there, and something went wrong. Very wrong. ..

This wasn't a 'campground'. The party was parked at a residence.
