"Illegitimate" 6th Von Erich son discovered ...

[PurpleFreddy]

Denton County Sheriff's Office today release the photo (below) discovered at the former family home of the von Erichs. Authorities believe the "sixth von Erich" was often left off camera by Fritz because he was a "special needs" child who could be occupied with a plate full of nachos.

Yeah, but saying "seventh" in a picture with five other brothers would confuse people.

This family might be a good poster child for steroids......true they have a tragic story,.....but suicide is a choice many of them made...you have to wonder why?

I have met Kevin, the remaining brother, when he came into my office looking for a ranch, with his family....a really nice guy who has his family as top priority......super super nice family.....yes, he lived a tragic life, but has found peace now with his family...thank goodness he got out of that insane, drug laced wrestling world before it did him in too.

actually BYY, everyone one in the family was some of the nicest people you would ever meet. i had the privilage of getting to go to church with them when i would stay with my aunt in the summer time growing up. they spent more time with disabled kids than you could imagine. unfortunatly drugs was a part of their life.

That is good to know....yep drugs can certainly bring a good person down.

I work with a guy who had partied with them here and there... Well, not 'with' them, just happened to party where they partied...

I really didn't see anyone making fun of their tragic lives... I did see someone just use the picture of a family...

Could have been ANY family, with any type of tragedy...

Who knows, the nun that we've been making captions for all day may have been the 12th nun to die in a car accident in Chicago this week, but we're using her 'picture' for humor, not her story...

But maybe you were just joking around or something, I dunno...

BTW, I'm surprised to actually see his face in that picture, it's usually covered with cheese...
