Burke is a town of about 1,722 people spread over 34 square miles in Caledonia County, in Vermont's Northeast Kingdom. It was first settled in 1792 and organised in 1796, is named after Sir Edmund Burke, and has lived on lumber, farming and, since the 1950s, skiing and vacation homes.
In July 1999 he was charged with felony grand larceny for stealing a motorcycle. In September he pleaded no contest and received a three-year deferred sentence and 100 hours of community service. In January 2000, with several other youths, he took the keys to the Adams School in St. Johnsbury, broke in, vandalised the building and stole Ritalin and other medication from the nurse's office. He was charged with burglary, petty larceny and unlawful trespass, pleaded not guilty and was released on conditions.
Randy got out, called police and said his foster son had shot his wife. Detective Dante Anacelli spotted the car, followed it and called for backup. When it was seen on South Main Street in St. Johnsbury a chase began. About twenty officers were there. Both were handcuffed.
Meanwhile the school held a vigil on the day of the murder and closed the next day with counsellors on hand.
