The Richardson family murders involved the murder of three members of the family in Medicine Hat, Alberta. The bodies of of Marc Richardson, his wife Debra, and their son Jacob were found by a friend of Jacob on April 23, 2006 at 1pm. Absent from the home at the time was Jasmine Richardson, the couple's 12 year old daughter (early news reports said she was 13). She was later arrested with her 23 year-old boyfriend Jeremy Allan Steinke, connection with the murder. The couple was picked up in Leader, Saskatchewan, a nearby community, the next day.
Under the Youth Criminal Justice Act the name of Jasmine Richardson could no longer be published, after she became a suspect. However, by the time of her arrest, her name had already been widely published. Under the same act, 12 is the lowest possible age a person can be charged, and a 12 year old can not be treated as an adult (meaning a much shorter maximum prison sentence).
According to freinds of the girl, she was grounded by her parents for dating Jeremy Allan Steinke, a 23 year old man. Her friends had criticized the relationship, but the couple continued dating.
After the arrests of the two were made, police indicated that more charges could follow.
According to friends of Stienke, he told them he thought he was a 300-year-old werewolf. He also had a user account at the VapireFreaks.com web site.
