Killer's Remains Buried at Arlington


The remains of an Army veteran convicted of stabbing an elderly couple to death were interred at Arlington National Cemetery with full military honors.

Russell W. Wagner, 52, died Feb. 2 in prison, where he was serving two consecutive life sentences for the Valentine's Day 1994 killings of Daniel Davis, 84, and Wilda Davis, 80. Both were bound and repeatedly stabbed.

Wagner's cremated remains were inurned July 27 at the request of Wagner's sister, Karen Anderson, Arlington spokeswoman Lori Calvillo said.

When told by the (Hagerstown) Herald-Mail that Wagner had been convicted of killing two people, Calvillo said, "That would usually prevent you, to tell you the truth," from having a service at Arlington.

Besides, technically speaking, there's a LOT of killers buried at Arlington :evilgrin:

4. Sheesh. Everyone's so sensitive.

I mean, what's the state of things when I can't even joke about soldiers killing civilians? Have we really fallen so far that NOTHING is funny anymore?

Gawd. Next you'll be telling me that jokes about aborted fetuses are somehow "gross" or "disgusting." Word nazi.

2. Yes, but the real issue is how much did he give to the * campaign?

Remember, not long ago, there was an urban legend about how Clinton was selling off plots to "non-service" donors . . .
