Parents traded sex with daughter for minivan

From The Associated Press on YouTube.
David Meyers, age 52, entered a home in suburban Indianapolis, Indiana in the middle of the night. He was clad only in a mask and latex gloves. He also carried a knife, rope and condoms. The registered sex offender was after the 17-year-old girl who lay asleep in that home. After all, he knew the floor plan. He was related to the people who were renting the home to the girl's family.
But Sunday, September 28, 2008 was the end of the line for the man who had already seen a decade in prison for "criminal confinement and sexual deviate conduct."
Meyers had his goal in sight when the girl awoke and saw the masked, naked perv standing in her room. She screamed.
Her father came running. He managed to subdue Meyers with a choke hold while his wife dialed 911.
By the time police arrived, David Meyers was dead. Police still don't know what killed him -- his own pre-existing heart condition, or the chokehold.
No charges will be filed against the man who defended his daughter from the worst of the darkness.
You reap what you sow if you enter a family's home in the dead of night with no clothes on and a bad ticker. This is as close as a story like this ever comes to a happy ending. A family has been traumatized, but a true predator has been taken off the street forever, and in a cosmically appropriate way.
Only one question nags me in connection with this story -- was this the first time Meyers ever tried such a thing? Or had he perhaps succeeded in the past? Hopefully someone will take the trouble to pop his DNA into some databases and see.
