Police Say Rape, Robbery Was the Motive in Gee Family Massacre

| Christopher Harris and his brother Jason were intent on raping his 16-year-old sister-in-law |
Raymond "Rick" Gee, his wife, Ruth, and three of their children -- ages 11-16 -- were all beaten to death by severe blows to their heads. Another three year old daughter was also beaten but survived.
Christopher Harris, 30, is the former husband but still on-again, off-again boyfriend of the Gee's adult daughter Nicole, who hasn't been implicated. He was reportedly still living with Nicole during the time he's accused of slaughtering her family.
Prosecutors now say the Harris brothers went to the home that day to rape 16-year-old Justina. They also took a computer.
Together the brothers now face a whopping 139 counts, ranging from first degree murder and attempted sexual assault to obstructing justice because Jason burned their clothes and hid the computer as police closed in. Jason's girlfriend and her mom also face obstruction charges.
