He had a maternal Great Grandmother still living in 1984 in Nevada, Missouri named W.M. Oyler.    The family lived in Kansas City, Missouri in 1984 near 18th and Oakland Avenue.    On Tuesday,  August 7th, 1984, Christopher was planning to play outside. Sometimes he went to the public pool. Sometimes he and the local kids would play baseball. This was the era when “playing outside” meant that your family almost never knew exactly where you were.

That night was violent and tragic. Rhonda was beaten to death.

One of his eyes was a bit crossed.    He had a gun and demanded money. Vick...
