Parents Hope ‘Merciless Murderer' of Virginia Tech Couple Will Be Caught

It was a heartbreaking anniversary for Heidi Lynn Childs and David Lee Metzler, the sweethearts from Virginia Tech who were slain 10 years ago. Heidi’s mom, Laura Childs, choked up as she and her husband spoke at a local news conference about their daughter. “She never got to finish college or fulfill her dreams of becoming a physician’s assistant,” she said. “She missed her sisters’ and her brother’s high school and college graduation.” Heidi’s sisters stood by, trying to contain their emotion.
