...three guys. The first one is a 300 pounder with hair down to his waist and a beard down to his navel. He must be a Bears fan because he has painted his face and bare torso blue and orange. The second one isn't quite as introverted as the first, and the third isn't quite the button-down conformist the other two are. Mr. Big is carrying an old milk crate.

But he first appeared in the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services' (DCFS) records in 1985 at the age of 22 months, for treatment of scratches on his neck and bruises on his arms and torso. On the afternoon of Jan. 19, 1986, police found him home alone with two brothers, then ages five and three. All had been abused. Just shy of his third birthday, Sandifer had scars on his face, numerous old, cordlike marks on his abdomen and burns on his neck and buttocks...
