GAY MAN MURDERED AS PART OF SKINHEAD INITIATION

I'm Back Baby!

I took a wee bit of a sabbatical from Blogging, but, I have returned refreshed and full of Zest! So, keep tuning in for daily updates of the tangiest news around! Ok, on to business...


Police are saying an Oklahoma gay man was kidnapped and murdered as part of a white supremacist gang initiation:


Steven Domer, 62, was abducted on 26 in a gay neighborhood. His car was found the following day and Domer's body was discovered in a ravine.

Friends said that Domer sometimes picked up other men for sex. Witnesses said that Domer was seen talking to two men the night he disappeared.

Investigators then began probing whether anyone known to be gay lived in the area where Domer's body was found.

That led them to Darrell Lynn Madden, 37 (above). Madden is already facing a murder charge in connection with the slaying of his friend Bradley Qualls. Qualls was murdered about ten days after Domer disappeared.

Madden was charged with the Domer killing while he lay in a hospital bed after being shot by police during his arrest for the Qualls murder.

Police allege that both Madden and Qualls were connected to the United Aryan Brotherhood, a violent white supremacist group. But investigators also claim that Madden is bisexual.

According to an affidavit filed by the prosecutor in the Domer case, the killing was part of an initiation for Qualls.

Both Qualls and Madden fit descriptions of the two men who Domer was seen talking to shortly before he disappeared.

The court documents show that Madden's roommate told police he overheard Madden and another man talking about someone who "wouldn't even fight back".

A woman Madden had sometimes dated said she heard him and Qualls talk about killing a man, the affidavit stated.

Madden has been charged with murder in Domer's slaying, on top of the murder charge he has in the Qualls case.

Prosecutors say they cannot charge him with a hate crime because sexuality is not covered under Oklahoma law.
