PC World Editor Murdered

(Pittsburg, California) Police believe the murder of senior editor Rex Farrance, 59, was drug-related.

"We have substantial reason to believe that the victim and his wife were involved in the possession and, potentially, the distribution of illegal narcotics," said Pittsburg police Inspector John Conaty, who declined to specify what type of drugs were involved.

The couple's son, Sterling Farrance, 19, blasted the police assertion that they were involved with illegal drugs, saying he grew and stored medical marijuana at the home with his parents' permission.

See. It's not illegal if it's medical.

Rex Farrance has been described as a rock music fan and a dedicated father and husband. I suspect he was also a doper.
