Teacher Kills Student Lover, 16

(Yukon, Oklahoma) A 32-year-old former teacher at a Yukon alternative school, Robert Paul Roberson, was shot and killed by police Saturday morning while he was stabbing a 16-year-old former student to death. The female student, Bailey Rian Thrasher, became Roberson's lover at 13 and recently left him.

Roberson, wearing a wig, kicked in the door of the teen's apartment and made everyone inside line up against the wall, said Melissa Stringer, Thrasher's aunt.

"If Bailey doesn't come with me, I'm killing her first, then I'll kill all of you," Stringer said she was told the gunman demanded. "If anyone calls 911, I'll kill you all."

Meanwhile, Thrasher was able to call 911 with a cell phone without the gunman knowing, Stringer said. She decided to leave her apartment with her ex-boyfriend, stating as she left "He won't hurt me."

They got into a car, which was not his, Stringer said. As they left the apartment, an officer spotted the car and followed. A chase ensued. It ended on State Highway 152 in Mustang when an officer pushed the car off the road.

As officers approached the car, Roberson was stabbing Thrasher repeatedly, police said. He wouldn't stop, so officers fired several shots at him, killing him.

Bailey Thrasher died before help arrived.

Interestingly, the girl's father, Darin Thrasher, allowed his daughter to shack up with Roberson because he thought it would be a positive influence. Obviously, it didn't work out. Meanwhile, I wonder if the father is culpable in a crime for aiding child molestation.

Sad story.
