Jan 7, 2011–Julenne and David Goetcheus talk about the murder of their sons, Sean and Donny, which occurred 13 years ago Sunday.On the 14th anniversary of their sons’ brutal slayings, David and Julenne Goetcheus say their lives were divided by the crime.
“My life and our lives are clearly defined to before and after,” David said. “It was like the days of innocence and the days of pain.”
On Jan. 9, 1997, someone shot Sean and Donny Goetcheus execution-style in their Rosemont Drive home.
Each year, David and Julenne painfully relive the traumas so that perhaps someone, somewhere, will bring new information to police.
“Every year we’ve done this, and every year you’ve got to dredge this stuff back up again, and it never gets any easier. It just does not get any easier,” Julenne said.
