So, the other day I was reading some news online, and I stumbled upon this story about the Cormier twins. These guys, William and Chris, apparently had a pretty rough life, always moving around, never having much money. But that’s not even the crazy part.
I started digging a bit more about it. I found out they were involved in some shady stuff back in 2012. Apparently, they were mixed up in the death of this journalist guy from Pensacola, a former newspaper reporter named Dugas. I read that one of the twins, Christopher, pleaded no contest to being an accessory to murder. That’s heavy, right?
So I kept searching about this. I got more details. The police charged both of them, Christopher and his twin brother William, with murder. They were 31 at the time. What really got me was this detail: after everything happened, they went to Walmart and bought a big plastic container, supposedly for the victim’s body. Can you believe that? It’s like something out of a movie.

Then, out of nowhere, I came across another Robert Cormier, who turned out to be a writer, not related to the twins at all. This guy, who passed away in 2000, wrote some pretty dark and intense novels. He said he wrote about young people, but not necessarily for them. And yet, most of his readers were young adults. People found his books complex and hard-hitting. I haven’t read any of his stuff, but now I’m kind of curious.
- First, I was just browsing online and found the news about the Cormier twins.
- Then, I searched for more information about their background and the incident in 2012.
- Next, I looked up the charges and found out about Christopher’s plea.
- After that, I found the detail about the Walmart purchase, which was shocking.
- Finally, I stumbled upon Robert Cormier the writer and learned about his work.
My Steps of Searching:
It’s crazy how one search can lead you down such different paths, right? From a real-life crime story to the works of a dark and pessimistic author. The internet is a wild place, man.
