Brackley added that, at one point, McCracken asked the victim’s sister out on a date and contacted other members of the victims’ families. He also made Facebook posts around the time of his plea deal, writing, “I may look calm in my head but I’ve killed you three times lmao!!!” and, “Patience is what you have to have when there are too many witnesses.”
