Quadruple murder suspect tortured young girl, showed no remorse for killings, Sheriff Grady Judd say

A chance encounter with a former Marine obsessed with delusions of child sex trafficking ultimately led to the massacre of four members of a Lakeland family, including a mother holding her baby boy, Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd said.

Sheriff Judd said Bryan Riley confessed to murdering the family and told detectives he tortured the 11-year-old girl before counting down from three and shooting her multiple times, believing he had killed her as well.
