Alice and Gerald Uden have been charged with murder they have committed over thirty years ago. They killed their ex-spouses in different situations. They are both now in their seventy’s. Alice and Gerald Uden have raised two children in Missouri. They go to church regularly and keep to themselves. Their neighbors had suspicions about the Udens before the secret came out. Allen Bishop told CNN affiliate KSPR "They were good people; we've known them for about 12 years now. They're the kind of neighbors you leaned over the fence and talked about your chickens with.” They seemed like an ordinary family. The couple is in jail and is waiting to be transferred to Wyoming, where the murders took place. Alice Uden killed her husband in late 1974 or early 1975 when he was only twenty-five years old. She was arrested on Thursday. A witness said that Alice told them that she had shot her husband in the back of his head while he was sleeping. Gerald is charged with killing his ex-wife’s two children. One was ten and the other was twelve. They were all killed in 1980. Gerald was charged on Friday. Gerald told officers that he shot his wife and her two kids with a .22-caliber rifle. The gun belonged to the ex-wife. Many people are finding it hard to believe what they did. A Bishop told KSPR "I was in disbelief. They are old people. They don't do things like that.” What he said is not relevant to the murders. They were not old more thirty years ago. They were actually in their twenty’s. Although there is a huge love for senior citizens in me, that does not excuse one of killing.
