| There is no relationship that lasts longer in this world than the relationship of siblings. God's gift of best friends to us in life. Meet Lauren Belius and her twin sister Erica. Beautiful baby girls, aren't they? |
 |
| The girls were inseparable, Lauren being the brave 'older' sister, and Erica being the shy little sister. |
 |
| Older brother Nolan didn't just have to share the spotlight with one cute little sister, but two! These three joined our Taekwondo studio last spring. Busy little kids that we all got a kick out of watching as they learned their counters, kicks and kata's. |
 |
| Lauren and Erica- blessings beyond words, beautiful memories made of first birthdays, milestones, holiday mornings and their sweet personalities. |
 |
| Until one horrific morning in July of 2011. |
 |
| David Trebilcock stabbed Lauren to death in her own bed as her twin sat inches from her in the very same bed, horrified and screaming for help. David had been plotting her murder, going as far as to lock the family dog in the garage and barricade the bedroom door with a dresser before approaching these amazing girls, naked- to fulfill his plan of killing a child. |
 |
| By God's grace, Lauren and Erica's mom was able to break into the room and attacked David, incapacitating him so she could get her girls out of his evil clutches. Lauren succumbed to her injuries, tragically the little girl with the big grin left her family that day and went to Heaven where she would feel no pain, have no fear, and never be harmed again. |
 |
| Now a little sister who was shy and dependent on her older, brave sister would be left to navigate the world alone. Her twin, her other half, torn from her right in front of her, torn from us all. |
 |
| David Trebilcock admitted to murdering Lauren
Belius. He did not take the stand in his own defense, instead pleaded not guilty
by defense of insanity. He then requested a bench trial instead of a jury of his
peers and last week was found NOT GUILTY of killing Lauren.
Our community has been
devastated by the murder of this sweet girl, a family broken forever, and a mom
has been left to look over her shoulder the rest of her life for a man who made
statements that make us all concerned that her other children may be in grave
danger when he is released. This man had the foresight to lock a family dog away
from the girls it would have fought to protect. He shoved a dresser in front of
a door that would have allowed these girls to escape. This man is not an insane
man, he's a cold, calculating murderer who just worked our system and has been
freed of all charges by Judge Dwyer of Oneida County.
Our laws need to be
changed!
There should be NO plea of
insanity if you murder a child, and there certainly should be no bench trial
demanded by the murderer!
David Trebilcock can be out in
the world amongst you and me in 12 months!! A man who admitted he had
intercourse with a 12 year old child. A man who admitted to having drug problems
in the past. A man who hid his past from others and left other states when he
knew he was in trouble. The very same man who murdered Lauren in cold blood.

Allison, Lauren's Mom is asking
for help in spreading the word of this injustice. PLEASE, I am asking all of my
readers to help me spread the word! Repost this on your own blog. Make every
community aware of what our laws really do. Help us gain national exposure to
get the ball rolling and make it so David Trebilcock and other child killers can
not get away with this!
