Inmate Tattooed With Child Victim's Name

Thursday, September 28, 2006

An inmate serving a life term for molesting and killing a 10-year-old girl named Katie somehow got "Katie's Revenge" tattooed across his forehead, and prison authorities were trying to determine how it happened.

The Indiana Department of Correction placed Anthony Ray Stockelman, 39, in protective custody away from the general inmate population last weekend after authorities discovered the tattoo, said Rich Larsen, a spokesman for the Wabash Valley Correctional Facility.

Stockelman was sentenced to life in prison after pleading guilty to abducting, molesting and killing Katlyn "Katie" Collman. Katie was missing for five days before her body was found Jan. 30, 2005, in a creek about 15 miles from her home in the southern Indiana town of Crothersville.

I saw this story on another forum I visit. I didn't really know what to say. I think it was meant as a punishment to him from the inmates, but I don't think they meant to offend people for putting Katie's name on his forehead. I guess it makes some mad though. That's understandable. I'm not quite sure how I feel about it.
