I FEEL WHAT COBEY DONE WAS VERY WRONG. THOSE PEOPLE WERE HARMLESS. I LIVE 5 MINUTES FROM THE COUPLE'S HOME. WAS SCARY TO KNOW THAT SOMETHING THIS AWFUL CAN HAPPEN THAT CLOSE TO HOME. I BELIEVE THE SYSTEM SHOULD GIVE COBEY WHAT HE DESERVES. HE IS ALIVE AND BREATHING AND THAT IS NOT FAIR B/C THAT IS SOMETHING THAT HE TOOK AWAY FROM THOSE NICE PEOPLE. MAY GOD BE WITH HIM THROUGH HIS JOURNEY

In regards to the last entry, how would anyone here be privvy to potential "hire to kill" in Missouri? I'm assuming this is not an acquaintence of Mr. Lakemper or his family. Mr. Lakemper was a very troubled young man with a drug problem. When he is clean, he is by all accounts a law abiding and good person. Unfortunately, as life would have it, he went down a very dangerous and life altering path and took lives in the process. It is a shame, and he should pay for his crimes, but please do not add to a story that you know nothing of.

Did you see that I'm from Sedalia Missouri? Names of the known mothers of his children, kristi a son, darcy a daughter, becca a son and trish a son so don't presume to know what that smooth talker says is the truth. You the girl that was with him when he committed these crimes? or does he just have you fooled, if it is the later then you should thank god that he is locked up, so he don,t beat the crap out of you and your loved ones been there so don,t believe a murder!!!

i suppose i see your view. i don't the former girlfriends/wives, but i do know the information i have was from cobey himself and family. like i said previously - i KNOW what he was capable of and murder was obviously one of those things. i know of turbulent relationship that involved violence - i do not condone, nor do i make light of any of this. i feel terrible for those victimized and most importantly for the children. i know that he is still a human who has family and that they care very much for him. i am not a girlfriend, nor am i persuaded to believe that cobey did nothing wrong. i simply try to keep in mind that he messed up, like alot of us, and he and his family are paying a tremendous price for his actions. i pray every day that he understands his actions put him where he is and that he will receive mercy for those same actions, for the sake of his family.

I am also from Sedalia and agree 100% with mrs mtr. Knowing Cobey personally, and the women and children involved...i thank God every day he is behind bars so can no longer harm people and manipulate the mothers of his children. Yes, as a sober man he was a good man, but how often was he sober? ANd the story about wanting to kill a former ex is absolutely true.

No one will ever know what it is like to have loved this man but the 3 of us and his family,we as the mothers of his children are left to explain where there daddy is. I hope as much as it upsets me that the other moms tell to their kids like I do that he could be a good man, yet he choose to chase ghost and wreack the good he found in many ladies before this he chose yes i said chose veng against us mothers of his kids many times denieying the very kids he threating and held a hold over our heads with,it blows me away the choices he made, did I want this for him<NO , am I glad our kids are safe, HELL YES, as mothers we do the best with the choiece we made! Would I choose a different father for our son NO !!! then he wouldn't be my son whow is awesome just like the other kids!! The only thing I wish is that the cops would of helped us more!! Ladies remember his mother was just as much a victim as we were and still are as we tell our kids how much he in his own way lovs them. AND394I still after this post agree with you and mrs mtr, we were there and knoe=w the truth he wanted to kill what he couln't have may GOD have merciey on his soul where he had none

Wow! This is so sad. All these women must have liked this man at one point to have beared his children. I do not know most of these women and don't pretend to know what they must be going through to have to explain this to these children. I do know this mans family and know this had caused them lots of pain. Being a mother myself there is nothing in the world my babies could do to make me love them any less then I did the moment I held them in my arms. Doesn't mean I will always agree with what they do. So with this being said I wish nothing but the best for those involed. Love those babies and give them what they need to be the best people they can be.

The women involved do not need to hear negative comments from anyone. There are so many people hurt from this man, not only the mothers of his children but his family, these are the people who know how it felt to love him. There are innocent kids out there who need unconditional love. I pray that they are not given any hell in their lives due to the fact of who their father is. I think they are all young enough (I think, since he is not old), to surely not know the truth at a young age. Everyone needs to give these girls a break, and let them move on with their lives and raise these babies the best they can.

I was his best friend for 12 years. I remember the Cobey who always spelled his name "C.O.B.E.Y," because everyone new he met called him Colbey. I remember the Cobey who loved soccer and baseball. The Cobey who loved hunting and fishing. The Cobey who (I won't swear to it) but I seem to recall making honor roll at Striped College, or perhaps Whittier. The Cobey in Eastlands and tight rolled jeans (lol). I saw the terror in his eyes, and the bruises and marks after he got whipped. I saw the holes in the wall from his dad's fists after he went on another MD 20/20 bender. The sheriff's deputies pulling up and leaving 3-4-5 times. I've seen and heard things, in the house he grew up in, that remind me how lucky some of us are. He knew right from wrong. Maybe, just maybe, the system failed him. In and out of juvenile hall. Physically abusive towards his mom, who had to call the police on him as an adolescent. The cycle was continuing, yet no one stepped in? You who choose to judge him, remember this, the cycle of violence and addiction will continue until people courageous enough step in and intercede. I hope his children and their mothers have the family, emotional, and financial support to see that this tragedy doesn't fall upon them in the future. I pray for him, his victims, his family, and those effected by his actions. He wasn't always like this. Maybe, just maybe we could have done more.

I typically would not post on something like this, but after reading some of these comments I feel like I should. Not from Sedville, its nice that you post this...that there was more to him than what the public heard. He wasnt always a horrible person. I did not know him for a long time, but I met him a few years before everything happened. I worked with him, we became friends. We spent a lot of time just hanging out, he had a little boy that was about 3 at the time, whom he saw on a regular basis. And I can say, he was a good dad. He dated a few women, all of whom he treated just fine. Then I watched him fall hopelessly in love with a woman, who is the mother of his youngest son. After reading these comments, it makes the mothers come out to be white trash, uneducated ladies. Perhaps some are, as I wasnt even aware that there were 4..I only know of 2. I know he and the mother of the kid that was 3 at the time (7 or 8 now), they had some issues, but never enough to keep that little boy from seeing his dad. I never knew her, other than by seeing her. But I was lucky enough to know the most recent ex, and still know her and their son. No one should worry about how she is raising that kid, she is a smart, beautiful, educated, and successful woman who comes from a family who would do anything for her or their son. ANd let me tell you, Cobey is missing out on something real special by not knowing him. Jexnme, you made a comment about hoping the moms arent telling the kids the truth. Good lord, any mother that would tell their kid the complete truth about this would not be a good mom. Some things should not be known by a young child. I felt I should post here, not to defend Cobey, but to defend the fact that he wasnt always evil. I have some great memories with him, he was fun to hang out with, and he was a good friend to me. No one knows what happened to truely set him off...no one has a clue. He was trying so hard to make a good life, and unfortunately, things just did not go his way.

all3 of us, you are right, some things should not be known by a young child and I hope these kids are being emotionally protected. I think it is nice that people want to comment about the good in this man. He has a family that still loves him dearly, nothing will ever change that. I believe he is missing out on knowing ALL of his children, and I am sure that is something he thinks about daily. He chose to commit the crimes, and he will have to live with knowing that he will never, ever know his children, and for that, I think he will be miserable for the rest of his life.
