The Quiet Ones: The Staudte Family Murders

Lao Tzu wrote: If you wish to awaken all of humanity, then
awaken all of yourself. If you wish to eliminate the suffering in
the world, then eliminate all that is dark and negative in
yourself. Truly, the greatest gift you have to give is that of your
own self-transformation. This inspirational quote was posted on
April 30th, 2013 on the Facebook page of Diane Staudte, a woman who
many in her community may have considered an inspiration herself. A
talented musician, a trained cardiac nurse, a mother of four and an
essential member of the Redeemer Lutheran Church. And she was an
even greater inspiration if you considered that in the past year,
she had lost not only her husband, but her 26 year old son to
sudden death. It makes sense, then, that Diane would be thinking
about self-transformation right then. Making a new life out of the
ashes of the old one. But no one could have realized how
drastically she wanted to transform her life, and how far she would
go to do it.
