From Kid to Killer: Colt Lundy's Journey

In a NewsChannel 15 interview Colt Lundy, 19, talks about how he's trying to better himself in prison.

[@iamhewhospeaks]

Man he actually seemed really intelligent and collected. He reminds me of my own transformation behind bars where i cracked open my first college textbook as well. I had two more rodeos before i finally closed a twelve year sentence but i never gave up on myself. graduated, overcame a drug addiction, and now, i'm working hard on owning a home and setting up a nest egg for a retirement twenty years in the future. good luck kid.

He also owes a ton of people money because he is ripping people off with his "home renovation" business.

So the problem in him is corrected and once he's paid his debt to society it should be over, right? He bit the bullet and cut his loses. why then aren't there laws to protect against felon discrimination? I think the rate of recidivism would lower if felons had improved employment opportunities, even if only screened and psychologist approved felons were afforded the protection. Of course, anyone of us can find ourselves working an overnight job at Walmart. But that type of job is unfulfilling in the long run. Also, We don't have the same social structure as most western nations do. They can be discriminated against, get a job at Walmart and be ok. Americans can't, we have to worry about healthcare, an extremely expensive rental system etc. So we kind of rely on the prospect of someday getting a job that offers medical or pays enough to buy it. Walmart type jobs rarely give benefits and even if they do, there's still the matter of affording rent and everything else that's needed for a minimal standard of living. If a study was performed on a prison system to see if improved employment prospects lowered recidivism, and it yielded positive results then it would be a moral and ethical matter for society to address properly, because it would clearly show that recidivism is beyond an individual's control. Punishing people for stuff that's not their fault is wrong, regardless of a person's past.

I followed this story when it happened and have always thought Colt was, for the most part a good kid. I am happy that the transition from the juvenile prison to the adult one seems to have been good for him. I am still very mindful however that he not only murdered his stepfather but he involved his friends as well. He has ruined a lot of lives and this must always be considered when decisions are made. 25 years is a long time, so all in all the American Judicial System has got this one Spot on. Good luck Colt, my deepest condolences and respect to the people who will forever be damaged by his hand.

Man, when I first watched this story, I couldn't believe that two 12 year olds, and a 15 year old could do something like that, but after watching this, I really hope dude gets a second chance. People make terrible decisions sometimes, mistakes happen, and out of anybody, this guy seems to know that he's done wrong, and has a good idea of what he needs to do to make his situation a better one. Mad respect to you man. Seriously, because that kind of thing happens rarely. Also, watching the story about the two 10 year olds brutally killing a 2 year old in the UK, made me think that this kids crime may not have been that bad after all. If a grown ass man is beating on you, and your mom, do what you gotta do. It all depends on the reason, but the only person that'll ever know why he made that decision, is him.

That's the thing... a young teenager changes sooo much on a short period of time. After some years they are not the same anymore, when you become adult even your brain isn't the same anymore.

He committed an adult crime and should pay the consequences; it is forgivable; but forgiveness does not negate the penalty.

[@2horses4U]

Sure, he's a murderer. I dont deny that, it is a terrible, terrible crime that impacts many lives and sure, even a young guy who commits murder needs to undergo a punnishment. But I dont believe putting a person in jail and throw away the key is such a great solution. Maybe you can start with strict gun laws, it makes murdering less easy. When canada and australia made their gun laws more strict, the numbers went down immediatly with 30 to 65%. In the UK, police dont even wear guns, can you imagine that? In my country there are very strict gun laws and it pays, not once there was a school shooting, not once! I know its a difficult issue, but it does work, the statistics dont lie.

[@asialynn5536]

I'm familiar with this case and I feel he has a good chance on making it when he gets out. He acted on an emotion that he has never revealed why he did what he did but I am sure something drove him to do it. The guns should have never been left unlocked and loaded and in his reach. He was young and impulsive. I feel for his victims family and their loss. Hopefully someday they have closure and he is able to tell them the real reason he acted on this impulse. I've watched many documentaries on child killers and he's very different than the others. He isn't mentally disturbed or an angry person so it only makes sense that he did it for a particular reason. I know from another interview when he was younger he said several times that there were things going on that no one else knew about so I think that's a clue to why it happened but it's unfortunate that he couldn't have brought it to the attention of a counselor at school or someone outside the house things could have been so different for him but I have a feeling him and his mother were being abused so if he left he knew she would be left there to deal on her own. Anyway I see a lot of potential in him and I hope he makes it in life. He's saying prison was a good thing for him and I'm sure that's his way of reassuring himself that he's in a good spot for now and is a coping mechanism which is a good sign that he will be able to adapt to the free world when he gets out.

[@blvckdoll]

Joseph Atnip guess he felt like if he didn’t kill his father, the abuse would’ve continued. You’d be surprised but some child service people and cops are dumb and ignore the issue and send the kids right back to their parents. I wish I could find the links of when that actually happened to a child that was tortured to death, and send em to you...

[@alishadawn6636]

Joseph Atnip maybe his mother told him 2 do it. u know she plays a big part here

[@arussell391]

The kid doesnt have to work for someone else. I know a few people who've done prison time, got their education in there, got out and went on to open their own successful businesses.

[@joebananas415]

Institutionalized in 4 years

[@renee3461]

That PLUS program at the prison sounds like such a good idea

[@gibrankg656]

I'm loving the sympathizers in the comments, you'd be singing a different tune if roles were reversed.

[@kenbrunet6120]

Totally agree Gibran. greenMitsi. There's nothing anywhere that says he was molesting him. Colt has never accused him of anything sexual.. at all. You're being a troll

[@1greenMitsi]

so anyone that points out an old overweight white male with facial hair is most probably a paedo is a troll? I think the statistics are on my side; seriously what do you think colt's silence is all about?

[@kenbrunet6120]

I really hope there's more to your logic then that. I actually went searching for the reasons he hated his stepfather before i made that comment. If you did too, and found allegations of sexual abuse then that's what you should have lead with. I found 2 interviews where he mentions all the reasons he hated him. Not once does he mention anything about being molested. By your court of public opinion logic, every step parent who doesn't get along with their step child is molesting them because they're "being silent" and statistics are on your side...

[@1greenMitsi]

how many kids have ever shot a parent for being late to pick them up from soccer practice? - how many have shot a parent because they were grounded? because they didnt get the flavor they wanted from baskin robbins? stop looking for answers elsewhere and use your head, read between the lines. This is a 15 yr old kid shooting a person in cold blood, its for no random reason that he did it without a motive which he then refuses to disclose.

[@kenbrunet6120]

Exactly!! How many kids have ever shot anyone. So you don't get to blame the parent automatically. It's very possible that he is just that messed up that he shot him out of hate. He's not the first psycho kid to have a violent reaction. There have been other murderous kids. Did you even read why he hated his stepdad?? it wasn't cause he said no for a treat or some other lame thing. He hated the guy for a long time. even Told his mom he'd do something if she didn't stop him. Nothing about any sexual deviance. Anywhere. YOU don't get to decide what his reasons were based on conjecture and imagination.

[@verlindaallen6299]

PROUD of him!!!!

[@LubovGarmashova42]

Poor guy it's so sad what he went through growin' up but glad to hear his ok wish him the best in life.

[@butitssummerma6436]

Любовь Павлова what did he go through? Not enough to murder someone that's for sure!!

[@butitssummerma6436]

Kentucky Wildcat tell em bro. tell em

[@iluvhou]

butitssummerma you were there next to him living his life? Do tell. I guess u LOVED living w/ his drunk mother & stepfather. He is IN PRISON paying his debt when he should've gone to a juvenile facility. He's not Ted Bundy! How did u pay for your horrible mistakes so far in life? Oh, you haven't paid yet?

[@butitssummerma6436]

i luv hou are you saying I don't know what it's like? I'll tell you what I was dished out some totally inappropriate beatings by drunk parents. I never killed them. My dad is 6ft7 and his belt is long. Can't tell you how many times other parents and teachers inquired about bruises. Whip marks. Puffy eyes. Never slept I had access to guns too but I never killed them. I got older and I fought back but I never killed them

[@butitssummerma6436]

i luv hou he did go to juvenile facility and now he's in an adult prison where he will stay bc at 15 you know the consequences of killing someone. Hence why I didn't murder my parents.

[@bmillerdrums]

Holy shit if they ever make a movie about this situation they have to cast Paul Dano as Colt Lundy. The resemblance is uncanny here especially the first 15 seconds while walking.

[@anthonymullen6300]

He was a kid and trialed as an adult. US justice system sucks.

[@desiderata333]

God bless him.

[@Cantetinza17]

Well I'm glad he has learned. I hope he gets out and does good in the world. Good luck to him.

[@aliceleisidoleisido979]

i love him lol he seem to be a change man now

[@AllOutOfEnemies1]

This kid deserves another shot at some point. He is a perfect example of someone learning from their actions.

[@missymason3850]

Continue education in prison. Continue education outside prison. It all helps. Not sure how the outside world, its reality check.

[@janberengellgabrieltanudra9291]

He is out and now a better person.

[@betoest93]

But what led the kid to killing his step father. He probably just had enough can't really blame him if he was constantly going through depression from someone who is supposed to be close to you. You can only stir the pot for so long .

[@amandapiano9603]

His step father was Really abusive 😭😭

[@pamelaraney4654]

I wonder if his stepfather started turning his aggressive abuse into a sexual assault. That's how you break a child's spirit and aggressive alcoholics live for it.

[@millicentbystander5206]

None of you people have any evidence whatsoever for the hateful slurs you are throwing around! Kids have killed their parents for all kinds of reasons, like they wanted their money, or they wanted the house, or they wanted to do whatever they wanted without parents telling them what to do.

[@christrocks7695]

Millicent Bystander How many at this age? And he had two 12 year olds. Something was way off and none of the parents caught it.

[@millicentbystander5206]

Only HIM, you're only speculating, you're saying, "The step-dad was doing something terrible to them because they never would have killed him otherwise." But kids as young as these HAVE killed without much or ANY provocation. What about the two 10-year-olds who killed a toddler in the UK? What about the young teenage boys who killed their grandmother with an axe to steal her money (which they spent on pizza and pot)? Look, maybe the step-dad WAS abusing them, but without any evidence at all, it's totally wrong to jump to that conclusion.

[@VluggeJapie22]

His accomplice was only 12 at the time. He was released early and put on house arrest.

[@Between_the_numbers]

SMH they painting this kid as a Saint! What about the Victim?? Buddy still dead and gone! you got to do the time big fella!

[@hicmad]

He's out, too bad loser.

[@paulwall7630]

He was a victim too, the guy beat him all the time

[@Objection_23and1]

I have watched another documentary on him and he was so little! I think it was right when he got in so he was 15, it’s very interesting, if your interested in the documentary reply to this and I will send you the link

[@TXpunkin]

I would love to see it 😍

[@kenbrown2084]

He had a seriously bad Step Dad.The Kid felt trapped..Wrong? Right?Havent walked in his shoes.

[@asdalskdf]

Questions if he’d be in prison or not, you know that it’s changed him being there fore years, he doesn’t know anything else but prison and it’s become his reality, that’s insane

[@joseguzman1104]

IF THAT WAS MY DAD I WILL WAIT FOR HIS RELEASE DATE AND EMPTY CLIP ON HIM.

[@lalalalo112]

he sounds so calm.

[@pollywoodindustry5230]

He I order than me only three years so that means I was 11 when he committed the crime and at the same time facing the Same situation he was facing under a stepperson I can't even add fad on it but trust me he wouldn't have turned out in prison.In 2018 God took away that man and I just can't be happy or sad at the same time because he was my little siblings dad and seeing them grow without a dad it breaks my heart but at the same time alot of things changed he caused my sister to become selfmute and now we are breaking that every time I thought my mom would die as she also drunk alcohol like water but thankfully she's still alive. colt takeheart God loves you and I love you too.

[@segoviald9070]

Nobody is perfect in this world everybody deserve a second chance

[@Phaminator525]

remember this guy took a life, the person he killed had no second chance.

[@annettecuke7523]

His second chance is after he pays his time.

[@herrfuhrertrump1407]

Tell that to the guy who has maggots feasting on him, because he put him 6 feet under. There isn’t a snowball’s chance in hell of him having a “second chance.”

[@lauraandrade9905]

you wouldn be saying that if he had taken your moms life instead.

[@shawndinterman2219]

Is the news anchor lady the same lady that's been making documentaries about his progress through the years? In 2019 he was released and the doc. Says he's doing great being a personal trainer

[@daddyndaughter6106]

he took a twelve year old with him he is manipulative, you can hear it in his voice

[@jeremythomas976]

Yeah, he's gonna end up back in there after he gets released. Dude still has a lot of demons that prison isn't gonna help him work through.

[@MrBloodred12]

The 12 year old pulled a trigger too. It wasn’t manipulative

[@MrPlatinumfan]

wow. You have the remarkable gift of just "knowing things", don't you. Can you teach me how to know EVERYTHING and never be wrong about anything ever??

[@jackgarcia4950]

He’s really good at telling you things you know you like to hear, manipulatively, instead of saying what he’s actually thinking.

[@selrandolph]

Wtf are y’all talking ab? If he was actually still pure evil, he wouldn’t be able to get a job in prison, or do stuff for college

[@dontreadmyname6647]

Hope he is doing great

[@kosisanchez6706]

hes institutionalized

[@angelikaa259]

Kosi Sanchez Nope, he is not.

[@jeremythomas976]

That's what I was thinking when watching this, Kosi lol

[@jeremythomas976]

Angelika... He was 15 when he went to prison, trust me, prison is the only life he knows anymore. When he does get released, he will find out just how institutionalized he really is and I see him winding back up in prison.

[@streetlight2089]

If you're straight when you go in prison you will come out gay all the way don't believe me then ask anyone that been in prison . Yeah he he he institutionalized

[@561lyfe]

He's not but will be

[@astridx7485]

Any updates on Colt? Is he still in prison?

[@DAB901]

May 2022 was 5 months ago. Is he out now?

[@finkaiser3994]

Rooting for this guy

[@zarakvoguezk571]

Omg pls let this kid go out, he served enough.

[@mrd9699]

Black or white no matter the color we all make some really bad mistakes

[@llhelocopterlloo6872]

Mr D He planned the murder tho. Not really a mistake just a regret.

[@ryleebrettsmommy2704]

Poor baby.. He doesn't deserve to be in prison! He was a innocent child who was abused and neglected and wanted it to stop! The system failed him

[@paulspydar]

why would a young kid choose to murder his stepfather?

[@SuelFadel]

I'm sure there's an explanation like maybe he was abusing his mother, beating her, disrespecting her

[@errolmcinnes7938]

Suel Fadel The explanation is that his step father refused him permission to take a trip out west. The kid contemplated, planned, and executed a murder. He is where he needs to be. No excuses. He killed out of greed

[@jsantana2503]

+errol mcinnes thats bullshit. He murdered his stepfather because he wanted his parents to be back together so it wouldn't be possible for them to go back together if the stepfather was there. Please inform yourself.

[@BrotherWells]

+jesus santana The police report says the boys plotted to run away and Lundy said he couldn’t until he killed his stepfather wane.com/2014/10/01/from-kid-to-killer-colt-lundy-timeline/

[@1greenMitsi]

chances are he was molested & brought up in a family with access to firearms. The parents should front up with part of that prison sentence

[@andrewivanchuk7872]

He's getting a better education than public schools

[@queendukuray4132]

His story is sad.

[@wukilla8ee]

It actually does seem like he needed prison... like it straightened him out & it was refreshing 2 see him actually trying to turn something negative into something positive

[@blissfullysinful1123]

his co-defendant is getting out why can't he get his overturned 2

[@DragonFox84]

there were 2 others with him but they were not the ones that did it...he pulled the trigger and planned it. the other two had a much shorter sentence for a far less crime. the 3rd boy was outside as a lookout and i think he just went to juv and is out now.

[@bobbywalsh7767]

actually one of the other 2 who was 12 waited and went with him and shot twice, be to was sentenced as an adult for 30 years. The third one is in some sort of protective program.

[@lindseythompson2581]

actually one waited outside and did 6 months for it. the other shot as well and ended up doing 7 years. he was only 12 and his family fought so hard they actually ended up adding a new law called "pauls law" that changed the juvenile sentencing guidelines.

[@jeremythomas976]

Probably because he manipulated the other 2 and was the brains behind the murder. That's just my guess though...

[@sandrahernandez3668]

The other one took a chance and appeal the process of being charged as an adult. The chance was that he could have gotten up to 65 years.

[@helloyall4355]

Hes out of prison. Spent 10 years and is a successful member of society.

[@alishadawn6636]

he's doing stuff to change his life theres a guy from Westside u tube had posted he had been in there 25 years never did anything while he was there now he has a wrong ful prision suit going on and he said he s going to also get his education when he can but point is 25 years that man never did crap here this young man is changing
