Cleveland Suburb Scene of Vicious Murder-Shoe Shine

Shaker Heights, a small suburb of Cleveland, is in shock this week after a brutal murder-shoe shine that has left one woman dead and her husband looking like a million bucks.

Gary Thorn, 35, is accused of shooting his wife Mallory to death with a .9mm pistol on Sunday, then driving to the local shopping mall and having his black leather shoes shined at a second-floor kiosk. He faces 30 years to life in prison.

“I just can’t understand it,” says neighbor Christine Pon. “They seemed like such a happy family. And how do you explain this to the kids, what with their mother dead and their father having shiny shoes?”

Smiley Rivers, the man who performed the shoe shine, recalls, “Man came in here happy as could be. I says, ‘Sir, what can I do for you?’ and he says, “Shine my shoes, please.’ And so that’s just what I did.”

Thorn was apprehended several hours later without incident.
