Freep: Tucker Cipriano Planned to Kill His Family

The Free Press reports Tucker Cipriano talked for weeks about killing his family and robbing them for drug money. He even contemplated weighing their bodies down with barrels and dumping them in the Detroit River.

Cipriano and two other men made a "trial run" to the family's Farmington Hills home before the murder,  breaking into the garage as the family slept and stealing  a credit card that belonged to Cipriano's father, according to police reports.

Cipriano used the card to buy Spice -- synthetic marijuana -- and smoked it, reports say. Later that night, desperate for more money, he told a friend he needed to smoke even more Spice so he didn't have second thoughts about killing his family, the records say.
