Thanks for the post. It’s interesting to learn more about the kids and how they grew up. Juarez, I know has been in and out of jail, but I hadn’t heard anything about Mouse or Tonya. Who knows, they might be following this blog?

As I understand it, the insurance company had it repaired and sold. It would be worth something to day.

I knew 3 of Ken Rex’s kids when they lived in St. Joseph, MO in the late eighties/early nineties. Juarez was a menace. He would come to a bar called Blue’s Brew Town carrying a gun and the bar would empty out. Mouse was a good looking teenager but he had a violent streak. His girlfriend lived in my apt building and he knocked her around quite a bit. He had to have been only about 15 or 16 at the time. I also hung out with Tonya and her boyfriend Chris as they started having babies. Tonya was very sweet and loving and although I’ve lost track of her in the last 20 years, I hope she has succeeded in life. I grew up in Oregon, MO which is a small town not too far from Skidmore. We all heard the stories about Ken Rex’s rein of terror which started before my family moved to Oregon, MO in 1978 and ended with his shooting. Hate to say it but of course his family members will defend him and claim he was the best grandpa/whatever but even if he wasn’t convicted of anything, his activities are well known and well documented.

Remember how young she was when he got a hold of her. Her parents abandoned her to his clutches. There is also a bit of the Stockholm Syndrome, where the captive begins to identify with captor, liked Patty Hearst.

I believe that Ken McLeroy got what he deserved. I don’t understand why Trena would stand up for a man who had raped her, beat her, and burned down her own parents house?

They’re scattered about. Some in Nodaway County, some in southwestern Missouri, and others in faraway places like Pennsylvania.

Did you know him personally, or just hear this about him? Your take on him is a common one, although he has his defenders.
