Christian Allen Brewer, 27, was one of three people found shot to death in a Cullom, Illinois home on December 25, 2019. His mother, Shirley A. Baty Brewer, 48, and their neighbor Norman T. Walker, 51, also died at the scene. The deaths were treated as a triple homicide that shocked the small community.

Authorities identified Christian’s father and Shirley’s husband, 55-year-old Clifford Brewer, as the primary suspect and charged him in connection with the three killings. Prosecutors said the deaths stemmed from a deteriorating marriage and Clifford Brewer’s desire for a divorce; items including a raincoat, hat, slippers, and a blanket washed on the sanitize setting were presented by prosecutors as potential attempts to destroy evidence. The defense argued Shirley Brewer had killed the others and died during a struggle, but the jury found that account unpersuasive.

Does anyone in the Cullom area remember the Breeders or have information that could shed more light on what happened that Christmas Day?
