Thanksgiving weekend in Muskegon, Michigan, ended in a family massacre on November 29, 1998. Fifty-year-old fifth-grade teacher Stephen Privacky was one of five people killed inside the Privacky split-level home after an argument between his 18-year-old son, Seth, and family members escalated into deadly violence.

When Stephen returned home with his 78-year-old father, John Privacky, both men were ambushed and fatally shot. Seth then shot his 49-year-old mother, Linda, after she exited the shower. April Boss, Jedediah’s 19-year-old girlfriend, was killed after arriving and witnessing the scene. Seth later called an 18-year-old friend, Steven Wallace, to help move the bodies and stage a robbery; Wallace was apprehended nearby and Seth was found about 13 hours later hiding in a barn.

Seth Privacky confessed, pleaded no contest to five counts of murder, and was sentenced to life without parole; Wallace faced accessory charges. Does anyone have details about the family’s life in Muskegon or recall that night?
