## Resource

A Queensland man faces life in prison for the chilling murder of his neighbor, who he killed with two headshots and then dismembered to fit into a freezer. The motive? Greed—he stole $30,000 to buy a motorcycle, even faking his own disappearance by texting Thornton’s family. Found buried on the victim’s property, the gruesome discovery led to Weaver’s arrest and extradition. While in jail, he confessed to another inmate and tried to manipulate him into harming the victim’s daughter. The judge called it “cold-blooded” and “disgraceful.” Weaver won’t be eligible for parole until 2039, leaving the victim’s family to wait seven years for justice—and closure.
