Husband sentenced to four life terms for executing his three children and wife during trip to waterpark - so he could start a new life in Canada

A man who executed his wife and three children in their SUV will spend the rest of his life in prison after being found guilty of their brutal murders. Christopher Vaughn, 37, was sentenced on Tuesday to four consecutive life terms for killing his wife Kimberly, 34, and children Abigayle, 12, Cassandra, 11 and eight-year-old Blake. Each child was shot once in the chest and head while buckled into the back seat. They were killed moments after watching their mother be shot in the face. Vaughn murdered his family by the roadside in June 2007 as they drove to an Illinois water park. He had harbored fantasies of starting a new life alone in the Canadian wilderness and viewed his family as the obstacle standing in his way.
