Some people really do not want to leave home. According to the King County Sheriff's Office Major Crimes unit, 34-year-old Matthew Ficken killed his mom and dad last week after they told him he would have to move out of the family house. What's more, the police made sure to point out in their press release, "his mother gave Matthew more than enough money to pay for his first and last month deposit on an apartment and additional expenses."

Detectives say that Ficken shot and killed his 68-year-old mother Lorraine Ficken and his 72-year-old father Robert Ficken on January 10 or 11, and then lived with their bodies until the 15th, when police attempted to enter the home on a welfare check. At that point, they say, Ficken shot and killed himself.

Lorraine, a real estate agent, and Robert, a historian, divorced 10 years ago but continued to the live in the same house, according to a report from the Seattle Times.

Robert had written several award-winning books on Washington state history and Lorraine was getting ready to retire. She bought a house across the street from her older sister in Sherwood, Oregon, last summer, and had planned to move there.
