Mark Valera

The hatred he felt toward his father grew and he took it out by murdering two men, David O'Hearn and Frank Arkell. Join Mike and Gibby as they head to Wollongong, Australia to talk about teenage murderer Mark Valera. Valera later told police that he believed both O'Hearn and Arkell were homosexuals and pedophiles and he was intent on stopping them from ever hurting anyone again.
