The news tells its share of tragedies, but some capture our attention more than others. On Sunday, the Borden family of Lititz, Pennsylvania, was thrust into the national spotlight. According to news reports, early that morning, 14-year-old Kara Beth Borden came home well past her curfew with David Ludwig, the 18-year-old boyfriend she'd been forbidden to see. It's unclear what transpired at this point, but by daybreak, Borden's parents had been shot to death and the teens had disappeared.
Sunday afternoon, we saw searches for "kara beth borden" surge as the story broke. Searches on local Pennsylvania news sources NBC10 (+334%) and WGAL (+323%) also jumped, and "amber alert" spiked 768%.
Searches gained momentum on Monday, when Ludwig and Borden were apprehended in Belleville, Indiana. They were more than 600 miles from the scene of the crime, pursued in a high-speed chase that ended when Ludwig lost control of the car he was driving, smashing it into a tree. No one was injured, and both youths were returned to Pennsylvania. Searches for "kara borden" were up 4980%, but searches on "david ludwig" spiked a whopping 9598%.
Searchers also looked for insight into the relationship between Borden and Ludwig after news stories reported that both teens had kept blogs. A wave of searches for "david ludwig blog" and "david ludwig website" were topped by breakout searches for "kara borden blog" and "kara borden website."

He's a Taurus. Mars is retrogade in Taurus at the moment. What a freaky story. I thought it could be interesting to do his chart and have a look at the transits.
