been raised to adult court, said in an interview with police. Wiebe told police he walked into his stepmother’s room, where she was sleeping alone, and began to choke her when she woke up and asked what was wrong. Wiebe’s father was away on business, and his stepsister was asleep in the basement. “She was starting to pass out... I wanted to stop but I knew she was going to die anyways. I kept on telling her I was sorry. I didn’t know what I was doing,” said Wiebe. He said he retreated to the kitchen, grabbed a small knife and then returned upstairs where he slashed Moizer’s throat.
    Wiebe told police he then grabbed his father’s rifle, which he used to shoot out the smoke detector in the home. He then wrote a letter to loved ones explaining his actions before dousing his stepmother’s bed and bedroom with gasoline and setting it on fire. “I didn’t want anybody to see her like that. I was just so disgusted,” he said. Wiebe claimed he then cut the phone lines in the house, and woke his stepsister to get her out of the burning home. Wiebe said he confessed to killing their mother as he drove his stepsister to their grandmother’s house in his father’s truck. He said he apologized for what he’d done and told the young girl he loved her, for the first time in his life. “He said... that God loved me and that he was always going to take care of me,” Cherylynn Moizer told police.
    Wiebe called his biological mother from a gas station pay phone and confessed to his sins. The transcript of his phone call was tendered in court: “Hi Mom, it’s Joey. I’ve done something terrible. I have to turn myself into the police. Um, I just want to tell you that I’m ex... I’m sorry for what I did to hurt you guys. I love you all. I’ve got to turn myself in. Goodbye,” he told his mother. Wiebe then flagged down a police officer and confessed. During a lengthy period of questioning, investigators repeatedly asked him why he’d done it. His only explanation was that “some evil forces were at work there.”
    Wiebe told police how he’d become a “Nazi” during his Grade 10 year at Niverville Collegiate, including shaving his head, and had begun to read up on Satanism. His stepsister said he often began speaking German in their home and told her he’d “marry her off to a German soldier” when he would “be able to get the power to be ruler of the world, like Hitler.” She said he also spoke of hatred for Jews and said he would “do like Hitler did and kill them all.”
    Police later searched his locker at the school and found dozens of disturbing poems and writings he’d made, along with a series of lists which include references to the Mafia and mob terms. His principal, Howard Witty, told police he’d been concerned about Wiebe’s conduct in school and had spoken with his father and stepmother, who shrugged it off by saying “they were just glad he was interested in something.”
    â€œHe was a teenaged boy we were sometimes trying to figure out. He would turn in an essay to a teacher and it would be on whatever—farming. And right in the middle of it would be an outline or drawing of a Ku Klux Klan hood or hooded person,” said Witty in a statement tendered by lawyers in the case. Witty said he took away Wiebe’s computer privileges and forced him to remove offensive material from his locker, including posters he’d drawn of people with swords stuck in their heads and blood dripping down.
    Wiebe, who said he only wanted to “belong to something,” told police he’d put his Nazi beliefs behind him once he reached Grade 11 but admitted to having thoughts of killing someone only weeks before he carried out the act. By then, he was regularly attending church on Sundays and briefly thought about speaking to his pastor about his problems but changed
