New York State Police have charged five people with murder in the killing of a missing man who authorities said died following repeated acts of violence and torture for more than a month by multiple individuals who later discarded his body in a field.

The victim, Sam Nordquist, a 24-year-old transgender man originally from Minnesota, was reported missing on Feb. 9. Police said he arrived in New York in September and had lost contact with loved ones.

Major Kevin Sucher, commander of the state police troop that includes the Finger Lakes region, said the facts and circumstances of the case were “beyond depraved” and “by far the worst” homicide investigation the office has ever been part of.

“No human being should have to endure what Sam endured,” he said, during televised news conference. Police did not share many details of the case, noting it remained under active investigation.

    What do you mean by the killer? 5 people have been charged for his death including someone convicted of selling pornography to a minor (and 4th degree grand larceny) and Sam’s online girlfriend who he was visiting.

    I’m really only bringing this up because the way I interpreted your comment is that it’s putting Goodwin is more responsible for Sam’s death. If the accusations I’ve seen are true, probably none of them deserve to be free ever again imo.

    If all you’re doing is pointing out how big of a piece of shit Goodwin is, I agree entirely and would just like to add 2 more giant pieces of shit and I’d imagine if 3 or Out of the 5 are that shitty I’m skeptical at best of the other 2

    If there is some reason to point more of the blame at 1 individual I’d be interested to hear it
