On April 23, 2006, Jeremy Steinke of Medicine Hat, Alberta, age 23 along with his 12-year-old girlfriend, murdered the girl's family after they forbade them from seeing each other.

Jeremy Steinke described himself as a “300-year-old werewolf,” who liked the taste of blood and wore a small vial of blood around his neck. He also had an account on a site called VampireFreaks, and it is there that it is believed he met the young 12-year-old girl. (Who can’t be named in Canadian publications because she was a minor at the time)

As can be imagined, the 12-year-old girl's family had an issue with a 23-year-old man dating their 12-year-old. They said that they can’t see each other anymore, and that didn’t sit well with the 300-year-old werewolf, Jeremy.

On April 26, 2006, Jeremy and his girlfriend watched the movie “Natural Born Killers,” which is about a couple that goes on a violent killing spree. Drinking a 24 pack of beer, a bottle of “Vampire” red wine, and doing a few lines of cocaine, “Natural Born Killers” gave Jeremy the confidence to do something about the girl’s family.
