Christopher Snider

by Trench on July 25th, 2006

The past couple of days I’ve been talking about Christopher Snider. He’s wanted in a Houston, TX quadruple murder and was last spotted in Greenville, SC. Thanks to Mr. A we have Snider’s MySpace but it’s been shut down. However Mr. A has brought us a mirror of Snider’s MySpace. This dude has a Ted Bundy aura about him.

Suspect in 4 killings says drugs sought
In court papers, she blames alleged accomplice for the 2003 shootings in Clear Lake area

By RUTH RENDON and ALLAN TURNER
Copyright 2006 Houston Chronicle

A woman accused in the shooting deaths of four young people three years ago told police she and an accomplice went to the home in search of “dope and money.”

In a probable cause affidavit obtained Monday by the Houston Chronicle, Christine Marie Paolilla blames the shootings on Christopher Lee Snider. Both Paolilla, 20, and Snider, 21, are charged with capital murder stemming from the July 18, 2003, killings. Paolilla remains in the Harris County Jail while authorities continue to search for Snider.

The one-page court document says that while in the home, Snider “just started shooting.” Paolilla also said that while holding the gun that Snider had given her, “Snider put his hands on hers, and the gun just started going off multiple times.”

Investigators have said that the shootings were drug-related, but police Sgt. Brian Harris on Monday declined to say if any drugs or money were taken from the home.

Houston police expect to release more information on the case today.

Paolilla and Snider are accused in the slayings of Tiffany Rowell and Rachael Koloroutis, both 18; and Marcus Precella, 19, and his cousin, Adelbert Sanchez, 21.

The victims’ bodies were found in a house in the 3700 block of Millbridge in the Brook Forest subdivision.

Paolilla attended Clear Lake High School, as did Rowell, Koloroutis and Precella.

Paolilla told a Houston police officer that she and Snider went to the Rowell home the afternoon of July 18, 2003, with two guns in tow.

“Paolilla said Snider pointed one of the guns at the victims and was demanding dope and money,” the affidavit says. She also said that Snider made her take one of the guns that he had.

“Paolilla said she was told by Snider to keep the gun on Marcus Precella and to walk him around the house to find whatever dope and money that was there,” the affidavit says.

Paolilla was arrested Wednesday in San Antonio following a Crime Stoppers tip. She made her first court appearance Monday morning, where state District Judge Kent Ellis denied her bail.

In court, prosecutors said Paolilla’s husband, Stanley Justin Rott, who was with her during her arrest, told authorities that the woman had confessed the crime to him on several occasions.

Paolilla silently wept after Ellis denied bail. As she was being led in shackles back to the county jail, she paused to dab at tears.

Defense attorney Mike DeGeurin said it is “way too early” to comment on his client’s case. “She’s young and frightened and worried.”

Authorities, meanwhile, are continuing to focus on the Greenville, S.C., area for Snider.

Police believe Snider traveled to Greenville several weeks ago after meeting a 36-year-old woman on the social Web site Myspace.com. Snider, however, abruptly left the woman’s home last week and hasn’t been seen since.

Anyone with further information on Snider’s whereabouts is asked to contact the Houston Police Homicide Division at 713-308-3600 or Crime Stoppers at 713-222-TIPS.

Snider is a pathetic human being. He is a small man that enjoys killing the helpless. When confronted he runs like a scared mouse. He will never escape and will pay for what he has done.

Yes I’m sure those four people he shot thought he was very “kind and humorous” also. And the guy “he wasnt really going to shoot”, I am certain he had quite a hoot as well. It was the states fault for not sending him to jail after he held a guy up at gun point and stole his car……….. It was Christrine’s fault cause she was crazy…….It was his p/o’s fault cause she didnt call him back……it was because he didnt have insurance……he was scared…. whatever, put your crack pipe down. This little thug is going to get what he deserves and the world will be a better place for it.

chris is not a killer. he was named as a suspect because of a heroin addict psycho cunt. you people have no idea what you’re talking about. the media and the houston police department are fucking incompetent. they couldn’t find a guy a quarter mile from the address they were given to find him. you’re an idiot.

First of all, no one cares about that asshole’s life story. he was obviously fucken crazy. he is responsible for killing 4 people, destroying 4 families, and hurting a countless number of their friend’s. quit making excuses for him and placing full blame on that crazy bitch. they were both crazy and they both planned it. you have no fucken idea what the hell you talking about so shut the hell up!! By the way you sound, it is very clear that you were friends with trash like that. Secondly, there was more than 1 gun, so do not talk about things you don’t know about. and as for your comment about you “know the victims families”, i know for a fact that you are not only dumb but a complete liar. You do not know them, and you certainly have no idea what they go through. so for what ever reason you want to pretend to know them, it’s not necessary! What is bullshit, is your existence. Have fun mourning for your friend and I hope one day i can spit on his grave.

I realize you are hurt about Chris being dead. You obviously cared for him. But understand that you are arguing with and throwing slurs at the ones that still grieve for those brutally murdered by Chris AND Christine.

I agree with you that she should not be viewed as nothing less than equally culpable. They were both there. The brutality of the killings show that it took at least two people to do it. She is a killer too.

Think about those that were killed and their friends and families. It sounds like you are in pain too. As I’m sure the rest of Chris’s loved ones are. That is just another sad part of this whole thing.

Keep in mind though, Chris killed himself. The 4 in Clear Lake had no choice.

No, it’s not fun waking up one morning and your whole family is crying. I am one of Adelbert’s sister and I know what it’s like getting 1 phone call and your whole life is changed forever. Watching your family painfully mourn for 3 years, not being able to sleep at night for months because you are scared to be in your own house, not understanding what happened and why it happened. 3 YEARS I have watched my dad, mom and sisters hurt and suffer! This has consumed my life, eaten away at me, trying to figure out why. And in the end, the answer I got was that they were in the wrong place at the wrong time. Imagine the pain we feel now with that answer.
We will never know what REALLY happened July 18th, everyone that was there is dead and I believe that Christine is now going to make it look like it was all Chris for sure now. I never belived for a second that Christine was just there and he made her do it. Neither does anyone else. If he was so innocent, why didn’t he stop her or come forward later? Regardless, they were both there, took part in the crime TOGETHER and neither one were remorseful. They were both LIVING their lives. Being bipolar does not make you kill people and self medicating with pot and other drugs is not the answer either.
I saw first hand what was done to my brother, the wholes they left in his body. My brother was not a bad kid and did not deserve what was done to him, none of them did.
Forgive me if I don’t symphothize with you and feel bad for his family or his mother. Racheal, Tiffany, Adelbert and Marcus did NOT have a choice, their lives were STOLEN! Chris had a choice and as far as I’m concerned took the cowards way out.

We had never heard of this case until Christopher Snyder came to our town.I live on the outskirts of Greenville SC and we could not rest at night knowing this man could be loose in our neighborhood .Hopefully they will identify the body they found so everyone can rest easier.We will be praying for your family and the other families

How the hell do you know Chris wasn’t a killer? Were you there? I’m sick of hearing about how he was a wonderful person, kind and humorous….BULLSHIT!!!!!!!!! He was just as evil as she is, a cold blooded killer. They knew what they were going to do, they planned it and both took part in it. One of them didn’t force the other one to do anything, bullshit. Quit making excuses for him! If that’s what helps you sleep better at night, so be it. What kind of person lives his life knowing that he helped take 4 others? Does he sound like a kind and humorous person now? What kind of person are you to defend him?
What is funny, is that George Koloroutis put himself out there and let everyone know exactly how he felt and you are hiding behind a pseudonym taunting him like a COWARD. You’re a piece of shit just like Chris!

Hey Les, I’m sure I can’t begin to understand how horrible it has been for you and your family for the last three years. No one should ever have to go through what you all went through. I was a friend of Rachael’s, and I want you to know that my family and I have been praying for you guys for the past three years, and you’re still in our prayers now. Chris may have thought that killing himself would be the easy way out, but he was very wrong. He’s answering to God right now.

Well, later this month my CD, At the Back of the North Wind, is coming out, and it will be available for purchase through my website. It will include White Roses / The Song For Rachael Koloroutis. It aslo includes several other songs inspired by the incident, including Jonna McLane, which is dedicated to Crime Stoppers in honor of Rachael. The CD will be out later this month. If you go to my website and email me from there (www.JenniferGrassman.com) I can add you to my e-newsletter and keep you up-to-date that way, or you can visit http://www.MySpace.com/JenniferGrassman and download White Roses for free. You can also hear three of my other songs there, and they’ll all be on the CD when it’s released. I’ll post the lyrics there as well so you can read them.

Thanks so much for your interest in my music! I’m hoping that once the CD is out we can do some more benefit concerts for Crime Stoppers … at least to familiarize people more with the organization.

If I were you I would be glad he never tried to kill you. It seems as if you have lost sight in to what really happened that day. Four young KIDS were murdered becasue your friend needed to medicate himself so he would not be bipolar. Do you see how stupid you sound? Who are you and how can you justify what your friend did? People who live in ClearLake do not feel sorry for Chris nor Christina. There are both to blame. And have you read the news papers and police reports. There were two guns used. Two different kinds of bullets mean Two different kinds of guns. Jackass!!! You are from TEXAN you should know that. And My heart goes out to the familys that lost there loved ones. I am from clear lake. And even though i was not really close to the victums. I know Marcus and Tiffany. I use to smoke Cigarettes in Marcus’s car during lunch. And Tiffany was in some of my classes. Life will go on, your hearts will mend. But you will never forget!! I just can’t believe some of Chris’s friends are coming on here and are making themselves look like a bunch of stupid fucks. Talking as if Chris was this wonderful person. WONDERFUL PEOPLE DON”T KILL PEOPLE!!! And for his sister. JUST STOP!! YOUR BROTHER IS A FREAK!!!!!!! LOVE KD!!!!!

People who aren’t guilty don’t run from the cops.

There is no excuse for killing 4 defenseless people. Nothing is to blame, but the killers themselves. Thousands, if not millions, of people have bipolarism. You don’t see them shooting anyone up.

To me it just seems to be weak personalities. People have no control over themselves and rely on drugs to solve their problems.

Do you honestly know what it’s like to have your entire family mourning? How do you think it feels to have to call your parents and tell them your brother has been killed. And just so you know, there was more than one gun used and Chris AND Christine commited the crime. But your friend’s not a murderer right? Your friend killed my brother, Marcus, Tiffany and Rachael and you want people to feel sorry for him. I don’t think so!
