On December 20, 1974, Arnold Zeleznik, age 9, was left momentarily in the hallway of a motel. Arnold's family had stopped there while on their way to a holiday in Central America. That brief instant was to cost Arnold his life, for in the room across from where he waited for his father was Vernal Walford, who was reading his Bible and receiving instructions from God that he should kill a child.

Arnold happened to be at the wrong place at the wrong time. Vernal slit Arnold's throat just as the father returned to retrieve the child. Vernal was apprehended almost immediately, but it was clear to everyone that he would be incapable of standing trial, for even though his actions were those of someone who knew he had committed a crime (he ran from the scene, hid the murder weapon, and tried to escape from the police), his behavior was bizarre and frightening even to his jailors. He would rant, bare his teeth, scream and act totally demented. In fact, one eminent psychiatrist, when asked about Vernal's condition, thought carefully, then replied that Vernal was "the craziest man he had ever seen."
