Creepy: Cruel Doubt and The Romeo Killer Chris Porco

Anyone find it creepy, how close this story echos the Cruel Doubt story? Dad is killed, mother almost dies, son is named Chris and they both have last name starting with P. Just creepy. In fact when I heard this story I figured they were doing a remake of the old movie, but it is just a different story. It is creepy how similar the stories are.
