Years of heartache and hard work have finally come to a close for Thomas Moore.  The guily verdict marks a celebration he wants to share with his younger brother Charles.

"I can imagine him and henry dee is probably walking around and rejoicing," he said.

The verdict does give the victims' families some closure.  But the years of loss haven't been easy for them.

"I guess the Lord was with us, cause I cried the other day," Thelma Collins, sister to victim Henry Dee, said. 

They say some they may never fully heal, but now they can at least move forward.
