MARYVILLE, Ill. AP – Terry J. Sedlacek was called a quiet teen who washed dishes and helped prepare food at his family’s restaurant. After a hospitalization during which he almost died, he became known for odd behavior, such as making barking noises. His body would sometimes jerk.
Verna Giley, a former cook at the Key Galaxy Restaurant in Alhambra, said Sedlacek never was threatening – nothing like the man prosecutors charged Monday with gunning down a Baptist pastor in the middle of his Sunday sermon and then stabbing two congregants.
