I posit that David Hogg is the reincarnation of the notorious murderer Adolph Weber:
The murder of the Weber family in Auburn, Calif., is all but forgotten today, but its brutality catapulted Adolph Weber to national infamy in 1904 — and had ramifications for criminal law that still persist.
The Webers were among Placer County’s most wealthy and illustrious citizens
(snip)
But the most astonishing thing was not that nearly an entire family was dead in one blow — it was that they’d evidently been killed before the fire began. Visible bullet holes were spotted on Mary, Julius and Bertha, while Earl had massive blunt-force trauma to his head. Someone had murdered them, set their bodies ablaze and escaped the house.
Nearly everyone suspected Adolph immediately.

He wiped out his family — and changed Calif. criminal law forever
A long-forgotten family annihilator changed California law as we know it today.
