Meet 23-year-old Ryan Huppie.
Ryan Huppie claims to be a bit “mixed up,” which may very well be the truth.
Ryan Huppie didn’t have the best of childhoods, after all.
He never knew his father, for starters.
And, after being placed in an orphanage when he was four, Ryan Huppie bounced from foster family to foster family, often being physically, sexually and emotionally abused before moving to the next foster family.
When he was 13, Ryan Huppie started selling guns and dealing drugs, claiming that he often taking ecstacy and ketamine to deal with the nightmares caused by the abuse.
Three years after starting that kind of life, Ryan Huppie claims that he began to hear voices - voices that would whisper to him and tell him to do things. Ryan also claims that when he closes his eyes, he sees what looks like a lizard’s eye staring at him that gives him the strength to do the things he does.
He might have seen that lizard’s eye when he wrote a note to his next-door neighbor and slid it under her door.
Hey hot neighbour. Happy Valentine’s Day. I wrote you this note to pritty much say hi because your so hot and I wanted to flirt with a hot babe like you. My name is Damon. I’m 21 years old, I’m cute, loveable, and I’m good in bed (he he he). Just joking.
Cute note.
Ryan Huppie and five other young men had recently moved into the condo next door to this woman, and Ryan had been especially attracted to the then-29-year-old school vice principal. She wasn’t particularly interested, especially since the boys liked to stay up late, playing loud music and so on.
On the morning of the 17th of February, 2004, the guys next door were having an especially loud party that lasted until 4:30 in the morning.
Shortly after the noise died down, the woman fell asleep on her bed.
She woke up to find Ryan James Huppie in her house, standing at the foot of her bed, holding a meat cleaver in one hand and a long, serrated knife in the other.
Three days after sliding this note under his cute neighbor’s door, Ryan James Huppie had come back.
Ryan Huppie introduced himself by holding the knife to the woman’s throat and telling her:
I’m here to rape you and I’m here to kill you.
Ryan Huppie also explained to the woman that he had made a $10,000 bet with his roommates, and that if he didn’t kill her, they would kill him.
Trained to deal with troubled youths, the woman tried to reason with Ryan Huppie, telling him that she had a sexually transmitted disease. She kept talking to him as much as she could, trying to make him see her as a person, hoping that he would come to his senses and let her go. She promised that she wouldn’t let him get in trouble, that she would take him away and that they could start a beautiful life together.
Seriously, guys - for Valentine’s Day - try this out: Wait until your beloved is asleep and creep into her bedroom at 5 in the morning. Make sure you carry a meat cleaver and a knife to “set the mood.” Then, stand over her until she wakes up and mention that you’re there to “rape her and kill her.”
Girls love that.
The woman talked a good game, even getting Ryan Huppie to allow her to get dressed so that they could leave…but Ryan eventually got tired of her talking and slapped her.
And so this woman’s two-hour ordeal began.
Sensibly, she tried to calm Ryan down somewhat by co-operating as much as she could with the raping, which was repeated several times.
Once she realized that he was seriously intending to kill her, she started to fight back.
While testifying against Ryan Huppie, the woman stated:
I co-operated on the rape, but I wasn’t going to give him a body.
She fought him as best she could, until he gained the upper hand. Ryan Huppie tried to kill his victim, slamming her head repeatedly against a closet door and smashing a blunt object into her skull until she stopped moving.
When he saw that she had stopped moving, he left the room, returning when he heard her call 911. Really pissed off now, Ryan Huppie slashed and stabbed the woman, whose hands were mangled by the assault as she tried to protect herself - one of her pinky fingers showing a considerable amount of bone through the skin.
She told the court that she tried to play dead again.
I just lay there with my eyes wide open and I stared at him and he stared right back. You could see him thinking, ‘Finally, she’s dead.’
So Ryan Huppie left again, and this woman called 911 again - although this time, due to the condition of her hands, holding the phone and dialing was extremely difficult. Then she went to leave and go find some help.
Like in a bad horror movie, Ryan Huppie came back yet again. This time, the woman was able to stumble out of the apartment while Ryan was slashing at her body and head.
Police arrived as Ryan Huppie left the scene, and the woman staggered into a neighbor’s apartment.
The woman was taken to the local hospital, with severe blood loss to deal with, along with many deep knife wounds. Three of her fingers had been badly cut, with one that had almost been cut completely off.
She was taken to hospital by ambulance suffering from severe blood loss and multiple deep knife wounds. Three fingers were severely cut and one was nearly amputated. She nearly died.
Ryan slipped off into the night, showing up at his mother’s house and telling her, “Mom, I think I’ve done something wrong.”
She called police and Ryan Huppie was taken into custody.
Ryan James Huppie was charged with attempted murder, aggravated sexual assault, sexual assault with a weapon, unlawful confinement, and breaking and entering with the intent to commit aggravated sexual assault.
A friend of Ryan Huppie’s has admitted to cleaning up blood in an attempt to hide some evidence. That friend has also stated that Ryan Huppie had bet him $500 that he could rape and kill the woman.
While not denying that Ryan did what he did, his defense attorney is trying to say that Ryan has multiple personality disorder brought on by his troubled childhood.
It’s as good as any other excuse, I suppose.
Ryan Huppie’s lawyer is making the argument that Ryan is not criminally responsible because of a mental defect. We’ll see how that defense works out for him.
Update:
Ryan James Huppie was found guilty of attempted murder on the 28th of August, 2008, in the brutal attack and sexual assault of his next-door neighbor.
Court of Queen’s Bench Justice Terry Clackson found 24-year-old Ryan James Huppie, 24, guilty of a total of five charges in the February 2004 attack. Huppie was found guilty of attempted murder, aggravated sexual assault, sexual assault with a weapon, unlawful confinement and breaking and entering with the intent to commit aggravated sexual assault.
During the trial, Laurie Wood, Ryan Huppie’s defense lawyer, had argued that Ryan Huppie had committed the crime without clearly knowing what he was doing because he was high on drugs and alcohol.
Wood also argued that Ryan Huppie was not criminally responsible because of his untreated mental illness.
Crown prosecutor Avril Herron had countered that argument by saying that Ryan Huppie had admitted to being a liar and pretended to have symptoms of mental illness to avoid responsibility for his actions.
Prosecutor Avril Herron also argued that Ryan Huppie had planned the attack after making a $500 bet with a friend earlier that night.
Huppie admitted in court to the attack, but testified that he did not remember everything that happened because he had blacked out from drugs and alcohol.
Ryan Huppie’s mother, Suzanne Huppie, sat just a few feet from her son, who listened silently in a black T-shirt as Justice Terry Clackson delivered the verdict.
“I’m glad it’s over and I apologize to the family that are hurting and for Ryan,” she said later.
Suzanne Huppie also said that her son, too, is a victim. He was sexually violated by an adult relative and then again while in foster care and he now battles substance abuse.
He shouldn’t be classified as a dangerous offender. He should be classified as someone who needs help. If anybody judges my son for what he’s done, they better take a good look at their own backyard.
The last I checked, my backyard consisted of a little less than a quarter of an acre of grass, with a large play set and several toys. If there’s a victim of assault back there, I don’t know about it.

Can we send the lawyer to hell as well?
Or if the lawyer is successful, can we have the POS live with the lawyer?
While I know that lawyers are supposed to give the best possible defense, I am tired of all the lies.
“But Personality A really loved her, it was personality B that is bad, so we can’t put A in jail for the actions of B……” sounds like the plan of defense.
She sounds so messed up that the physical wounds will never heal enough as to allow her to forget the day.
Almost everyone of us has suffered some type of abuse now that we, as a society, are aware of what abuse is and the many forms it can take. We see that humans seem to enjoy abusing others within our kind more so than most of the animals. Obviously parts of our brains have not evolved much beyond the pond scum that we all once originated according to Darwin.

@Nissa,
i agree, somewhere i feel bad for this kid, had he been taken care of better in the past, none of this may have happened.
fact is it did happen, i hope all his personalities will rot in hell.

Poor boy, I feel very sorry for him. He’s had just about the worst life it’s possible for anyone to have, unwanted and abused all his young life. He needs help, therapy and lots of love. His victim’s injuries will heal. Ryan’s won’t.

What about her psychological damage you idiot!!
[Reply]
Chelsey — the word “schizo” in addition to meaning schizophrenia, is also used as a slangy term for just plain crazy.
This guy sounds completely insane. But I think he was responsible for his actions. Thank god his victim fought back, and didn’t die But she will probably never recover from her ordeal.
[Reply]
“He needs help, therapy and lots of love. His victim’s injuries will heal. Ryan’s won’t.”
Do you even read your comments before you post them?
Pretty idiotic to claim that this woman will ‘heal’, but the perp won’t.
Correct me if I am wrong, but did the perp have some sicko break into his house, threaten to rape and kill him, proceed to rape him several times, slash his body up so badly that his finger was almost amputated?
I am sorry I can’t follow the twisty logic that claims that the ‘alleged’ childhood abuse the POS had is more permanent and more brutal and more deserving of sympathy that the ordeal this woman went through.
Not only that, but nobody knows what kind of childhood the victim had. She went into a line of work that helped ‘troubled youths’, which is pretty common for people who had abusive childhoods themselves.
This is not some kind of ‘date gone wrong’. The POS obviously planned this attack, as his previous creepy note proves. The fact that he’d bet his friends that he could kill and rape HER (not just some unlucky random woman) and the fact that he stated his reason for being in her bedroom was because he was there to ‘rape and kill’ her.
Premeditated. That usually means not truly crazy. Sick and evil, yes. Crazy? No.
Must be a disease, a virus or something, because it seems to me that an awful lot of people who rape, kill, molest, etc., have all of the sudden started claiming ‘voices in their head’.
I have voices in my head, too. They generally tell me that it’s normal to fantasize about people you hate getting some payback, and then they tell me it is not acceptable to do it in real life.
I cannot believe the numbers of people that are sympathetic to POS people who purposefully hurt/rape/kill other people. BOO HOO. So Mr. POS had a bad childhood. Was bounced around in foster care, in an orphanage, was abused and mistreated. Maybe even sexually abused.
WHO FUCKING CARES?
Not me. And the reason is that everything described about the POS’s childhood happened to me also, maybe even worse things. But I’m not wallowing in loads of sympathy because of my ugly childhood. Maybe I have been going about it all wrong. Maybe I need to rape/kill/molest someone in order to get the ‘bigtime’ sympathy?
It is true that being bounced around, abused, causes attachment disorders. Meaning that it is difficult to love or be loved. I’ve struggled with that my whole adult life. I put off having children of my own until my late 30’s because even with therapy I was not sure I could act differently than what I was used to as a child. Imagine my surprise, when I finally agreed to have a child… and actually fully and completely loved him without reservation. So much so that I went ahead and had another child.
Because of my background, it absolutely infuriates me when people (whom I guess must have had a perfect childhood, something I know nothing about) give the ‘get out of jail free’ card to every loser POS just because they had a shitty childhood. At some point it stops being all about your childhood, and starts being all about the choices you make in your life.
Stats show that most (but not all) violent offenders had an abusive childhood. Stats also show that the majority of people who had abusive childhoods never become violent, abusive people. If the majority of people who were abused do not go on to be abusive, then something else needs to be looked at- such as personality and having a conscience.
I am fed up with perps using the ‘bad childhood’ card, and with people that generously hand them out every time some POS does something evil.
I have a radical idea. How about having more sympathy for the innocent victims of crime instead of the POS perps? I firmly believe that anyone who commits nasty crimes would have committed them whether they’d grown up in supposedly ‘good’ homes vs abusive homes.
This woman will have not only bad memories to deal with her whole life, but obvious physical scarring, not to mention emotional damage because of what this POS did to her. POS, on the other hand, won’t. Do the math. Without all the twisty logic.
Bleeding hearts. Me? I’m sick of them.

[Reply]
hold your horses there GloryBug, you’re not the only one who had to endure a shitty childhood and came out on top, there’s one typing here as well. read closely please, there’s one person who’s dumb enough to say we need to help him now, that we should provide love and care and bullshit like that. i can sympathise what he went through, just as much as i can sympathise with what you went through, as i too have been there. i most certainly don’t sympathise with him now, he’s a lunatic and needs to be locked away for life.
there’s tons of people who suffered abuse during their childhood who grew up just fine, i consider myself relatively sane and from what i read here, you’re pretty level headed yourself. a shitty childhood can never be an excuse for such horrendous crimes.
[Reply]
DualDenz- I absolutely agree that this person should be locked up for life.
The question is-
They go to an institution and then *miracle* they get better and are released early.
or
They go to prison and *miracle* they get out early due to all that good behaviour.
I do not like those choices.
As a vegetarian/anti-violence person, I get all the points against execution/DP (emotionally).
But (logically) I get all the reasons why people who commit vile crimes should not get just life in prison, but DP as well.
Im going to go with logic.

[Reply]
i just have to say that i am so proud of the victim in this case. she sounds like a bad ass chick. she didn’t freak out and make the situation worse, she kept her wits about her and kept a clear head and delt with the situation to the best of her ability. i think considering the crazy ass psycho that she was dealing with, the fact that she escaped with her life is incredible. i am in awe of this strong woman, and i hope that victims everywhere can gain strength from her story.
[Reply]
who cares abt his mental ‘defect’ ANYONE who harms another person should be removed from society. if I had my way wud be permanently.
[Reply]
not criminally responsible? bull shit. I’m tired of these drug user losers thinking just because they are whacked out on drugs THEY TOOK it excuses insane behavior. someone please put this guy out of his misery. good riddance.
[Reply]
R
If you are not his mother or lover, or just someone who is looking to get a reaction out of us, please get help. This POS did not hurt himself as a cry for help, it (the POS) hurt someone else as to attain some sort of satisfaction!
If you bothered to think about what you read, this girl will never have the body she did before - the injuries were intense!
Also you are totally ignoring the fact that she has had a life experience - granted the abuse was hours verses years, but it’s now a part of her past.
R - people like you are why people like Ryan don’t bother to think twice. Ryan will look to have a jury of his peers, but all he needs is one bleeding heart and then he can be free again to do whatever he wants.
Maybe he should buy her flowers and make everything OK? Maybe give him 2080 hours of community service planting trees and he’ll see how what he did was wrong and learn how to be a better person?
Today I have some real anger, but I did not run over the dog that was running free in the street while his owner stood by breaking the leash law.
Today I laid on the horn when some asshole decided to make a right turn from the left lane stopping us all, The same thing I would have done if I had just won the lottery and gotten laid the night before.
Yes I may blow up a bit more than usual if I find pickles in my Whopper, but because of what happened last night I still do not have the right to take a tire iron to anyone associated with the poisoned Whopper.
But if someone holds up the BK while I am there, they will deserve my tire iron, not because I am in a bad mood, but rather because they are thieving POS that need to be stopped. Although I may give an extra whack today.

He has no mother. He was bounced around from one abusive foster home to another, his whole life. Have some humanity. Some of the comments on this website are absolutely vicious.
[Reply]
Not criminally responsible, WTF he had intent and new exactly what he was going to do. How can he say he is not responsible? This boy needs to spend some time in the big house getting his ass raped and possibly shanked. I would also like to add the other scum in the house at the party did nothing to protect the woman, they should be held accountable and yes all of them should go to HELL!!!
[Reply]
I can’t believe that someone bets his friend can rape and kill someone… This guy should be punished for co-operating.
[Reply]
R-
He has a mother.
“Ryan slipped off into the night, showing up at his mother’s house and telling her, “Mom, I think I’ve done something wrong.â€
She called police and Ryan Huppie was taken into custody.”
I believe the story that he had a rough life, what I don’t believe is that it in any way excuses you for the things you choose to do.
[Reply]
For some strange reason he reminds me of emo Spinner from that Degrassi show. Except I never wanted Spinner dead. I say euthanize the bastard. Humanely of course.
I knew too many foster kids that had childhoods even more fucked up than my own. One of my middle school playmates was removed from one home for being raped repeatedly over the course of three years with a broom stick, only to be placed in another where she was fed cereal and water breakfast, lunch and dinner and slept on a cot in the basement with about 5 or 6 other foster kids. Once she was taken from that home she was moved out of state, so I don’t know what happened to her in the long run. My heart goes out to all people who were victimized as children, but it only goes so far. He had a fucked up childhood that definitely contributed to his being a sick and twisted individual. Thats sad, but there is nothing you can do about it now. I say strap him to a cot and put him down like they do fighting dogs. You can’t fix them, they will never get better, so just put ‘em down before they hurt someone else.
[Reply]
I don’t know why anybody is on here defending this guy, downplaying what happened to the victim, and then on top of that having the nerve to ask the people commenting here to have some humanity. The last time I checked nobody commenting on this site stalked, raped, and viciously attacked a woman due to some mental illness/past abuse/drug addiction so maybe the humanity of the people here shouldn’t be in question so much as the humanity of the perpetrator of this horrible crime. He has never suffered/will never suffer as much as the woman he attacked. His victim sounds like a brave and strong woman. I’m glad she made it out alive and I hope that she will be able to heal both physically and emotionally, though this incident has probably scarred her permanently. No bullshit sob story from his past should excuse what he did and he should be punished and given the maximum sentence (his friend should be charged for his role in the crime as well). Other people have been abused as children yet not all of them have gone on to commit crimes like this; some people with these backgrounds have gone on to become productive members of society.
[Reply]
Lisa, I agree with everything you said, with one small exception.
~some people with these backgrounds have gone on to become productive members of society.~
Actually, MOST people with these backgrounds have gone on to become productive members of society. :)
[Reply]
R -
Who is more vicious - Ryan for what he did, or us for being appalled by such or us calling you a bleeding heart?
It’s time that the people who go to work, school, etc as to make themselves and the world a better place stand up and let the royal class know atht we are sick of what is happening here. Call me rude, call me vicious, I am NOT going to back down just because your feelings are hurt.
My wife, who like her jewlry can not stand up and choose what she wants to wear anymore. She has to get on her hands and knees like a dog to get into a safe bolted to the floor to get at her jewlry! Why??? Because she wants to keep it! Our front door SHOULD be enough to draw a line bwetwen public and private, but no. Why? Because POS theives get off easy because nobody was hurt, nobody loved tem enough, becuae they have addictions and are misunderstood.
Once I saw keys as a means of showing off power, now I see keys as a sign of just how sick our society is. We now make security an owner’s responsibility rather than hold the theif accountable!
FLUSH! The right to own and enjoy property not locked up or bolted down gone!
[Reply]
“Actually, MOST people with these backgrounds have gone on to become productive members of society. :)”
You’re right bogustoo- “some” was worded badly on my part. I don’t mean to discredit or ignore the many individuals who have endured abuse only to go on and achieve success in life.
[Reply]
Wow….ok, so here’s my opinion. If his childhood abuses were handled properly, he would have been a more emotionally stable person.
As for the attempted killing…hell for the little bugger….I didn’t know who my dad was until I was 5…I’m not out killing people….excuses are excuses and stupid ones are inexcusible.
[Reply]
As I said before, he’s damaged beyond repair, lock him up so he can’t hurt anyone else
[Reply]
Kdogg,
Right as usual. This guy is broken and can’t be fixed by any means known to us presently. I pity him, but it isn’t really my concern why he did what he did as it relates to this case. After he’s been safely locked away, unable to repeat this crime, study him and find a way to prevent this from happening to another troubled kid. Having a rough childhood in no way absolves this kid. What he did was disgusting and he MUST be punished. Since there is no means of rehabilitating him to the satisfation of the public at large, he should be in a secure facility for the rest of his life just as all folks as broken as he is should be. They should be put in a self sufficient commune where they eat what they grow, wear clothes they make, etc. so that society doesn’t have to bear the burden of supporting them. Do I care what lead to his faulty wiring, of course! In that I want to know how it happened so that it may be prevented. Do I think he should get a pass because his childhood sucked? Not even a little.
[Reply]
Oh yeah, and if his friend isn’t being charged with accessory, obstruction, and conspiracy, he should be.
[Reply]
Abuse is never, ever, an acceptable reason.
Period.
End of story.
OWN YOUR OWN SHIT!
[Reply]
It’s okay to feel sorry and sad for the little boy that he WAS and what was done to that little boy. It’s okay to understand that what what done to that little boy could cause problems for the adult he grew into. However, there is never never never any way to justify or excuse rape and murder, ESPECIALLY not one so overwhelmingly awful as this. He just kept coming back and hurting this woman, over and over. It’s not like he even just panicked and shot her before he knew what he was doing. He was hacking and slashing at her as she drug herself out of her door!
One abused child is too much to bear and we need to do a better job in this country of preventing those atrocities but we can’t give a pass to those who commit crimes later in life just because they suffered hardship early in life. Some people crumble under adversity. Some rise above it and use it as a platform to speak out and educate the world. He could have become a spokesperson for the reform of the WOEFULLY inadequate foster care system but instead, he raped and attempted to hack to death a productive member of society. Away with him!
[Reply]
What’s wrong with our society?
A simple truth “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you” seems to be ignored. Weather this is from the Bible or not is moot - it SHOUDL be just common sense.
Now this should also NOT be a license. While a masochist loves pain and would love to be whipped, beaten or humiliated, a masochist shuold not be able to use this as a defense…….
In short, how many people would like to be raped? Not many - Cut up and bleedingto death? Far fewer.
A much more complex statement, but a much more absolute truth, was stated by one of the former principals of my high school “No one has the right to do that which if everyone did such would destroy society”
[Reply]
What kind of a sick bastard offers $500 to their friend if they rape and kill a woman?
The vehicle that takes this sonofabitch to hell better have a few extra seats in it.
[Reply]
“It’s okay to feel sorry and sad for the little boy that he WAS”
That’s a stereotype I never like. That supposedly all children are just perfect and happy-go-lucky. And that the only thing that causes warped thinking is childhood abuse. I met some of my children’s friends when they were just 5-6, and believe me, you could tell who was going to be trouble. The capacity for evilness does not start at puberty, or after someone abuses you.
There are too many survivors of childhood abuse who have gone on the have children they do not abuse, as well as never having murdered anyone.
I’m one of those people. And that is why I don’t have sympathy for anyone who commits crimes and then tries to get a sob story (read: get out of jail card) out to explain their unexplainable actions.
Boo Hoo.
Not.

Hmm, the Lizard eye leads me to believe he’s at least mildly schizophrenic, his general behavior signifies that he may also have antisocial personality disorder. Somehow I imagine some reporter became confused and assumed that schizophrenia is the same as multiple personality disorder, as Huppie shows no signs of it.
To those debating on whether or not his childhood has anything to do with his current state, well yeah of course it does. Chances are quite high that Huppie carries a genetic pre-disposition towards schizophrenia and antisocial personality disorder, while this does not necessarily mean he is doomed to express symptoms of either disorder, a rough childhood significantly increases the odds that he would indeed develop such disorders.
Is he guilty? Yes
Is he responsible for his actions? Definitely
Is he what one might call insane? Most likely
Should he be allowed to live with normal people? Most likely not.
That said, try to remember that he is still a human being, just a very sick one. I’d say he deserves to go to hell as much as a cancer sufferer deserves to die an early death.

Hi, This is his Sister, and I was unfortunately there at the party the night that that happened. I testified against him, and tho I wasn’t there when “the deed” happened. before this, I loved him, he was my big brother who I looked up to. We both had sexual molesestation happen to us, Why would he do that to someone else? We both had the same childhood pretty much, And I don’t go around raping people. I do have to say though, before any of this happened, he’d be the type of person to give you the shirt off his back if you needed it. I don’t know who he is anymore, and I can not stand by him when he has done this.

d_huppie—
Thank you, thank you, thank you. It isn’t often enough that family members of anyone written about here show up without claiming they are innocent, they were set up, they couldn’t help it because they had a bad childhood.
It is helpful to have people like you post here, since you personally know the person. And, as an abused/molested person yourself, you prove the point that THAT is not what is to blame in these events. So, whoever molested you and your brother should not be allowed to claim that any abuse they suffered excuses what they did to you any more than your brother’s abuse should excuse his actions.
I am sorry that your brother is not now who you thought he was before. And that you’ve lost that ‘other’ person. But I do respect your refusal to not stand by him now. I wish more people had the strength to do that.
