A TEENAGE killer’s sick text messages to his girlfriend have emerged after he executed five family members – including three children.
Mason Sisk, 18, was sentenced to life in prison this week after being convicted of multiple murder charges by a jury in April.
The teen was found guilty of shooting each of his five family members in the head at their Alabama home in 2019.
John Wayne Sisk, 38, Mary Sisk, 35, and three of their kids — Grayson, six, Aurora, four, and Colson, six months — were all killed on September 2, 2019.
The victims were shot as they were lying in bed.
Sisk initially claimed that he was playing video games in the basement when he heard the gunfire and ran outside to see a car driving off.
He later confessed to investigators, telling them: “Yeah, they argue a lot, and I got fed up with it.
“And the kids were going through a lot.”
He was charged with four counts of capital murder, one count for killing two or more people, and one course of conduct.
Because he was 14 years old when he committed the crimes, Sisk did not face the possibility of the death penalty.
On Thursday after Sisk was sentenced, Limestone County District Attorney Brian C.T. Jones delivered a harsh statement.
“I’ve prosecuted a lot of people in my career, and I can tell you that out of all of those people, only four out of five people scare the hell out of me and he’s at the top of my list,” Jones said.
“Mason Sisk is clearly one of the most dangerous people who will ever be sentenced in Limestone County.
“With this sentence today, Judge Wise has ensured that Mason Sisk will never threaten another child’s safety and wellbeing.”
Circuit Judge Chadwick Wise said that Sisk’s actions were “ghastly, disturbing, and draped in unmitigated evil.”
‘GOOD WITH A GUN’
On top of that, chilling messages Sisk sent to his ex-girlfriend were also revealed at trial.
Lola Holladay was dating Sisk at the time he committed the brutal murders.
Messages between the two were read in court.
On February 2, 2021, Sisk texted Holladay: “I did it because I was held at gunpoint.”
Sisk also told Holladay that he wanted to be a contract killer, according to local CBS affiliate WHNT reporter Dallas Parker.
He texted her saying: “I am good with a gun, I killed my family in less than 4 seconds.
“All head shots.”
‘LOST HIS MIND’
Holladay took the stand during the trial to reveal more about Sisk’s life.
“He told me that his birth mother used to lock him in bathrooms and leave,” Holladay said, per WHNT.
“Then his dad got remarried.
“He always played with his siblings, dressed up with his sister, did tea parties,” she continued.
“He was scared to hold the baby because he was so small.”
Holladay also said that Sisk had warned her that if anything bad happened, it was likely John’s brother, Lance.
“The night of the murders he called me bawling. Hyperventilating,” Holladay said.
“I couldn’t understand him. I had to calm him down.
“I never believed that Mason did this. I thought that he lost his mind in jail being by himself.
“I never believed any of the messages he sent me from jail.”
The disturbing murders rocked Elkmont, a tiny town of 500 residents not far from the Alabama-Tennessee border.
As part of his sentence, Sisk is not eligible for parole.
