Simon Peter Nelson is an American man who was convicted of murdering his six children aged 13, 11, 8, 7, 5, and 3. He used a knife and rubber mallet to kill the children as they slept on January 7, 1978 in Rockford, Illinois. He then drove to Milwaukee to beat his wife, who was seeking a divorce at the time.Nelson claimed that he "snapped" when his wife announced her intention to divorce him, and alleges that he can’t recall the killings because of amnesia. He first was eligible for parole in 1986 and has been denied at least 15 times.
While working as voice director on Strange Hill High the producer, Andrew Burrell, asked Nelson to invent a Latin motto for the school crest because he had a degree in Classics. The motto, Tres nos salvabunt can be seen in several places throughout the series. The phrase means 'Three will save us' - a reference to the heroic escapades of the three protagonists in the series.
