That's sad man. I don't believe he just pushed her I think their was some rapein beating going on.
So, the sister did the investigating and the murderer confessed with little pressing. What a sorry, sad police department.
Even in the era without phones this case should have been solved in 13 seconds, not 13 years. When someone says 'my former lover ran away with a new partner' what they mean is 'I killed them because I was jealous'.
Oh, and courts need to start issuing search warrants for 'the last person to see them alive' as fast as possible.
I feel that Sherri Lyn has such a pure aura and kind soul. I pray for the family to stay strong. Well done ðŸ‘ÂÂðŸÂ¼ PD 👎ðŸÂ½
😢
21 with 3 kids sheeeshh
So sad!! The police should have investigated way more than they did!!
If the man is ever released, I hope the local papers will release the full story of his crime. While we understand the position of the prosecutor, we also understand that justice was never served.
The worst thing in the world anyone can do is take a loving Mother away from her children 😢 and then to tell them she abandoned them!.
The police did a crappy job 🤦ðŸÂ»â€ÂÂ♀ï¸ÂÂ
Sad she was such beautiful woman
I'm sorry but why did the police not go and look on the property first instead of offering him a deal they would have found her and he would have got way more time SMH
AND SOME WONDER WHY THE POLICE ARE HATED… THEY ARE INCOMPETENT
Somebody should have gave her old man a rubber first off
How are her brainwashed children today???
My God! You never, ever live with your ex's family! Another family tragedy!!! What about her sister? What about emergency public housing?
Law enforcement could’ve did what her sister did; asked her boyfriend at the time if they ran off together and they didn’t! When someone says that a significant other ran off with a man or woman usually that means they’ve killed them in every case I’ve heard anyway
There may be circumstances that we were not told, BUT, couldn't they have at least gotten a search warrant and tried to find her body using a cadaver dog.
"She ran off with another man" is an excuse old as time!
That prosecutor sucks!
MORE Missing White Woman syndrome.
These investigators were terrible….after 13 years…why would you knee jerk react and show your cards…you should have waited continued to surveil him…record more conversations and see if they can determine where she was buried. Then they made a deal….just lazy, dumb police work.
It must have been a crazy situation for her to leave her husband, move in with his parents and proceed to date. It’s hard to imagine why she would have made that decision. Things must have been pretty desperate for this poor lady,.
It was tough back then, police did not care about poor kids
So the husband is busting his tail working as truck driver been away from his family a week at a time. She breaks up with him and starts dating another man all while living with the baby daddy’s family…. Smfh
Seriously what was she expecting to happen.
Why didn’t they search his property back when she forest died and they suspected him? Wtf?!?!?! Smh those detectives failed her!!!!
And then they threw dirt on her name by telling her children disgusting lies about her smh
In the last story he didn't push her out of the truck and she hit the pavement. It is more likely he stomped on her face while she was on the pavement.
I thought the deal was off if he lied about how she was killed? She wasn’t killed from a hard push, she was hit in the head with something!!!
I think a LOT more happened to her. But the judgement will not be avoided in the long run.
There are some mothers who leave their children. Most would never think about it. Common sense would have told the police to look a little harder, to at least try to get in touch with her.
@ 0:34 Richard Dumm?
How did detectives not figure this out when it happened?
She has very sad and haunted eyes.
She stayed with her husbands' parents to stay away from her husband so she could sneak around with her new boyfriend. She's dead. Surprise.
Was there really any point in producing this? No there wasn't.
None at all.
Sad
