Just awful. Poor woman.
This was a senseless act! Everyone will give an account of their life on JUDGEMENT DAY when they stand in front OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST!!
Take this guy to the Train Station, Rip.
Death Penalty and nothing less!
This was the nicest lady!! She has been through HELL and give her family everything including her life!! So sad !! There is a drug problem in Cantonment and they need to put the people selling it in jail or the ground!!
this is a good example of
what drugs can do to your mind……..
Is this guy mentally ill or something? This poor woman lived her whole life, then was murdered by some fool for her car? God bless this family and give them strength through this tragedy. God, I am so sorry your beautiful creations have come to these senseless evil acts.
Such a sad sad story…really!!! This was a senseless slaying of this sweet woman that YOU KNEW! I’m not going to speculate on the condition this fella was in to do this but in this day and time it’s pretty obvious. Big prayers for this family…I can’t put on here what I wish would happen to this sick/twisted individual…looks as if someone tried(according to the picture) I hope this fella never a sees the outside again…DISGUSTED!
@jason …
it doesn’t make ME wonder what’s being hid, it makes YOU wonder.
Omg I am so shocked.i can’t imagine what went wrong.i knew her an him an both were loving people. Please pray for the family
People can’t talk about Century anymore! Cantoment is in the news every single day! Thugs and more thugs in that area. Maybe he will get what he deserves from big bubba.
@ Stumpknocker
Very well said, very well said
Sincerely, prayers to all involved.
Thank you for our law enforcement and for what they cant unsee in the work they fo
Ok Jason, nice deflection but such a bad fail. Our Sheriff’s Office is more transparent than the majority of law enforcement agencies. Nothing is being hidden.
@Jason if this was your family member tell us all how you appreciate it being broadcast to anyone with internet access, just imagine it was your family member and unknown people showing up to get a look and interfere with the investigation. Stop acting like it’s some dang conspiracy, somethings don’t need to be revealed immediately to the public out of respect for family and friends and to further the investigation quickly. Great job by our law enforcement for a speedy capture.
Breaks my heart to read this story..So sorry for your loss..
Well another reason for armed trained citizens , no matter the age.
I cant think of anything worse than this right now… this is beyond horrific… why do we have people like this in the world
I’ve known her for years. It takes a sick individual to do this, but glad that he was caught tonight…and it looks like the cops had some fun with him as well!
Earlier today the online dispatch log had a “crime scene follow-up” call and an “assistance” call for Candy Lane, but no supporting call as to why the other calls were necessary. Now I know why those other calls were showing.
Makes you sorta wonder what else is being “hid” on the online dispatch log. If you look at the number of calls for service in the Cantonment district, you would almost think there was a need for police protection up here. Sorta makes you wonder what else (other calls) is being hid from citizens.
So sad…so senseless…Prayers for the family!
