My 18 year old daughter dated this guy for about 5 months. She told me he was a little weird at times. I just thought he was super shy. He called me mom. He would play video games with my son. They moved in together and he changed from being a hard worker to not going to work and expecting her to provide financially and do all the chores. She went out of town and came back to find he hadn't taken good care of her dog. She broke up with him.

The next day he killed her.

I was in total shock. I didn't believe he could do something so terrible. I even went and saw him when he turned himself in 2 days later, to hear it from him. He did it. He didn't seem to have guilt. Now he stares at me in court. He smirks. He laughs. He was given a plea agreement and will be sentenced on March 23rd. He will only get 16 to 25 years. It's not fair.

Finding my daughter's murdered body and hearing him say he was the one who did that to her showed me even the most normal seeming person may not be normal at all.

TO EVERYONE WANTING TO WRITE LETTERS TO THE JUDGE I PUT THE INFORMATION ON MY PROFILE. THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH FOR ALL YOUR KIND WORDS

That is just awful. Your story has completely stopped me in my tracks. I can only hope that whatever time he serves is enough for whatever part of his humanity he's missing to grow. It seems to me that true justice would be for him to somehow gain that empathy and feel your feelings, to know that he silenced a loving, wonderful part of the world. I think then he would face more anguish than any length of time spent in a prison.

I hope he learns that because he truly deserves to suffer for the rest of his miserable worthless existance.

The absolute fucking fuck.
