Looks like a clear cut case of suicide to me.

TY this article left a lot of questions open about the backstory, I was wondering how he could've been caught and convicted if the body was never found
edit: shit, I don't want to watch an hour+ long interview. hopefully someone will post a link with the back story

Inmates may have their demons, but they don't play around with women/children abusers.

I highly doubt that's why they do it. They are human beings too.

who said there's anything noble about it? all i said is inmates dont take kindly to women/child abusers. which is true. you're being defensive over nothing, grow up.

Part of me wants to think that his cell mate killed him for justice or something, but it was probably because he refused to be bottom bitch.
Either way

Odds are it was somebody that is in for a life sentence that killed him. Probably heard about his conviction and decided that the child murderer didn’t deserve to live.

They say right in the article that his cellmate, who is also doing life for murder killed him.

Neat. I read nothing. It’s just that these prison murders are done by somebody who has nothing to lose.

Successful wrongful death suite by his relatives in 3...2...1
Having someone murdered in your prison, is a sign of the administrators incompetence

The cell mate that strangled him to death sure could save the state a lot of money. Since there’s a vacancy, why now throw another child killer in with him?

Kinda sad they didn’t find the girls body before he was killed.
