This is very sad and distrubing. I feel sorry for the families and I can only imagine what that little girl will have to live with for the rest of her life. What kind of freak would even put a child through that? Sicko

I would’ve died with my mother before I helped this bastard bury her. Just would’ve been “my time to go”.

I agree Shauncey. I KNOW I wouldn’t have been able to assist in dumping her body. My heart goes out to the child…hopefully someone will get this child professional help…she is going to need it!

anyone heard any further updates on this pyschos’ fate or further court appearnaces…it seems things r kept “hush/hush”…maybe since other killings r occurring…however the nature of this one…is why I guess this one stands out in my mind vs the others ones….it’s a shame for anyone to be murdered and I hope all those murderers meet the justice they deserve! i pray for that poor little girl n wonder if dhs put her up for an adoption will they expose the history to her new parents if ever she have any?

Keep me posted of any updates….and guys let’s intercede with a slew of prayers for our city…memphis is topping out some of the much larger cities in crime….this is sad! Will we ever get our city back….what good is all the beauty in downtown and all the tourist attractions if we have such ugliness lurking around all that beauty? God help us!!!

I was so sad to hear of my very dear friend being murdered. She was such a great friend, mother and student. No one deserves to be murdered in this way, escpecially Charlene. Your smile and wilingness to help others will never be forgotten. I will pray for your precious children. I know you are looking down on us all.

OMG! A beautiful 28 yr old was slaughtered like an animal?
IN FRONT OF HER INNOCENT 12 YR OLD DAUGHTER?
children have to observe the family pig or cow get slaughtered and butchered for steaks and bacon.
Some children are traumatized by watching a favorite animal be slaughtered humanely for food.

Sorry I accidently sent my comment before it before it was completed.
This little girl had to see the blood, guts, veins, arteries and bones of her own mother getting sawed off. No one can survive this with their sanity intact. Her darling mother was beheaded as she watched. Have you ever seen an animal beheaded? How about a human? What about your mother? That sick SOB. He ruined a young girl for life. What flashes in her mind when she thinks of what she was forced to do? There is no doubt that he would have just killed the girl , too. He is an evil bastard. Oh, WOW< Charlene was going to call the police on him, what a jerk! She obviously had a good reason to. Instead of leaving, as he should have that night, he stabbed her in the neck- that in itself is a bloody mess of a thing to do to anyone. As the girl was in shock, hoping her mother would live, he made sure she saw the day old corpse, decomposing, stiff and frightening.
This is a horrible ghastly crime, have you ever seen a horror movie with this scene in it?
They NEVER found this precious womans HEAD? WTF?

Crime statistics at the FBI show that Blacks, who are only 17% of the population, commit over 50% of the crime!
There is more black-on-white crime than the reverse.
Is this overwhelming crime rate racist towards other ethnic groups who are victims? You bet it is!
