Murder Monday #5 Emilia Carr




   Born Emilia Yera on August 4, 1984, in Citra, Florida. She was the second of three sisters and a psychologist estimated her IQ to be 125. When he was 15, she reported abuse by her father, but then withdrew her statement; eventually, her father was convicted of attempting to solicit the murders of his family and sentenced to four years in prison.
    Carr was married twice and had three children. She had to file a restraining order against one of her ex-husbands and was also sentenced to two years of probation for her involvement in her ex-husband's grand theft of exotic birds(not sure if it was the same ex as the one she had to get the restraining order from). In November 2008, she was engaged to Joshua Fulgham, who ended marrying Heather Strong one month later, although Carr stayed in contact with them, babysitting Strong's two children. In January 2009, Fulgham was arrested for threatening Strong with a shotgun, but eventually, the charges were dropped; it was later revealed that Carr threatened Strong with a knife to drop the charges.
   On February 15, 2009, Heather Strong was reported missing and her remains were found on March 19 by a storage trailer in Boardman, Florida. Carr was arrested on March 24, who was eight months pregnant with Fulgham's child at the time. Carr had tricked Strong into the storage trailer behind her mother's home and placed a plastic bag over head after she unsuccessfully tried to break Strong's neck. Fulgham was arrested on suspicion of fraud since he was using Strong's credit cards after her disappearance.
   Carr and Fulgham waived their right to a speedy trial and Carr wasn't tried until the end of 2010. She was found guilty of first-degree murder and kidnapping and was sentenced to death by lethal injection. Fulgham went to trial in April 2012 for first-degree murder and kidnapping. He was found guilty but was sentenced to life in prison, mainly because the motive for murder was jealousy and betrayal. However, on May 19, 2017, Carr was resentenced to life without parole.

Lock Every Door Review

Image
 Okay, so I figured that everyone that wants to reads this book has already read it, but GUYS, this book was so good! As much as I want to talk to people about all the spoilery things that happened, I know that I need to make this review a push for people that are on the fence or people that insist they aren't going to read this book, to read it. So, the book is about a woman named Jules who, at the beginning of the book, was let go from her job and broke up with her cheating boyfriend in the same day or at least relatively close together, and finds a job listing that she can't turn down. Apartment sitting for 3 months accruing her a total of 12 thousand dollars at the prestigious Bartholomew, a glamorous and secretive apartment complex in Manhattan. While things seem a bit off, such as the rules that she's not allowed to have visitors or that she's not allowed to sleep away from the property, but Jules chalks it to the other tenants wanting their privacy, si

Microphones and Murders Review

    It's time for another ARC review. I did receive this book via Edelweiss, so shout out to them, but this is a cozy mystery centered around two sisters creating a true-crime podcast. There is representation for those that are hard of hearing since there is a character who is now completely deaf (I don't know how well this is done because I do not fit into this demographic and to my knowledge, this isn't own voices for it). But the book is about Liv Olson who used to work as a sound engineer in the #1 podcast series in the country, but now has given up that job to start her own podcast with her younger stepsister, Camry, called Missing or Murdered and the first season is surrounding the disappearance of Amelia Clark, a young woman who went missing after a Youtube video of her went viral that wasn't the most flattering. So Liv and Camry decide to head to Santa Maria to investigate.    Oh my gosh, is this so lighthearted and fun. It's very much a stereotypical c

Murder Monday #7 The Parachute Murder

    Okay, if there was ever a way to end the month of love it's with talking about the Parachute Murder, granted I never heard of it before I started researching for the blog, but oh boy are you guys in for a doozy.    So, everything started on November 18, 2006, when Els Van Doren, Els Clottemans, and Marcel Somers went skydiving together and it ended up with Van Doren's primary and reserve parachute failing to deploy, causing her to fall to her death from the height of over 2 miles. The police established that the cords of the parachute had been cut and Van Doren's video camera captured the dive (I have no idea if the video is out there, but I didn't really want to watch someone plummet to their death.) As the police continued the investigation and learned of a love triangle between the three of them, in which Clottemans was in love with Sommers and Sommers was in love with Van Doren AND Van Doren and Clottemans had a sexual relationship with Sommers. So Clotte
