Literally Twisted

Yesterday, we learned details about the eloquent red-paint epitaphs left on walls throughout the Coleman home after the May 5 triple homicide. Today we are made privy to threatening letters the Colemans allegedly received months ago.

Do I hear "premeditated"?

The contents of the letters were revealed Wednesday with the unsealing of search warrants, the Belleville News-Democrat, which filed the request to unseal the search warrants last week, reported. Also released were additional discoveries made by detectives investigating the murders of Sheri Coleman, 31, and her sons Garett, 11 and Gavin, 9, who were strangled in their beds early May 5. Husband and father Chris Coleman has been charged with three counts of first degree murder.

Coleman told police on Jan. 2 that he received an anonymous letter that stated, "(Expletive)! Deny your God publicly or else! No more opportunities. Time is running out for you and your family." The letter referred to someone traveling to Asia, but didn't refer to anyone by name, the Belleville News-Democrat reported, noting that Sheri participated in missionary trips to southeast Asia, including Cambodia. "Have a good time in India (expletive)!" the letter concluded.

With the Spring came another letter, which Coleman dutifully took to police on April 27. That letter stated, "I am giving you the last warning! You have not listened to me and you have not changed your ways. I have warned you to stop traveling and stop carrying on with this fake religious life of stealing people's money." The letter referred to an unnamed woman, the Belleville News-Democrat reported.

"You think you are so special to do what you do protecting or think you are protecting her. She is a (expletive) and not worth doing it. Stop today or else. I know your schedule. ... This is my last warning."

According to the search warrants made public Wednesday, police also took into evidence a greeting card addressed to Coleman's post office box in Columbia from St. Petersburg, Fla., found in the glove box of Coleman's 1998 green Ford Explorer, the Belleville News-Democrat reported. Word is Coleman was having an affair with a woman from St. Petersburg who went to high school with Sheri.

Coleman, a 32-year-old former security guard for the Joyce Meyer Ministries, remains in the Monroe County Jail without bond.

Coleman's wrongdoing written on the wall

A lawyer for the family of murder victim Sheri Coleman described Tuesday what the alleged killer wrote on the walls of the family's home in red spray paint at the time of the murders.

Sheri, 31, and sons Garett, 11, and Gavin, 9, of Columbia, Illinois, were strangled in the early hours of May 5 and left dead their bedrooms. Husband and father Christopher Coleman was charged and arrested for the murders. Last week, he pleaded not guilty to the triple homicide and settled in his new accommodations at the jailhouse after a judge denied bond.

Previously, it had been reported the killer wrote something along the lines of "I told you so" on a wall downstairs, but it turns out Coleman was much more creative than that. Perhaps it was the adrenaline rush in his body after killing his wife and children that inspired him to elaborate.

Lawyer Jack Carey said the killer wrote:

1. "Fuck you bitch" and "Punished" in the dining room.
2. "I told you so" by the stairs.
3. "Whore paid" and "U have paid" upstairs.
4. "I saw you leave. Fuck you. I am always watching" in the kitchen.

Wow, killer poetry.

Meanwhile, Angela DeCicco and Mario Weiss, the mother and brother of Sheri Coleman, filed a wrongful death lawsuit Tuesday against Coleman "to strip the culpable party of all financial holdings--all that he has now and all that he may ever have," according to a statement accompanying the suit filed in Monroe County circuit court.

"To allow one penny of ill-gotten gain to be derived at the expense of Sheri, Garett and Gavin is not acceptable to those who dearly love them," DeCicco and Weiss said in the statement.

The money would go to a memorial fund set up for the three murder victims. "These funds will be used to erect a lasting tribute in the city of Columbia," according to the suit.

"Our goal is to extract something positive from such a horrific and senseless tragedy and to honor the lives of my sister and her two young sons," Weiss told the press outside the court house.

The wrongful death suit also names Coleman's father, Ronald, and the Joyce Meyer Ministries, where Coleman worked until shortly after his family was killed, as "respondents in discovery," which means they may be forced to hand over financial documents and information such as Coleman's personnel file, his work schedule and travel itineraries and the Ministries' employment policies, CNN reported.

The suit claims the Colemans took the deed to their home in 2005, but six months ago ownership was transferred to Christoper Coleman alone, CNN added. "Sheri did not voluntarily sign the deed transferring title to the residence to Christopher," the document states.

The civil suit also alleges that in the period between the killings and his arrest, Coleman removed personal property from the house and asks Coleman and anyone "acting at his direction" be forbidden from entering the home again and that he provide a list of items already removed, CNN reported.

This is about to get as nasty as it gets, if you ask me.

Sick Fuck of the Week

This week another scumbag was arrested for killing his family--his entire family--so I think it appropriate to bestow the Sick Fuck of the Week Award upon Christopher Coleman.

The Coleman Murders

Chris Coleman, 32, an ex-marine who worked as security for Joyce Meyer Ministries, planned and executed the murders of his 31-year-old wife, Sheri, and two sons, Gavin, 9, and Garett, 11, by ligature strangulation in Columbia, Ill, on May 5.

WTF is wrong with these people?

How do you choke your kids to death? What in the name of god--with whom Coleman, reportedly, had a tight relationship given his job--was going through his mind? How--somebody please explain it to me--how in the world did he think he could get away with it? Are people that dumb?

Imagine what the wife's family is enduring. This man they thought they knew. This man they welcomed to their family. A cold-blooded murderer. Unthinkable.

What about Joyce Meyer and her team? That's just what they needed: an adulterer who also turned out to a murderer of the worst kind. Surely it's the devil's fault. They must be praying overtime over there, and I can't blame them.

So Coleman gets arrested and pleads "not guilty." How shocking. God forbid someone in this country takes responsibility for his or her actions...now, that would be news.

I'd like to know what his parents are thinking. Are they going to stand by him because "he's our son"? Would you? Would I? Can anyone truly forgive him? Nothing much has been said about the parents, which brings me to the Anthony's...


Killer Totmom

George and Cindy Anthony continue sailing up and down the Nile...either that or they're committed to do and say whatever it takes to protect and defend daughter Casey, a.k.a. Totmom, 22, who's awaiting trial for the murder of her almost 3-year-old daughter, Caylee.

I knew Caylee was dead the minute news spread about the 911 call Cindy made in July after finding out that her granddaughter had been missing for a month. I just knew she was buried under pile of wet leaves in a heavily vegetated area. And indeed, she was.

As the plot thickens, it turns out Casey, Sick Fuck of the Week for more weeks that I can count, is more of a psychopath than initially suspected. Just her lack of distress about the disappearance of her daughter is enough in my book. Add to that the endless string of lies.

One of my theories is that she went out partying and used chloroform to keep the kid quiet in the car. But she ended up killing her with excess chloroform or asphyxiated by a stuffy nose and duck tape over the mouth meant to keep her quiet. Yet, this theory does not explain the break-necking searches Casey did on the Internet, which show an intent to kill.

And that's the question that grips me: why. Why kill her kid? For what? How would she profit from it? What was there to be gained by ending her life? Was Totmom planning on extorting money out of her parents with a bogus kidnapping scenario? We haven't heard anything about she asking for money to give the alleged "kidnappers"--have we? This is one bizarre case...

Talking about bizarre, what's up with Casey's brother Lee? First he gives a fucked up speech during Caylee's memorial service that was full of Casey and totally devoid of Caylee. Dude, it's your niece's service! She died a horrible death and you're stuck on your sister? WTF?! Then came his deposition in the civil suit Zanny the Nanny filed against the Anthony's for slander and messing up her life. His testimony is disturbing at best. Lee is seen joking around, laughing out loud, having a good old time. The craziest part is how while he's revealing all the lies Casey has told him, he's also saying that "to this day [he] believe[s] everything [my] sister tells [me]." Uh...hello?

I suppose there's only so much trauma a person can take, and perhaps losing Caylee to a horrible death and Casey to the justice system is too much for Cindy and George. I just don't see how anyone--anyone--could believe all of the stories Casey has fed the Police and her family since day one. One would have to put common sense on hold to believe such crap.

Talking about crap reminds me of another sick fuck.


The abominable Melissa Huckaby

In late March, Huckaby, 28, took 8-year-old Sandra Cantu, drugged her, raped her with a foreign object, killed her, stuffed her in a suitcase and dumped her in an irrigation pond nearby.

And get this: This piece of trash was a Sunday School teacher and the granddaughter of a Baptist pastor. Another church-going sociopath. What Book are they reading? Who's Word are they following?

Since her arrest in April, the authorities have discovered that Huckaby was no newbie to depravation. Not long before she assaulted and killed Sandra, she took a 7-year-old girl and drugged her. This one, she didn't kill.

What compels a person to do something like this? Is it due to some sort of malfunction somewhere in the brain? Or is it just plain evil? And does evil even exist? Nowadays any and every behavior seems to be explainable by a psychiatric condition. Can someone please explain it to me? Are the people who commit these heinous crimes sick or evil?

So far, these three characters are neck and neck for the Sick Fuck of the Year award, but for this week the trophy goes to Coleman.
