“A real man is supposed to protect his wife and kids. You victimized your child, then murdered your wife.”
That is how Dustin Jasper of Sturgis described Douglas Stewart minutes before Stewart was sentenced to life in prison without parole
for the murder of Venus Stewart, Jasper’s sister.
Jasper spoke on behalf of family members in the courtroom of St. Joseph County Circuit Judge Paul Stutesman.
Jasper read words written by his mother, Therese McComb: “Don’t you miss her? Don’t you realize how much Brook and Rachel need
their mother? This just shows how much you didn’t love them and saw them as pawns to hunt Venus. You’re hurting Mom by not
telling where she is at to have a proper burial.”
Monday’s hearing lasted less than 25 minutes. Stewart had a chance to tell the court the location of his estranged wife’s body.
Instead, he said, “I’m innocent of these crimes. I hope you continue to look for her, if not for me but for the children, so they know
what happened to their mother.”
