GUILTY OH - Summer Inman, 25, abducted & murdered, Logan, 22 March 2011

[liltexans]

I couldn't sleep last night thinking of Summer and her beautiful babies. I am just so sad. How dare them!

HOW DARE THEM!

I keep picturing how it might have gone down, maybe she was taken to the church and they told her she needed to be "reborn" or washed of sins or something and then they killed her.

I wish I could give all of you WSers, especially those that have been following this with me, a huge hug today. :hug:

Hugs to you, chasing.halos. This case has hit me hard as well. The callousness of this crime is so hard to comprehend. It haunted me all night as well and it's still on my mind this morning. I feel so incredibly sad for Summer and her children. They're so young. They won't even remember their mom most likely.

It's even possible that they were trying to "deprogram" her using some technique so inhumane it caused her death. All in the name of salvation, of course. How can so much evil be done in the name of religion?

Lots of evil has been done in the name of religion, since the beginning of time...

Dispatch Video of the Church, with a close up of the hole/cover which is located directly adjacent to the deck, and there are tire tracks thoroughly exposed in the mud there.

[Rhyme & Reason]

If the mother did provide the location on the body, it plays well into what I can see her defense at trial being: which is that she too, like Summer, was a victim of the men in her life (and the religious views they used to "justify" this behavior). Just my opinion at this time, but I can see that coming.

I doubt there were any cameras at the church, this isn't liekly an area where cameras (or even locked doors in many cases) would be considered necessary.

I'm wondering if she made a deal in exchange for the location of the body.

it sounds from the presser that YES she did!

Why are so many sick&evil things walking the face of this earth?..They're the ones who need to die but before they choose to take the life of an innocent person not after..Nothing, not even the DP, can make up for their sick&evil actions! That won't bring Summer back to her 3 babies..It won't keep her family from grieving for the rest of their lives..What's done is done..It can't be taken back..That's the sad & very frustrating truth.

Respectfully snipped . . .

End of days, my friends, end of days!

Her body was found in the "cistern-type" portion of the septic system, which was accessed by a steel cover secured by six screws, Miller said. The church is about 10 miles southeast of Logan.

The area near the church had been searched earlier yesterday as part of a general search along roads the Inmans were thought to have traveled after Summer was abducted, the police chief said.

Okay, so does that mean they only have to come up with 10% of the $1 million?

Why is John Skelton being held on 10's of millions of dollars of bond, for kidnapping his own 3 children, and these get $1 million (not to mention they just found the kidnapped victims body, presumably based on a confession?).

I realize that, legally, if Summer was only just discovered last night at 8:50 pm, and the court date for the Kidnapping charges was already scheduled for today, that there was not time to prepare, but, 10% of $1 million seems pretty low to me.

Can anyone confirm where the law is on this matter?

A bondsman, yes, will charge 10%. The caveat is that if they do run, the bondsman will have a bounty hunter come after them, ala Dog the Bounty Hunter. Of course, many bondsmen do not have a "dog" type at their disposal, so people really do flee and get far away.

I'm sure the judge has his hands tied with the bond amount. I'm sure the laws state the minimum and maximum amounts per charge. Yes, it is kidnapping, but JS was charged with 3 counts of kidnapping of children. Summer, sadly, is just one person and an adult.

I just PRAY they don't run, but I do think it is possible.

 

[Cubby]

I haven't been following this case closely but I was soooo hoping Summer would be found safe. I am so saddened to learn that was not to be. Prayers said for her family and children - and that justice will be served.

Just saw a news article on this one...and came here to see what I could find. How horrid!!

Why!!! There are somethings I will never understand.

 

[dr dona]

how fast can they be charged with murder????? Bond does seem to low- but what bondsman would offer them bond .....obviously there will be a murder charge coming down. If I was a bondsman I wouldn't risk this one!!!!!
