Sheri Coleman, sons Garett and Gavin murdered 5-5-09, Columbia, IL. Pt7

[cleo612]

In part...maybe. I don't think it was for more hours or pay, but he wanted them to feel vulnerable and himself be seen as the security guy who would stick around in spite of the threats made making him so loyal. It will probably come out about how he took extra caution protecting everyone except his family (which would be great for the lawsuit).

If he gave LE a name of who could have done this...I wonder who he was setting up to take the fall for him?? One of his co-workers? One of his neighbors? Ooooo...maybe one of the prison penpals who had just gotten out before the threats started?

Bolded by me...

Remember, SS, law enforcement found letters from inmates on Chris Coleman's desk in the basement of the home.

I agree!!

I have to get something off my mind as well.

How odd is it that CC Dad was the one who told LE about TL?????

ITA. Makes me wonder if he knew about the wedding plans.

Let me tell you all about USPS PO Boxes.

Everyone that has a PO box gets a choice of paying for 6 months or 1 year's worth of box rental. Everyone pays on 6/30 and 12/31 if you pay every 6 months. If you pay only once a year you choose to pay on 6/30 or 12/31.

So if you open a PO Box on 3/1 - you pay the rental fee up to 6/30 (4 months worth) - Then right before 6/30 you are billed for the period of 7/1 to 12/31.

So CC was 2 days late paying his PO Box bill on 6/30 (He paid it on 7/2/08 - which would cover the rental fee from 7/1/08 to 12/31/08) - this would be why the Postmaster sent him an email reminder about his PO Box rental fee.

Now the receipt that was $36 is for a PO Box about 4" wide x 6" high for 6 months (so he was paying for his PO Box every 6 months) - The 4" x 6" box is the second size up from the smallest PO Box size they offer. Typically you can choose to have a combo lock entry PO Box or a Key entry PO Box (they offer both in the 4"x6" size)
The keys are stamped with Property of USPS and you only get 1 key to the box unless you ask for a spare and pay a deposit on the spare key.

The Postmaster would probably know if Sheri had come in at anytime to get mail from the PO Box and typically you have to add another persons name on the rental form if they are also going to get mail in the box. In other words CC would have had to add Sheri's name on to the PO Box rental form for her to legally get mail in her name sent to the PO Box - he could have done this without her knowledge but by doing this he also gave Sheri the permission to access that PO Box even if she did not have a key or combo to the PO Box. All she would have to do is go to the counter and tell the clerk she forgot the combo or the key and they would look and see if her name was on the rental form. If her name is on the rental form they would give her access to the box after she gave them some form of ID showing that she was Sheri Coleman.

Yes Sheri may have not known about the PO Box but I doubt it since a there was a Credit Card in a envelope with her name on it and the PO Box address attached to that Credit Card.

You cannot apply these days for a Credit Card using a PO Box - this started after 9/11. You must give them a physical address when applying for a credit card (this is federal law). After they send that initial credit card to you at the physical address then you can change your billing address to a PO Box if you like. Then when your renewal Credit Card comes in they will send it to the PO Box. (so the point is the Credit Card in Sheri's name addressed to the PO Box was a renewal card and not a new line of credit. (Credit Card).

My whole point of posting this is I think Sheri knew about the PO Box and I think she knew about the Credit Card. (It was sitting on a table in the bedroom) It is very possible that Sheri was trusting of CC and she let him pick the PO Box mail up all the time. If so CC would have nothing to worry about since he was the one picking up the PO Box mail all the time. To be honest CC probably took care of paying all the bills also in the home so he would be in charge of incoming mail.

I have no idea if she knew or not but this is not how my PO Box works at all. Our rental periods and billing do not work like that. I have a PO Box, the form lists who will receive mail at that address in one section, and then it has another section for who will collect mail from that address and requires your ID on file at that time. They will not give mail to anyone on the form with presentation of ID. I have also used mine for CC application address since 9-11, no issue whatsoever, activate it when it arrived with my address and security info. Some people do not have a physical address where mail can be hand delivered.

I've got to get something off my mind. IMO, Sherri and TL look close enough to fool a notary... just sayin.....

Which could very well make her an accomplice to this crime -- if she knew about it. This is why I think she's being kept under wraps (unlike Amber). I believe LE is taking a very close look at her and her coming and goings and do not want the media involved.

JMHO.

"The family has a photograph of Tara Lintz holding Garet with Sheri when she (Sheri) was in the service, so this is not some stranger and it hurts," Mirabelli said.

My guess is they asked. They already knew.

You do have a point. Why did his dad the Rev. know about Tara and the affair?

ITA. Makes me wonder if he knew about the wedding plans.

It was said the information about the wedding invitations came from his family, too. Were they pushing for this union? Did they dislike Sheri and the boys so much they were willing to put them aside for the new bride?
Let's not forget it wouldn't be the first time for the Rev. to do this. KC's nasty divorce happened and two weeks later the Rev. married him off to his GF.

Gosh, I should have reminded you, but I forgot, too. Oops. (They were a good read tho!)

I wouldn't put anything past this woman at this point. I think they are keeping the Notary under wraps for a reason. While it could be just to protect her if she works for JMM, it could also be for her testimony in both trials.

I accept FULL responsibility for doing that because I should have known better! A few months ago someone did that to me here (and others) and I was hopping mad! I thank for giving me mercy because I feel I deserve a time out on that one. I certainly know better!

It really does appear that CC was trying to follow in KC's footsteps. I wonder how much advice and guidance the family gave CC.

 

[SeriouslySearching]

I can't figure out why Sheri would signing her rights away. And while we can hope that she did have friends, who among them would've sympathetic to her situation... attempting to leave on of the town "golden boys". Sadly it is possible that Sheri reached out to Tara.
Sheri may have been in the same sitation as you were Stella. She just wanted out with the kids, no alimony, just a clean break

I still want to know if the house was being packed up before the murders. I can't get the laundry basket full of unfolded clothes in the back of her car out of my head. I have tried to think of any other reason for them to be there and have not come up with one yet. The only one that makes sense is if she was in a hurry to leave that night. She grabbed the basket of clothes in a hurry.

Sheri seems the type if she were giving them away to Goodwill or someone else to wash them and fold them neatly. You can see the brand new appliances in the laundry room so I would think they worked fine and there would be no need to take laundry somewhere else.

It will be intesting to find out what the computer forensic experts pull up regarding emails and messages between CC and MM. Look...if this guy was dumb enough to "create" the threatening letters on his OWN pc...well it would not surprise me...IF she was directly involved in the murders...that they recorded their dirty thoughts via email or IM's.

That being said....I am sure LE already has a grip on the computer forensics. She would not be walking around as a free woman now if her hands was directly involved.

How do we know she is walking around as a free woman? The media has not managed to ambush her for a photo or interview.

 

[SeriouslySearching]

I was going to post that line but you beat me to it. What a total betrayal of a friendship. Unbelievable. A true "*advertiser censored* ho". This is not some innocent woman whose only fault was believing the lies she was told, which I could understand and forgive.

This does NOT in any way diminish CC's responsibility for what he did. I'm just adding my contempt for TL ON TOP of the contempt I have for CC.

She was probably at their wedding. This wasn't some innocent affair by any stretch. She stole her best friend's husband right out of Sheri's bed and planned to marry him.

Like I said before, did "Aunt Tara" stop to think about how it would affect the boys knowing she married their daddy after kicking their mommy to the curb?! Tara had to know it would be devastating to Sheri, but can you even imagine what it would have done to the boys? They were not going to accept this union, imo. They were old enough to know what was going on in that respect.

Miss Motive.

 

[rockman]

I don't recall where I read it or heard it, but didn't he also call her before arriving home after leaving the gym? Was that just a rumor?

I think it is still rumor at this point. I read it on one of the boards. I don't think it was ever in an news article. But, I am sure LE has the phone records to prove/disprove one way or the other.

 

[Kimster]

Leaving for the day and will check in later this afternoon! :blowkiss:

If she had been arrested, LE or the media would have made it public by now. She is hiding, but I don't think it is protective custody. I think it is only to avoid the media scrutiny. (Sorry, she doesn't deserve a pass.)

The media have not done their investigative work in order to find her, imo. Too bad I am not in Florida because I would have her photos plastered all over the media. I would have become a paparazzo. (SNAP) I would also have found her frenemies and gotten the goods on her, too. She deserves no sympathy or anonymity, imo.

I am still curious how SouthernIllinoisman talked to people who knew all about Tara and knew she didn't work at the Tampa Gold Club etc.? (I still think it is her before her boob job.) Does this mean that people inside the organization of JMM knew about the affair and know Tara? Was the secret only being kept from Sheri and the boys? How did Chris manage to take her to Hawaii and Arizona? (I believe JM was in both places.)

You do have a point. Why did his dad the Rev. know about Tara and the affair?

Wow!!! That is cold.
