Daughter of missing Hernando County woman always suspected stepfather in 34-year-old cold case

Deep down inside, Kelly Carpenter always knew her stepfather was responsible for her mother's disappearance more than three decades ago.

"I always thought he had done something to my mom, yes," she said Monday.

If convicted, Mackey will either face the death penalty or spend the rest of his life in prison.

"I feel grateful that he's being held accountable," Carpenter said.

I just saw this one today, may be the same article, but wanted to post it anyway. So happy that this man is in jail and the family can get some justice.

Heard about this case on another thread...

It's been over a year since he was arrested. Have there been any updates on a possible trial date?

So Meryl did go to jail, he never told where Evelyn was buried, just recently he died in jail. It was about a month ago I think. I just never thought to post here because he was convicted. He only got about 5 years I think but it was enough that he spent his last few years behind bars. I hope there is a hell for his after life so he gets what he deserves. I only wish he would have let her daughter know where she is, so she could bring her home.

What a piece of person that Mearl Mackey is... serial killer, thief, swindler... maybe how many more people did he kill and was never prosecuted... I hope he died with the greatest pain possible for being a piece of scum in Evelyn's life... and the bastard never confessed where he left the body... I hope you're rotting in hell...
whatever the case
rest in peace
