GUILTY FL - Steven & Michelle Andrews, both 28, murdered, Fort Myers, 27 Dec 2005

[Mama-cita]

My other question, and I am only thinking like I would think, but are Michelle's parents angry that Steven's indiscretion ultimately caused their daughter's death? I know no one is perfect, but if it were my daughter, I would probably be upset and I know I would want Luke with me.

 

[montana_16]

I know I would be. I think most parents just couldn't help feeling that way if their innocent daughter ended up murdered and their grandson orphaned over it.

 

[Mama-cita]

I would feel more entitled to having Luke as Michelle's parents seeing as how Steven's infidelity is what left Luke orphaned in the first place!

I AGREE - This must be terrible for all involved.

I would love for this case to have it's own forum! I've been trying to follow it too-it has me intrigued. My questions:

What does Kellie look like now? Steve's wife was so fit, and really cute and, from all reports, really loved him.

Who put the moves on the other in the Steven/Kellie mess? Or did it just kind of happen?

How long an affair did they have? Is it true they broke it off, but started seeing it other again just before the murders?

When did Michelle find out about the affair?

What are Kellie's co-workers perceptions of her?

Do pictures of Outside Productions' Christmas party exist?

Did Fred confess to Kellie? Did he threaten to "go over there and kill him?"

Does Kellie feel any guilt for her part (my opinion) in this?

How did the crimes unfold? Did Fred break in? Did someone answer the door? Did he really rape Michelle in front of Steven? Was Steven in fact "dismembered"? If he WAS "dismembered" did they find "it"?[/QUOTE]

Idahomom, just curious about that statement. I gave up trying to keep up with that other forum. Did that information come from there?

Yes, it did. And, I don't know if it's just speculation or not...

I did...lol

I read somewhere that they did not expect any further charges against him....SO does that mean maybe there was no rape of Michelle??? I will see if I can find the article & post it....be back in a few.....

A Lee County grand jury is expected to hear the case of the Gateway murders when it convenes Wednesday in Fort Myers.

In the meantime, sheriff's officials are releasing the 911 tape of the emergency call that started the investigation.

The call sparked national interest when the sheriff's office said it was made by 2-year-old Luke Andrews. The bodies of his parents, Steven and Michelle Andrews, were found in the Gateway home Dec. 27.
-----------------------------------
news-press.com will post audio of the tape as soon as it is available.

The grand jury, which conducts deliberations in secret, will determine what charges would be leveled against suspect Fred Cooper in the deaths of Gateway couple Steven and Michelle Andrews.

By Florida law, any potential premeditated murder case must go before a grand jury. If the jurors decide Cooper, 27, should be indicted on two counts of first-degree murder, State Attorney Steve Russell would decide whether to seek the death penalty.

The grand jury will receive all the evidence the public doesn’t know yet, such as how the couple was killed, what physical evidence has been collected and potential witnesses in the case.

anything new? I see that the grand jury convened last Wed... guess I better read further - only got to page 8... LOL! Another case I'm late getting into!

Prosecutors weighing death penalty


From the article:

Cooper was indicted by the grand jury on two counts of first degree murder and 1 count of burglary.

Fred Cooper pleaded "Not Guilty" today at his arraignment. The trial is tentatively set for April although the judge says this is an unrealistic timeframe given the circumstances.

Does anyone know if any recent pictures of Kellie have surfaced?

My sis just told me she had a friend on the grand jury. The sick SOB that did this apparently raped the woman in front of the husband and then strangled her. But, not before he cut off the man's "member" and supposedly police found it lodged in his own mouth. Oh yeah, this deserves the death penalty. Maybe this whacko will be sent to general population, one day.
Although I lack sympathy for the cheatin' hubby...nobody deserved this sadism. Especially the poor wife, and now orphaned child.
This one is just so hard to fathom.
Love and prayers for little Luke.

I have read that it was a gruesome crime scene as well as the rumors that Steve's "member" was cut off. The killer was sadistic and enraged, to say the least.

Have you heard how the killer gained entrance to the home? Some are speculating that there was a break-in through the back sliding doors while others are saying that Michelle, the wife, let him in through the front door.

oh my God, that is just sickening!

 

[lostfaith]

That is awful! Why take it out on the wife! I cannot believe no one has newer pictures of Kelly yet. You would think some gossip mag. would have gotten one.

 

[petra]

This is just plain awful. EVIL.

Think of when their son grows up and learns about this...such agony.
I think this is one time were I would consider changing his identity and moving far, far away until he can even begin to comprehend such evil.

fellow classmates, neighbors etc. will all know about this and can cause him such pain without really meaning to.

 

[MistyGirl]

OMG - I had heard rumours that that is what happened but I hapoed it was not that gruesome and horrible. This poor woman the terro she must have gone through. Poor sweet Luke.
