1994-08-13 HIGH RISK ACT

What qualifies as a high risk act, I wonder?

This lunatic wasn't released early was he? I'm astounded that he's had so many disciplinary problems in prison.

Hi JerseyGirl,
I'm interpreting it as projected release date 4-4-99 but actual release date 1-4-99. I'm not sure what they consider high risk but how unfortunate that Inman was not more successful in his self injury attempt!

Wow, so it's not like they didn't realize what a danger this guy was. I can't believe that we see this issue so much and nothing seems to be changing.

This appears to be a recent photo. The photo shown in the video and yesterday evening did not have this scratch. I bet it is a fingernail dig.

Call me naive, but I didn't realize that she was bound and sexually assaulted (raped?).

LE solved this case faster than any case I have ever seen. You really have to give them a lot of kudos.

This guy's mother said that he was working in Tennessee. How far is South Carolina from Tennessee. Also, I was assuming that he was working construction at the site adjacent to Tiffany's apartment complex. I figured that he had seen her from that site.

My bad. :blushing: It is however a different photo from the other one that they have been airing because there is no blemish/mark on his left cheek.

I really think it depends on the type of conviction. If it is related to your work - then an employer can choose to not hire. i.e. if you have been convicted of embezzlement - a bank would not have to hire you.

I'm going to check - but some legislation - I believe was passed in Ca relative to sex offenders and working at a school. This was as a result of a very sad incident that happened at a Sacramento High School. It might have been that a school can't hire until the background check is completed. Everything that we can do - I feel should be done.

I totally agree that we really need to look at how sex offenders are handled. From sentencing to parole to monitoring. There is just too many incidents of repeat offenses - light sentences and a poor child or young adult pays the price. When are judges - parole boards etc going to get it?

LOL... my hubby is always saying "my bad"... too funny!

The guy Inman was a fighter not a lover :doh: His disciplinary actions reeks of propensity towards violence. Even an attempted "self injury" <--- (albeit unsuccessful )

I imagine he often had wounds but none he would wear as well as the wounds Tiffany's dad might inflict if given the chance. :bang:

 

[englishleigh]

I think the kidnappng charge is in place because she was bound at her wrists and neck. I am glad that one is off the street but they better be checking for unsolveds too. His mother also said that he would take off for a couple of days at a time.....stalking/peeping his prey, probably.

They are trying to link him to another recent unsolved sexual assault in another state as we speak...and I can't believe there aren't others. I also don't believe Tiffany is his first homicide. :sick:

I totally agree. He seems much too violent for this to have been his first time.

Who knows if this self-injury was a ploy to get him a trip to the hospital where life may be a little easier on the prisoners??

No Doubt! Three hots and a cot probably better in the hospital than the big house. He served time for two escapes, as well. Might have made a go for it again in transit...

S.C. Slaying Suspect Waives Extradition

Davenport said Inman has been talking to investigators.

"He didn't know the victim," Davenport said Wednesday. "It is our information he was driving around in the (victim's) neighborhood and saw her and he liked her looks."

Souers, a 20-year-old civil engineering student from the St. Louis suburb of Ladue, Mo., was wearing only a bra when she was found May 26 on the bedroom floor in her off-campus apartment. The bikini top was still around her neck and her wrists and ankles were bound.

Inman was registered as a sex offender in Florida and North Carolina. Davenport said his department had been told by South Carolina authorities to look for Inman, whose family moved to the area from Florida in 2000. Authorities staked out the relatives' homes and spotted Inman driving by in a red Chevy Blazer around 11:45 p.m.
Chief Deputy Bob McCoyg pulled him over and arrested him without incident.

"His vehicle had several items in it that were related to the crimes," McCoyg said Wednesday.

Looks like he will be charged with attacks on other women.

[englishleigh]

Why do you guys supposed he killed Tiffany? Did she fight him too hard and make him angry? Did she pull off a mask or bandanna and get a look at him? Was he getting excited at the thought of killing a victim?

This is a bit O/T but I am really surprised at the post that mentioned her apartment complex supplied panic buttons in all the apartments. Is this typical of apartments these days? I have never had one of those in any of my apartments, nor have I heard of it before. I especially wouldn't have expected to hear of one in a Clemson apartment.

I am so thankful that Tiffany's parents can watch this horrible excuse of a human be charged for this horrific crime. Does SC have the death penalty? Also, I wonder what items were found in his car relating to this crime.

There has to be more victims. This was too aggressive and brazen an act IMO.

Alleged Killer of Tiffany Souers Arrested in Tennessee - The Crime library

... In Hillsborough County, on December 14, 1987, Jerry Inman had committed sexual battery with a weapon or force, robbery with a deadly weapon, burglary, grand theft of a motor vehicle, aggravated assault with intent to kill, and kidnapping.

... Inman was finally convicted and on September 5, 1989, he was sentenced to 30 years in prison.

... convicted in North Carolina on September 26, 1988 of another sex offense. ... Inman was sentenced to a maximum term of 20 years. According to his record, Inman tried to escape twice, and had at least 24 other unspecified infractions. For North Carolina's purposes, Jerry Inman's sentence was up in January of 1999. A 2nd degree sexual assault netted Inman 11 years of a 20-year sentence in North Carolina, and this was apparently served concurrently with his sentence in Florida.

... Bren Souers, Tiffany's mother, expressed a measure of relief at news of the accused killer's capture. "We're moving in the right direction," she said, "We can move on with how we put the pieces together in our lives without our little girl."

Some of the newer apt/condos have built in security systems, and one has the option of purchasing a separate 'panic button mechanism'. Even with a security system (which also have panic buttons), one has to be able to get to it.

When I am staying here alone, I always have the 'panic button' within reach.

SC does have the death penalty, per the news last night.

I pray this piece of crap, pleads guilty and spares Tiffany's family from having to suffer further through a trial. Someone on FOX mentioned this monster/raper/killer could have a mental disease defense defense ---I say fry him!

Question: If he does plead 'guilty', could he still get the death penalty? Probably not huh?

 

[OriginalJerseyGirl]

Someone on FOX mentioned this monster/raper/killer could have a mental disease defense defense ---I say fry him!

An article I read earlier quoted his mother as saying that he's bipolar and has been suicidal from time to time. I'm absolutely positive that they're going to try to spin a defense from that.

Anderson Independent Mail: News (this isn't the one but it also mentions the statement by his mother):

... When Jerry Inman was released from prison in Florida last September, the state prison system registered him as a sex offender as a prerequisite for his release, said Tom Berlinger, chief media spokesman for the Florida Department of Law Enforcement.

Another requirement was that he provide a DNA sample for the Florida Department of Law Enforcement’s DNA database, which became one of the two DNA matches made to crime scene evidence, Mr. Berlinger said...

The site lists tattoos of a skull on his back; a tiger on his chest; a skull pentagram on his left hand; a skull dagger on his left leg; a bat on his neck; a skull, dragon, cross, and "memory of broth" on his right arm; a skull on his right hand; and a female gun on his stomach...

Mr. Inman’s mother, Vera McArthur, told The Greenville News that her son is bipolar and often suicidal and had no idea South Carolina authorities were looking for him...

I just wondered b/c apparently he raped two other women in the days immediately prior to killing Tiffany, one woman in my own state. :::shuddering::: I agree that probably just raping wasn't enough for him anymore. Poor, sweet Tiffany.

Damn the judge or parole board who let this out of prison in 9/05 to the pit of hell.
