Sheri Coleman, sons Garett and Gavin murdered 5-5-09, Columbia, IL. Pt1

Analytical- Please don't take this the wrong way. I'm genuinely curious I'd like to know what your thoughts on this case are? You seem to be very adament that Chris didn't kill Sherri and the boys, and so I was wondering if you had any other theories, suspects in mind, etc? Anything that we may be overlooking? Thanks!

I just have a minute to post this (I have to cook dinner)

Chris is no longer bulked up like he appears in the old family photos that are online. He is thin now and has his hair grown out.

Chris went to the Police Station today to give them his fingerprints.
He is still not being called a suspect.

The house was released back to Chris today.

Chris was staying here in Chester with his family and may still be staying here with his family.

The lawyers he hired are some of the best and most expensive in the area.

I'll be back online later this evening.

Thanks for the laugh Wrinkles! Much needed after this frustrating afternoon!!!

Medusa... will I know you by the snakes in your hair the next time they announce a presser and we have to drive out to Columbia so Oprah doesn't get interupted? LOL.

Probably. Actually, I don't even like snakes. I don't even recall why I picked Medusa as a screen name about 12 years ago and decided to use it for crime BBS and forums.

I wonder how long he has been growing his hair back? At least he doesn't resemble Mark Hacking as much with hair. Probably a good idea right now.

With JMM, you just never know. Not saying anything negative, they've just been investigated a lot over the years and you just never know what goes on behind closed doors... or gates as the case may be.

As for the security there, that's pretty much standard these days not being allowed onto the property of large corporations. Ever since 9/11 security has tightened everywhere... try to get in at Monsato, Pfizer, Boeing, Rams Park, etc.. around here... you can't! Security stops you at the gate and you must be verified to even enter the grounds (trust me, was in sales/recruiting for ever before having my little ones). So I don't find that strange in the least that they're that secure.

Who knows what really happened that day, but early signs sure point directly at one person right now.

I know this much - She has built a huge empire and her teaching is very focused on "living a blameless life". I do not know how far a lunatic would go to bring her empire down, or how far she will go to protect her image.

It is not at all unusual for Evangelical organizations (as well as secular ones) to do damage control and sweep it all under the rug. Either way, lunatic revenge, or lunatic security guard, I don't think this one is going to sweep to easily.

Chestergal- welcome to Websleuths. Thanks for your insight

Could be. Your first post that I saw about this was on post 558 and did address anyone in particular, and subsequent responses were referring to cooperating with LE, so It appeared to be addressing Chris cooperating with LE? Which is why I responded that IMO, JMM's request would probably not include LE as that would be OJ.

Yes, that would be OJ but he was the real killer :woohoo:

and your reference to OJ .. obstruction of justice

Welcome Chestergal!!!!! Do you have any idea how he's (who is) paying for the attorney?

Is his the weight loss recent? (Did he lose it quickly?)

Weight loss could point to a number of underlying factors; health issues, stress, intentional dieting, drugs etc.

About, CC not addressing the public........
I'm trying to remember if I heard any of the family, her side or his speak-out.
I would think someone would become the family "spokesperson".
IMO

So, do we know if in fact Chris regularly worked out at the gym? Or was this something he suddenly decided to do that morning?

I think we know this is a regular routine.
Also, like to add. On my cool monitor, I can see he did have hair, it's just so light it's hard to see. Plus it's cut really close to the head.
IMO

That's what I thought. At least I was pretty sure this was said early on but not sure if it has been changed.

Yeah, maybe he needed to use the GYM shower......

Lindaannette,

Since the case is "high profile" .. it could have been taken on by Margulis as pro-bono .. it happens sometimes in cases that are considered "high profile" .. but I've read nothing concrete as to what the arrangement or retainer agreement is between Margulis and Coleman and the fee arrangement/retainer/representation terms may never be publicly disclosed.

I don't recall it being mentioned either way.

However, in that line of work...I would hope a person would keep themselves in fit condition. It would be hard to chase down those wacko anti-evangelistic types if not, eh? :run:

Photo here from Destiny Church's website announcing the financial planning class the Coleman's hosted in their home last year. They were members for about 2 years so this photo could be anywhere from recent to two years old.

Hello All,

SuziQ, seems I recall having read that this gym thing was a pattern of his -- along with calling family at X'oclock AM.

ChesterGal, welcome to the gang!

Hmmm...okay, so if Chris is not so bulked up as in past photos, was he really "not" going to the gym on a daily basis? Of course, the Gold's account would probably show that eh? I don't think it is likely that anyone loses bulk in just 6 days of trauma, do they?

Medusa -- when I was a little girl, if my hair wasn't combed, my mother would go tell me to comb it because I looked like the Medusa. Thank goodness I never saw a rendering of Medusa at that age, nor until much older, I might have had nightmares!

And to all -- I can't imagine a triple slaying not being CRIED OUT about by the family (scratching head.)

Also...family vigil photos here

Edited: I am not criticizing the family, just wondering if they know something we don't.

It would be interesting to know if he did take a shower after his workout at the gym before calling LE. It would be even more curious if he took a shower before his workout tho. LOL

I'd also like to know his regular work hours - which would coincide when he would regularly work out if it was a routine with him. You'd assume an overnight shift would be 11pm - 7am (overnight shift / "midnights" like LE); so 5:30 would be unusal for him to be there.

So would I. I have heard that he customarily works nights (but not exact hours) and that he worked various hours, that he traveled with JMM and also that travel was only occasionally, that most of his work was at the compound, so I would like to hear for sure.
