It's insane how the system fails victims again and again and again and again. You'd think they could learn from their mistakes...

I know what you mean it is so frustrating to see repeat criminals keep getting out back out on the streets to commit more crimes. Glad she has been identified and he is in jail now though hopefully they can keep him there now.

They'd have to believe those are "mistakes" in order to learn from them and therein lies the problem.

ITA! I wish I had better sleuthing skills. I'd love to know more about his 18 arrests since 2011.

Rest in peace, Sharon. Justice is on its way. My thoughts and prayers for her loved ones.

This article explains some of his arrests since 2011
Man accused of Madison County murder has 18 arrests since 2011
Also found this article that explains her connection with him apparently she met him when he was in jail with her son and she bailed him out of jail just two weeks before she went missing. This is so sad she thought she was helping someone in need and this is how he repays her by taking her life. How low down and horrible can you get. UGH

Alabama man arrested 18 times charged with killing woman who bailed him out of jail

TY, @Dylansmom08, for the eye-opening article! This sentence seems to imply he's got a crap ton more than 18 arrests. What a crying shame. MOO

Madison County’s jail policy limits public information on arrests for suspects until 21 years of age. Preston turned 21 in 2011.

Alabama man arrested 18 times charged with killing woman who bailed him out of jail

Sharon Copeland’s Facebook page indicates she had an ongoing romantic relationship with Preston long before his last stint in county jail. In multiple posts from last September, she professed her love for him.

“Charles Preston, my heart n soul,” she wrote on Sept. 6. “Ride or die. Always have, always will. Keep your head up, baby. I got you.”

"Ride or die" for him, she said. She did both, ride and die.

Will women never learn that they cannot help these people. I despair how some women are taken in by these men.
And he was in jail with her SON?
