Unsaved people can be extremely self-centered.
THAT'S IT???? WHY NOT SAY WHY HE KILLED HER! SOMETHING!
Why did he kill her????????
Is they failed to investigate this case fully at the time it happened
Cracked the case indeed.
WHY!!! Son needs to go pay his dad a visit and ASK him man to man why he killed his wife and the mother of his kids!!!
We need the whole case break down not 4 mins
Those investigators are lazy ,they're like ' can't solve this case so we throw it in the cold case files "
Folks are mad because the whole story isn't told…it's a 4 minute clip, soooo….🤔🙄🤣
Lazy narration…
Ummmm why? What a waste of time.
Dude got 14 years for killing someone
Imagine having to tell the kids that, "Grandpa killed your Mom." 🥺💔
Hmmmm.. 🤔, Was the Father n Law even being looked at as a Suspect?make me think hewasnt even on 👮 radar, hmmm
Why and how did the father-in-law kill her?
These are shorts meant to entice you into watching the full episodes. For anyone interested, all of the episodes are also available on a podcast. I listen on stitcher but I'm sure it's on others as well. It's under A&E Cold Case files.
Wow. She looks just like me when I was her age… and I had a creepy step-dad too. And we all lived in PA, not far from Altoona. This hit home for me. Prayers for her family, I'm so sorry for your loss… 😪
Cops are usually very good!
Heartbreaking that it took so long. Thank God she can finally rest in Paradise.
This short game me more questions than anything. What was the story with the father in law??? Why did he admit to it? I need more about this case!
Her family should impose the sentence on him that he should have gotten if he ever gets out. This guy shouldn’t be using oxygen.
So wait… they say that the investigators "cracked the case" but they didn't. He confessed. Probably offered it as a plea deal.
Why? Such a beautiful young lady murdered for no reason other than a sick jerk.
So I really hope father-in-law enjoyed the 14 years of freedom before confessing. And I really hope he is plagued with guilt the rest of his life. He should have to look at pics of her and her three kids every waking moment of his life. He didn’t destroy the life of one person, but families, including his own family’s lives.
What a sad way to go, because you and your Father-In-Law at an argument about nothing in particular. He got so mad that he killed her. Wow what a creep! 3 small babies will never see their mother again!
Sometimes the lazy attitude of officers is destructive to families, we need more police, more funding for better educated officers.
What kinda story was that? Didn't tell me nothing.
Sad story with a good ending. At least there is closure. Was interesting to watch. Great video
Well this one was rather underwhelming . Cliff hanger
May she continue to rest in peace.
Saying detectives cracked the case is a stretch
Evil always attacks the innocent first
Hopefully her brother gets him when hes released and we see that on here.
What a loser

Whites for ya
The father in law got 7-14 years as part of a plea deal to show police where he buried the body. He's been up for parole a few times now but Sherry's family is determined he serve out the full 14 years.
