Judy Mae Greer Murders Child to Sleep
Next stop for Judy Greer: Hell.
GREENVILLE, S.C. — Greenville police said that a 2-year-old was girl was shaken to death by a relative on Monday.
Officers were called the Greenville Memorial Hospital Monday morning where a doctor told them that the child, Jakorsha Dodd, had been brought into the emergency room at about 11:15 a.m. non-responsive and in respiratory distress. The doctor said Dodd was treated for injuries consistent with shaken baby syndrome.
Police investigators said they interviewed 51-year-old Judy Mae Greer, a cousin who was in the child’s home caring for the toddler. Greer told police she tried to rock the child to sleep. She said she shook the toddler until she became quiet and still.
Disgusting. Judy Greer is pretty much either the dumbest cretin in South Carolina, or pure evil. Either way, rot in Hell, Judy Mae.
Angela Langley Says She Shot Rodney Shane Babb as He Tried to Rape Stacey Patton
Police believe all three may have been taking drugs. I commented on the oddness of this story before, now it just keeps getting odder:
Laurens County Sheriff Ricky Chastain said it’s an unusual case because of having two female suspects.
“It’s very rare,” Chastain said. “First, two women murdering an individual — and then trying to dispose of the body added into that. That’s something we haven’t seen here in Laurens.”
Chastain said that Babb, Patton and Langley may have been using drugs.
According to the incident report, Langley said she shot Babb because he tried to sexually assault Patton.
Chastain said after the women left Babb’s body in the mobile home, they then rented an SUV and bought supplies to clean-up the mobile home that belonged to Patton’s family.
Investigators said that Langley and Patton went to a man and asked him to help them get rid of the body. Instead, the man turned out to be a confidential informant.
Confidential informants are usually criminals who secretly tip cops off to crimes and gather intelligence for authorities in exchange for leniency or money. The fact that the women knew someone who was a C.I. who also just happened to be someone they thought would help them get rid of a body tells me they were shoulders deep in criminality. I’m thinking they were addicts and this is starting to sound like either a trick turned bad or a argument amongst addicts over cash, but as more details come out we’ll see.
Two Women Found with Corpse Charged with Murder
What were they doing with the corpse? We don’t want to know but police are now theorizing that the gruesome twosome killed the man, left, then came back and hung around the place with the body. Whiskey. Tango. Foxtrot.
From WYFF:
GREENVILLE, S.C. — Two women found with a dead man in a trailer are now charged with murder.
According to Lauren’s County Sheriff’s Office, Rodney Shane Babb was shot to death early Friday morning.
The body wasn’t discovered until Saturday afternoon.
Investigators said the women now charged with Babb’s murder, 26-year-old Angela Marie Langley and 19-year-old Stacey Nacole Patton, were found with the body in an abandoned mobile home at 207 Jacqueline Lane in the Ware Shoals area.
Deputies believe the two shot and killed Babb early Friday morning inside the home, left the body, then returned to the home Saturday.
Yikes. Fox Carolina is reporting that the 32-year-old victim died after arguing over money with the pair, and the women returned to figure out a way to dispose of the body. Tragic, but at least that explanation for two murderers returning to visit the corpse of their victim doesn’t make my skin crawl.
Hmmm. A 32-year-old man has two women, one 26 and one 19, in his house who he’s arguing over money with. What ever could the motive be?
Via Crimenews2000 this Index Journal report has more details, including the fact that the almost 40-year-old had an relationship with the teen Stacey Nicole Patton:
Laurens County Sheriff Ricky Chastain said investigators think the two suspects picked the victim up Thursday night and brought him to the trailer owned by a member of Patton’s family. The victim’s car was found on Indian Mound Road in Ware Shoals, and he had possibly run out of gas.
“Some time during the night we believe they shot the victim in the head and left the scene,” Chastain said.
A .380 caliber handgun, believed to be the murder weapon, has been recovered, he added.
Friday the suspects rented a car in Greenwood and purchased cleaning supplies in Simpsonville, Chastain said. Laurens investigators received a tip on the murder Saturday morning and began surveillance on the two women, who led them to the trailer.
Chastain said the suspects were inside the trailer with the victim and the cleaning supplies when deputies arrived.
Though the motive for the murder is unclear, Chastain said the victim and Patton had a relationship.
“We’re not sure for how long, but for some time, but an off and on relationship,” he said.
Chastain said more charges are pending.
As a commenter at WYFF said while I was reading about this story, no drugs involved here!
Greenville Shooting Death Under Investigation
A 28-year-old man was found dead in his Greenville home Wednesday afternoon, and deputies are unsure what led to the shooting.
Two friends found the victim, identified as 28-year-old O’Dalyer Jones, unresponsive with a gunshot wound to the abdomen. They attempted CPR, but were unable to revive him. An autopsy will be performed Thursday to identify the cause of death. Deputies are calling the case a “death investigation”.
The body was discovered around 3 p.m. at 205 Edgemont Ave. just off of West Blue Ridge Drive. Witnesses reportedly saw a white sedan speeding away from the decedent’s home right before the shooting was reported.
Please contact Crime Stoppers at 23-CRIME if you have any information that might be connected to this crime.
No Prison for John Ludwig, Jr.
In a ruling issued today, Circuit Judge James C. Williams, Jr. rejected a motion by the 13th Circuit Solicitor to consider a tougher sentence for John Ludwig, Jr.
Ludwig pleaded guilty to reckless homicide in November 2009, and will serve three years probation and 500 hours of community service. 62-year-old Frederic “Bill” Bardsley died when Ludwig’s car slammed into his home. Ludwig’s attorney’s claimed he lost control of his speeding vehicle when he swerved to hit a deer.
Judge Williams reaffirmed the original sentence, noting Ludwig’s lack of a criminal history and sincere “remorsefulness for his misconduct,” as well as the sensational media treatment of his crime. The judge also wrote:
A number of impressive character witnesses testified on behalf of Mr. Ludwig. His life has been characterized by hard work, kindness, generosity and unselfishness. The court believes that the community is better served by punishment that allows Mr. Ludwig to continue to use these traits as a working, productive member of society than by any sentence that would hinder his further contributions.
13th Circuit Solicitor Bob Ariail, who filed the motion for reconsideration, released a statement Friday expressing gratitude for the court’s consideration of the motion and acceptance of the decision.
Ludwig also pleaded guilty Friday to assault and battery of a a high and aggravated nature in connection with a 2008 incident.
Benjy Brown, the victim in the assault and battery case, told the judge how scared he was the night Ludwig broke in his apartment in July of 2008. Brown was romantically involved with Ludwig’s ex-wife at the time.
“It was clear that he wasn’t there to talk to me. He was there to hurt me,“ said Brown in open court. He claimed Ludwig has not followed his bond at all. Brown says Ludwig contacted him over 50 times and offered to pay him for dropping charges.
Brown says his life is “forever changed” by what Ludwig did.
So much for Judge Williams’ assertion that “Ludwig has no criminal history.”
His sentence of five years (suspended to three years probation) will be served concurrently, resulting in no additional penalty.
