Died in Prison! He is the sex offender who murdered 9-year-old Jessica Lunsford! SCUM!

 

Tallahasee, Florida - Florida prison officials say the man who kidnapped, raped and buried alive 9-year-old Jessica Lunsford has died of natural causes.

Department of Corrections spokeswoman Gretl Plessinger said John Evander Couey, 51, died Wednesday at a Jacksonville hospital.

She said Couey had been ill for some time. She declined to provide any specifics, citing a federal law protecting the privacy of hospital patients. Jessica was kidnapped and killed in Citrus County in 2005. Couey was sentenced to death in 2007.

I hate to say it, but he should have been gone a long time ago.

I he had had more of a chance to rot in there, but at least he's gone.

I'm glad he's dead. IMO he should have been shot upon conviction.

I hope he was in agonizing pain and begging for death before it finally came. There is a special place in h*ll for people creatures like this. There is no amount of suffering he could have endured that could ever come close to what he deserves but none the less I hope he suffered.

I have a super weird story about this case....

 

So me and one of my best friends who was a reporter for CNN when the whole kidnapping / search / body found happened. Then she came to work at 10 and covered the trial in Miami. Well this chick is awesome dedicated to her job and Couey knew her from the coverage. So they wrote letters back and forth. She was always looking for him to say something worth reporting.

 

Anyway she rode with me once to Panama City for my other best friend's shower. Well we took US 19 north and you pass right by where the Lunsfords and Couey live and she was like OH, do you want me to show you? So we drove down the road where Mark and his parents lived and of course right across the street was the trailer where Couey was staying and where that poor angel died. Can you believe someone was living there????!!!! And of course this soooo Florida, a RED corvette was parked in front. Well we had to pull in the driveway to turn around and we saw the back where the stairs were , where her body was found and they were cemented now.

 

REALLY weird I know and twisted. But my girlfriend lived in that part of town for weeks! And I actually produced the 1 hour special the night she was found. And then I was the 6pm producer during the trial so I was very involved but never got to see anything in person so it was one of those stories you really felt attached too.
