The Susan Murphy Milano Show: "Paradise at Anna Maria Island Ended in Murder"

Anna Maria Island is located on the Central West Coast of Florida, tucked in between the tropical blue waters of Mexico to the West and Tampa Bay to the North. It's not just amazing vacation spot and where couples around the globe plan their wedding, but, Anna Maria Island is the home of an unsolved homicide.

The case is unsolved for only one reason, the Bradenton Beach Police Department, one detective in particular, refuses to allow the case to be re-opened.  In March of 2011, the medical examiner changed the death certificate of Sheena Morris from suicide to "undetermined."  This is new information and warrants this case to be properly investigated.

On January 1, 2009 Sheena Morris was found, deceased, in a hotel room at the Bridge Walk Resort in Anna Maria Island, Florida.  According to crime scene photos, and Dr. Michael Baden and Dr. Michael Berkland expert opinions, Sheena Morris was murdered; the bathroom where she was found a "staged crime scene."  


This time of year is Anna Maria Island's biggest season. Tourists from around the country bring their families to this amazing vacation paradise. Couples spend their honeymoon on the beaches. Shops and restaurants benefit from the dollars spent by the visitors.

Sheena Morris was a visitor, as matter of fact the Island was her favorite place to vacation or get-a-way for a few days. But, she never left the island, a victim of intimate partner violence that lead to homicide. Sheena was taken out in a body bag from her room at the Bridge Walk Resort.  




Tourism dollars also pay for the salaries of the Bradenton Beach Police Department. Comforting isn't it, a murderer known to detectives is sharing the beaches with the tourists this summer, perhaps buying you a round of drinks at a popular island bar or restaurant, or, if you own a home, laying your carpet.

On the Susan Murphy Milano show Time's up we will be discussing tourism, fun in the sun and the murder of Sheena Morris with her mother, Kelly Osborn, who has fought for her daughter's murderer to be arrested, only have the doors slammed on her family by the Bradenton Beach Police Department.

The Susan Murphy Milano Show: "Re-Broadcast" Seeking Truth and Justice for Sheena Morris in Bradenton Beach, Florida

 

Listen LIVE at: Here Women Talk

The mother of murdered Sheena Morris, Kelly Osborn, will join us for the hour and update listeners on what’s happening in her pursuit of truth and justice for her daughter.

On January 1st, 2009, Sheena Morris was murdered in her hotel room, yet authorities quickly labeled it a suicide.  She was hanging by her neck in the shower by one of her Yorkies’ dog leash.  The crime scene was questionable as were the circumstances surrounding her ‘sudden’ suicide.

Sheena placed a call to 911 the night before reporting domestic violence by her dangerous boyfriend.  She even took pictures of her injuries,  a cut on her neck, and one on her ring finger.

The people staying in the next room called 911 the night before her murder to report the domestic disturbance and sound of violence next door.

Sheena Morris had obtained damaging evidence on alleged illegal activities. Shortly before she died, the keys to her apartment were taken, she was physically attacked. You would think that the 911 call she makes to police would have an impact on the investigation, or the other facts of significance in her death that are just now surfacing, but they do not.

Sheena’s family has continued their investigation to seek the truth in the death of their only child/daughter. After the exhumation of Sheena’s body and a 2^nd autopsy the medical examiner changed the Manner of Death to Undetermined. Although in affidavits by Certified Criminal Investigators stating that Sheena’s death was a “Staged Crime Scene” not a suicide the Bradenton Beach Police refuse to re-open the investigation.

The family of Sheena Morris are not giving up the fight for truth and justice.  They are petitioning the Governor of Florida to re-open the investigation with the new evidence.

Crime Wire Investigates :The Sheena Morris case-Bradenton Beach Florida 9:00 PM Eastern time

Crime Wire Investigates!

The Sheena Morris Case

Tuesday, August 2, 9pm ET

Listen LIVE: http://www.blogtalkradio.com/crimewire/2011/08/03/crime-wire-investigates-tuesdays-900-pm-eastern-time

Join the Crime Wire Team as we welcome Kelly Osborn, (Sheena’s Mother) and Dr. Michael Berkland, the Forensic Pathologist who, along with Dr. Michael Baden, re-examined the medical examiner’s reports and both agreed that Sheena’s death was not a suicide. The family has since been able to have the manner of death changed to “undetermined.” The authorities in Bradenton Beach, FL are not willing to re-open the investigation, even though there is this new evidence.

On January 1st 2009 Sheena Morris was murdered in her hotel room, yet authorities quickly labeled it a suicide. She was hanging by her neck in the shower by one of her Yorkies’ dog leash. The crime scene was most fascinating as were the circumstances surrounding her ‘sudden’ suicide.

Sheena placed a call to 911 the night before reporting domestic violence by her dangerous boyfriend. She even took pictures of her injuries, a cut on her neck, on her ring finger.

The people in the next room called 911 the night before her murder to report the domestic disturbance and sound of violence next door. ……(Dr. Laurie Roth)

Sheena Morris had obtained damaging evidence on alleged illegal activities. Shortly before she died, the keys to her apartment were taken, she was physically attacked. You would think that the 911 call she makes to police would have an impact on the investigation, or the other facts of significance in her death that are just now surfacing, but they do not. Not even the 4 banker boxes full of files, copies of ledgers, key names and dates and other information, seen carried from the out of the apartment according to witnesses by none other than the last person to see Sheena Morris alive.

Instead, her death is incorrectly ruled a suicide by a Bradenton Beach police department who likely failed their instructional crime scene 101 class. The County Sheriff’s office, who have more experience in death investigations of intimate partner homicides, should have been called in to handle this case, and because of the association to organized crime with the Genovese family…….(Susan Murphy Milano)

Sheena Morris: Special Investigation Part 2: Intimate Partner Homicide

The above photo is not from the TMZ site of the stars, but a mug shot taken at a police station while being booked in Pinellas County, Florida on 6/27/2009, at 12:01:17 PM, for domestic battery- 6 months after the death of Sheena Morris.

Two weeks ago the medical examiner's office changed the death certificate of Sheena Morris from a suicide to now "undetermined." That alone is enough for the Bradenton Beach police department to formally request Manatee County Sheriff's office to take over with the new evidence in this case. But, Bradenton Beach Police and the Mayor are giving the family lip service, telling them to "have a lawyer contact them if they wish to discuss their daughters case."

The family has already spend thousands, upon thousands of dollars hiring forensic experts and investigators providing law enforcement with the facts. These very people elected and sworn to uphold the law are now kicking this family seeking justice as if it were disposable garbage. In the meantime, a murderer is allowed to roam free in the community.

According to the forensic reports the "crime scene was staged." I should point out this is a pattern of conduct consist with intimate partner homicide murders.

The report continues :

"Domestic homicide committed by offenders who are criminally inexperienced and who are therefore unaware of the appearance of a genuine crime scene. Their inexperience coupled with the likelihood that they attempted to alter the crime scene while agitated or in a highly emotional state, inhibits their ability to think clearly. As a result, individuals who stage crime scenes often make unintended errors, termed "red flags", that reveal the scene is inconsistent with what is attempted to be demonstrated.

"The case represents a death in which the crime scene was altered to stimulate an intentional suicidal hanging."

Police do not interview the last, and only, person in and at the crime scene for 22 days. He shows up with Sheena's family, it's 80 degree weather, wearing a full length turtleneck, likely covering marks left by Sheena Morris as she was fighting for her life. Is it because of his connection to organized crime that no arrest is made?

The family has fought an uphill battle for the truth. Their daughter was murdered. At the very least, so that someone else is not killed, the Bradenton Beach police department need to refer the case out to Manatee County.

The driver's license of this individual whom, in my opinion , murdered Sheena Morris, lists his address in Indian Rocks, FL. The same area where police cadet Kelly Rothwell went missing on March 12, 2011, after she ended her relationship with David Perry, a former New York correctional officer. Her remains have yet to be located.

Coverage will continue for this case this week on the the nationally syndicated, The Roth Show (www.therothshow.com) on Wednesday, at 7:00 PM Eastern time, 4/20/2011

On the "Time's Up" show (listen here) we discussed the case in greater detail with Kelly Osborn (Sheena's mother); Sol Vocarro (friend of family); and Tom Shamshak (former chief of police and private investigator)
