The human remains found in a back yard have been identified as a missing Marion County woman. Heather Strong, 26, and mother of 2 children, was last seen Feb. 15, leaving her job at the Petro truck stop in Citra.
The husband has been using Heather’s credit cards since she disappeared. What struck me as interesting was that friends of Joshua Fulgham claim he’s not capable of murder.
My question to the friends-If he was capable of beating and abusing his wife, it is likely he had something to do with her murder. Who else who know to bury her body in the backyard of her girlfriends mothers home? Clearly it was an individual who knew the area.
The woman’s husband is now in custody for using her debit card, after she was reported missing. The card was in his possession. He had used her debit card and charged hundreds of dollars of merchandise.
Fulgham has been arrested twice on charges he assaulted Strong. But friends said he's not a killer. "I really don't think he's done something like that," friend Brian Lotshaw.
On Heather’s MySpace Web site, she said that leaving Fulgham "is the best decision I've ever made."
Police said Fulgham and his new girlfriend are both considered persons of interest in the case.
Heather Strong lived in the town of MacIntosh, Florida. Perhaps once formal charges are brought against the person(s) responsible for her murder a program can be implemented to save the future women in this community. Married or in a relationship with an abusive partner. Creating a safety plan with a road map in memory of Heather Strong.
If you are in an abusive relationship prepare the abuse affidavit (example below) and video as provided in the book "Time's Up". Please visit my website at http:///www.susanmurphymilano.com. Or you can email me at murphymilano@gmail.com
