Angel Downs Murder Trial Continues.....

The trial for Stephen Nodine, from Baldwin County,  Alabama, finally began this week .  The commissioner was charged with shooting his former girlfriend to death in her driveway on May 9, 2010.  The 45 yr. old realtor, Angel Downs, was found shot in the head in her front yard in Gulf Shores, Alabama. Neighbors heard shots fired and saw former (very married) boyfriend and elected (now removed) Mobile County Commissioner, Steve Nodine, leaving the scene in his county provided red pickup truck.


I wrote a post for the "Time's Up!" blog titled "Killing with a Borrowed Knife" and many comments were left by "no name cowards" on this particular post, (clearly the defense team)  continuing to discredit the life of Angel Downs by implying she killed herself.  It is common to place blame on a victim of intimate partner homicide or attack the messengers and writers of truth in these cases.  As an example, years after my own decorated veteran detective father murdered my mother in 1989, officers then and today, were and can be heard making comments such as, "she drove him to it" or "I don't believe it, your father was not capable of killing her, he loved your mother."  


That is what psychopaths do, according to Sandra L. Brown, M.A., author of "Women Who Love Psychopaths," they are clever at painting for the world with their brand of manufactured self serving lies.  They are dangerous individuals and, yes,capable of killing.

Take a moment to watch the video. It talks about character assisination of victims who have been silenced and, in my opinion, Angel Downs is no longer alive for a reason beyond her control, she was murdered in cold blood.


The trial is expected to continue for a couple of weeks and here are links to follow live trial twitter feeds with News 5 Anchor and Reporter, Jessica Taloney :  http://twitter.com/WKRG_Jessica#

Intimate Partner Homicide Investigation: Monday September 27, 2010 at 9:00 PM

Lisa Shuttleworth has been missing since September 4, 2003 from Beech Island, SC.
The mother of two was supposed to pick up her son, Ryan, at the bus stop after school that afternoon, but in her stead an older family friend was there to meet him. Returning Ryan to his home, they found it locked and no sign of Lisa, although her car, along with a car she had borrowed, were still in her driveway. After Lisa's parents were called they all entered the house and found no signs of struggle, and the only thing missing was her purse. It looked as if Lisa planned to return shortly, even a pot of tea was on the stove, her jewelry on the kitchen counter.

Lisa was a single mother, an excellent mother according to family sources, her two children knew they were loved, well taken care of, and that she would never leave them of her own free will. So what happened to Lisa?

And on May 10, 2010 Wendy Stevens cautiously went about her day. After work, she picked up her kids and at 6:45 p.m. was at a drive-thru ATM, with her four children in the car, when five rounds of gunfire blasted into the SUV, killing the 36 year old mother 36-year-old mother from Mobile, Alabama. Immediately after the shooting, an all-points bulletin was issued for the now-armed and dangerous Berry. He was apprehended and charged the following day with Wendy's murder and held on $500,000 bond.

Justice For Angel Downs and a "Committment to Convicting the Lady Killer"

While Stephen Nodine enjoys his freedom via house arrest until he is brought to trial for the murder of his former girlfriend Angel Downs, a news station in Mobile Alabama thought enough of this woman's sensless murder in my opinion, by a con artist apple pie politician to feature the campaign on the Internet in their news broadcast. A huge thank you to reporter Lauren Styler. Please help us by going to this link joining in justice and spreading the work on the "Support Justice For Angel Downs "Facebook page.

MOBILE, Alabama - Angel Downs was found dead three months ago outside her home in Gulf Shores, but bloggers and "Facebookers" are determined to keep her memory alive.

A Facebook Fan Page named "Support Justice for Angel Downs" is updated several times a week.

Page administrators claim to have an "unwaivering commitment to convicting her killer."

More then four-hundred fans, pictures of the fourty-five year-old real estate agent, and an extensive description of the crime are included on the site.

The home page also links to other local blogs, which criticize former Mobile County Commissioner Steve Nodine, who is currently suspected of killing Angel Downs.




WKRG.com News

Wendy Stevens and a Husband's Rage

Wendy Stevens went through a bank ATM machine, her four children in the car with her when five rounds of gunfire blasted into the SUV killing the 36-year of mother.

This was not a random act of violence. It was a husbands rage.

As I pen this post, it is the children who will be forever scarred by this single, life altering event. When a child witnesses the cold blooded murder of a parent. that vision is literally tatooed in them for the remainder of their days on earth. The repeated memory of these children will be of being helpless and watching as Mommy is shot,  bullets entering her body with lighting speed while buckled up in her seat slumped over the steering wheel.  It is the last picture they will have of their Mother.

In my opinion. no amount of therapy will prepare them for their life's journey. The months ahead will be cruel as they attempt to get through a single day without reliving this nightmare. The news coverage of this case will go on for months and perhaps years.



When the children return to school they will feel isolated and alone. They will not be able to cope with seeing parents drop off their school mates without remembering their mother. The kids will have difficulty in anything that reminds them of their interaction with their Mother. It is my hope that the community will rally around these children and embrace them gently as they take baby steps back into society.

That the adults in their lives will protect them from ignorant individuals. some who knew or were related to either the victim or the murderer, who show their lack of intelligence as they post inapprorpiate comments of this tragedy on various Internet sites. Repeating them here would be giving true ignorance a forum for folks who have no clue about Intimate Partner violence and homicide.

There is one Internet comment I will post from someone named Dixie 17:

"Wendy is my aunt and she was a great mother. She was a loving, fun, and caring person with a big heart. She had four beautiful children and she loved them with all of her heart; anyone who knew her could tell you that. It is such a tragedy that these young children had to witness their mothers death. I have met mike quite a few times and he is a twisted person. He has been arrested for strangling her so she put a restraining order on him. He was arrested again for violating the restraining order, and he continued to stalked her. I believe he deserves a whole lot more than the state of Alabama would allow. On top on murdering the mother of his two children he put his own child’s life in danger. So for those of you who posted comments in his favor need to look at the facts, and you may also need to talk to a counselor. Rest in peace my love, you are missed dearly"



[Case Overview-Wendy Stevens filed for divorce in January and she also had a court order of protection against her estranged husband who was, according to the judge's order. violent and stalking her. On Tuesday, May 11, 2010, as he killed Wendy, the coward fled the crime scene. On Wednesday Michael Berry was arrested and charged with her murder, on that same morning he was scheduled to appear in court for violating the order.]

Rest in peace Wendy Stevens and may God grant you the ability to watch over your children and direct their lives from the heavens.


Been there, done that…” Susan Murphy- Milano has turned a tired phrase into demonstrable realism through the gift of her newly published book, "TIME'S UP: A GUIDE ON HOW TO LEAVE AND SURVIVE ABUSIVE AND STALKING RELATIONSHIPS
