March for Justice in Tampa Florida for Sheena Morris on Sunday July 29, 2012

If you have been following this blog, you're familiar with the case of Sheena Morris, age 22 murdered in a hotel in Anna Maria Island, FL on January 1, 2009.

The intial death certificate stated cause of death as "suicide."  The lack of experience by the responding "detective's" at the crime scene make  the character created on the Andy Griffith show- Barney Fife look like a genius.

I presented the Sheena Morris case including the original  crime scene photo's at the Indiana Coroner's Annual conference this past weekend.  The response of over 400 deputies and coroner's in attendance, the photo's clearly indicate homcide.  Why hasn't the case been re-opened since the medical examiner changed the death certificate to "undetermined?"

I explained to the audience that the City of Bradenton Beach, Manatee County and State of Floirida are refusing justice because they are afraid of being sued by the family of Sheena Morris because they flucked up the entire investigation.

If you can come out, lend your voice show support or re-post this on your twitter and facebook accounts, it will show a collective force of action in the name of justce4sheena.com .  The family is asking for the case to be re-opened.  Bradenton Beach Police are refusing to do their jobs!

Update on unsolved case of Sheena Morris

On January 1, 2009, Sheena Morris was found dead in a hotel, hanging from the shower. Her then boyfriend was not arrested at the time, and would not be questioned by Bradeton, Florida officers for some 22 days later.

Sheena Morris placed a call to 911 hours before her death 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 of the hotel also called 911 before her murder to report the disturbance and sound of violence coming from the room next door.

Shortly before her death, the keys to her apartment were taken and she was physically attacked. The keys are an important part of this case because Sheena Morris had criminal information that would implicate the last person to see her alive. It doesn't help that the dangerous and criminal boyfriend also has direct ties to the Genovese family and he can be placed at her apartment carrying out boxes with the stolen keys taken from Sheena just before he staged her death to make it look like a suicide. In March, her death certificate was changed from suicide to undetermined.

Murder Beyond Words

This past mother's day Lisa Freiberg, her seven year old son Zachary, two year old daughter Savanah and the family German shepherd were each brutally murdered. Lisa Frieberg's live in boyfriend Edward Covington was found by police hiding in one of the kids closets. This man chocked, beat, and stabbed each one of his victims. After they lay dead in their own blood, Covington proceeded to mutilate the bodies. At lease one of the victims was found with their head decapitated. Covington remained inside the residence until he was arrested by police.

Covington had prior arrests and was on parole. He was by all accounts a violent man.

He was arrested in 2005 on an animal cruelty charge, but that case was not prosecuted. A 911 call led Tampa police to Covington's home at the time and they found him face down on his living room floor, crying. Police found three dead, mutilated cats in the home.Covington's father, Ronnie Covington, told police his son suffers from depression and bipolar disorder. He has said his son was distraught following a separation from his wife. Ronnie Covington, his father is a detention deputy at Falkenburg Road Jail in Florida.

According to and ABC news interview Covington's ex-wife said she feared him. "My wrist was broken in four different places," she said. "He threw me against walls. He choked me."She says that violence started shortly after the two were married and only got worse over time.

For months she stayed, mostly because she says she was afraid to leave. She claims Covington's battle with mental illness went mostly unchecked and claims he told her two weeks ago that he wasn't taking his medication.

Covington also talked about breaking up with his current girlfriend, Lisa Freiberg."He told me that he did not want to be with her," the ex-wife said. "That he was trying to get rid of them and he didn't know how."

Then Sunday morning Covington left her a message that got her attention."To call him," she said. "That he really needed to talk to me and he was in really big trouble."Covington never picked up the phone when she called him back.

The next day, she learned about the murders. Now, as her ex-husband sits in jail, she says her biggest regret is never getting the chance to share her story with Lisa Freiberg."I would have told her about his violent side, to leave.

I feel that he's capable of murder. I really did, but I never thought he would do it."Covington's ex-wife said she did report the abuse to authorities while they were married, but he was never charged. She now says she is prepared to testify against him when this case goes to trial."

If we learn anything from these horriffic tragedies it is that women must do more to arm themselves with backround information before they involve themselves in a serious relationship with not only a violent abuser, but, a person who depends on medication in order to function among the human race.

If you are in a dangerous relationship, please contact the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence. The call is free and confidential. The number is 1-800-799-SAFE.
