Boiling oil murder suspect turns herself in

[jobycom]

HANCOCK COUNTY — Wanted for more than a week, Edna Mae Sanders, 45, turned herself in to authorities here this morning facing a murder charge for her alleged involvement in the cooking-oil killing of her husband.

Police believe Sanders poured a pot of hot grease on her husband, Sherman, while he was sleeping at their Diamondhead home July 28, just seven days after their one-year wedding anniversary.

Sanders’ older brother, Lawrence Miller, told police she knocked on his door last night in Gonzales, La., carrying a suitcase and crying. After a few hours of talking, Miller told investigators, he convinced her to turn herself in.

Sherman Sanders, 53, a U.S. Navy retiree who worked briefly in the human resources department at Stennis Space Center, spent a week clinging to life in an Alabama hospital, with third-degree burns on more than half of his body. He died this past Friday.

Police had not been able to find a motive, but investigators are expected to speak with Sanders later today. Hancock investigators have said Sherman Sanders recently considered getting a divorce.

1. Good! n/t

[BOSSHOG]

2. I guess she figured she was in hot water

Thanks for that info. I feel safer now (really.) We are just a few miles up the road from Hancock County.

3. As long as she didn't head up to Saucier

my family was safe. Not that they seemed overly concerned. I do have friends in DeLisle, but since they aren't married to her, they didn't seem likely to be in danger.

5. "in hot water"? Poor taste, bro.

Which isn't to say that I didn't snort coffee everywhere.

[BOSSHOG]

6. Hello Mr Coffee

We found us a bag of Seattle's Best French Roast down here in Mississippi and do enjoy it. It is rather pricey though but it compares favorably to New Orleans best. Hows that for good taste?

[MrCoffee]

8. It's better than that chicory garbage

Ugggh...Community Coffee. Nuff' said.

[BOSSHOG]

9. I invite

you to Cafe Dumonde on Decatur Street to enjoy Cafe A'ulait and beignets. A gift from the gods of decadence.

Or you might want to order some to enjoy at home:

10. Did you say Cafe Du Monde for beignets and cafe a'alait?

(The shadow on the table is mine)

[MrCoffee]

11. that's just mean...now i wanna go to du monde

[jobycom]

14. There are two types of people in the world

The ones who are at Cafe Du Monde, and the ones who aren't. You and me, my friend, are in the wrong group at this moment.

[MrCoffee]

17. So now you're just going to pour salt in the wound?

What did I ever do to you? :cry:

[jobycom]

25. Hey man, c'mon, I wasn't pouring salt

Just powdered sugar and some coffee.

[BOSSHOG]

16. Ahh come on down Mr Coffee

MMMMMMMM. You'd love it, you know you will.

[MrCoffee]

18. I'd love to, but they won't let me on the plane.

[BOSSHOG]

13. I especially enjoy the ambience about one in the morning

when you can almost see Andy Jackson's statue moving and the occasional cab whizzing by Decatur. Where the din from Bourbon Street is barely detectable where Marie Lavou is awakening for a few hours of mischief.

[jobycom]

15. Yeah

Many have seen it thus, fewer remember it thus.

[madmusic]

4. She was a battered woman.

Even if she wasn't.

[mark414]

7. what? maybe she's just crazy...

[jobycom]

12. No one knows, or no one has said, yet, what the motive might be

[DistressedAmerican]

21. Bullshit. You have NO Evidence of that. NONE.

Even if she wasn't what?

Here's more like it, EVEN IF SHE WAS, that is no fucking excuse. But, there has been no indication of any such thing.

I am so sick of people blaming the vicitim in this case.

She is a monster. There is NO EXCUSE at all for any such behavior short of actual in the moment self-defense. Since he was sleeping, that is clearly not the case.

Stop making excuses for this woman. She is a vicious murderer and deserves to be treated like one.

Have some freaking compassion for the victim. She melted his fucking skin off for christ sake! Stop trying to blame him. It is total bullshit. Offensive.

Why so desperate to excuse these horrific actions?

[Kazak]

24. I think this was just a (BAD) joke...

Battered...deep fried...har har...

:shrug:

[madmusic]

27. I know. I know.

But that will probably be her defense, even if she wasn't.

[Freedom_Aflaim]

22. Yea, Im sure she has her excuses all mapped out

[DistressedAmerican]

23. Didn't need to. People are all too ready to assume her excuse...

and accept it with NO evidence of any such thing.

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

19. Good. Lock Her The Hell Up And Eat The Key.

[WI_DEM]

20. I feel bad for everyone connected. What a terrible thing to happen to him

and what could have happened to make her do such a thing?

[pitohui]

26. he said he wanted a divorce

first wife said he's a good guy and they were still friends, that there was no hint of abuse, but he made a mistake in marrying this woman that he didn't really know and that he was making plans to get away from her

some sociopaths can mask themselves and be really, really charming -- until they don't get their way

that's all we know now, at least the kids have been found and are safe from this witch
