New Indictments In Christine Sheddy Murder: Clarence “Jr” Jackson and Tia Johnson Face Bond Hearings Today

Blink — Wed, 25 Apr 2012 14:28:52 +0000

Snow Hill, MD- In August 2009 www.blinkoncrime.com began an investigative series on the disappearance of Delaware resident and Mother of three, Christine Marie Sheddy.

Sheddy had been missing since November 2007 following a phone call to her best friend Jimmy Quail who offered to pick up her and her two young sons immediately.

With the help of Christine’s Mother’s dogged determination, the investigative efforts led to the recovery of Christine’s remains buried on the grounds of a Snow Hill bed and breakfast.

Murder charges were filed against Justin Hadel on the day Christine was found, February 20, 2010.

Hadel was convicted and sentenced to life without the possibility of parole in September 2011.

It was through a failed plea obligation that Jr Jackson was able to be indicted by a grand jury yesterday and is now charged with first degree murder, as well as conspiracy to commit murder.

Tia Jackson, his long time girlfriend and cousin of Justin Hadel, is facing accessory after the fact charges in the removal and disposal of Christine Sheddy’s remains from the Byrd Rd farm where she was murdered.

Reached at the home where she and her husband Steve are now raising Christine’s children Haylie, Isaac and Zeke, Lynn Dodenhoff was not surprised in the least.

..”I told you Christine always had one more thing to say.. and today she did.

My family and I look forward to justice being served to all parties involved in my daughters murder..”

Dodenhoff began writing to Christine upon the advice of a grief counselor and shared her letter from yesterday exclusively:

Dear Christine,

I was sitting in a court room today with a family that had lost their daughter to murder. She was just like you Christine. A mother of three, just like you. Her name was Whitney Bennett. She was killed, stuffed into a trash bag and buried in a shallow grave and not found for 4 months. Her family longed to know where she was, just like we did. But today there was Justice for Whitney. Her murderer was found guilty of all charges.

So many memories came over me. I remember when you went missing. I remember how I felt when I couldn’t find you. I remember having such a feeling of despair entrenched in my soul that it hurt physically. I remember knowing in my heart of hearts that God would let me find you. I cant explain how I knew, I just knew.

Today we got the news that a Grand Jury indicted Tia and Jr. in connection with your murder. Junior is charged with 1st degree murder, conspiracy, accessory and 3rd degree burglary. Tia was indicted for accessory and 3rd degree burglary. We will have our day in court Christine. I will not rest until everyone responsible for taking you away from us are held accountable. I promised you many years ago that I would never again let you down.

I hope that you can see that I have kept my promise and that I hope you are proud of me.

I am proud to be your mom and thankful that God let me have you for as long as he did.

We all miss you Christine. Your children are daily reminders of who you are. Thank you for giving me 3 wonderful grandchildren. They will always know that you loved them more than life itself. You will never be forgotten.

I love you and wait for the day that I can wrap my arms around you and tell you just how much I have missed you.

Until that day comes we will continue to fight for you and keep your memory alive. You were always worthy of Justice.

Love Forever and Always

Mom

The Crime Review 2011

January- David Anthony Durham shoots police officer after playing hookie from work in anticipation for an arrest, his house is located in the grid search for missing 7 year old Kyron Horman. **Unsolved, **Unrecovered

February- “Onda” Chris George- featured in a cold case investigative report in November 2010, Chris was recovered on February 21, 2011 . **Unresolved Possible Homicide

April 1 2011- Successful prosecution and life sentence of James Hattaway. No April Fools joke. Hattaway, a suspect in the disappearances of Onda Chris George, and Tracy Ocasio, was convicted of attempted murder of Rachael Clark .

The alarming violent abduction of 20 year old student Holly Bobo. Miss Bobo has not been located and their have been no updates by the TBI in her case for several months. No named person of interest in the case. **Unsolved, **Unrecovered

May- Terrorist leader Osama bin Laden is executed upon refusal to surrender by US Navy Seals.

May/July- The trial of Casey Anthony resulting in her acquittal in all changes except 4 counts of lying to police. Ms. Anthony has been renamed the C-word by www.blinkoncrime.com and recently released her first video diary as a blonde with a really bad cut.

June- Disappearance of Jacque Waller, wife of former cop and general con man Clay Waller. Jacque has not been recovered, but Clay is in prison on unrelated charges currently and the couple’s children are in the custody of Jacque’s family. According to Clay’s dad , he has already confessed to her murder.

June -Successful prosecution resulting in a life sentence for the murder of Christine Sheddy, a 5 part cold case series developed in 2010 and featured on BOC for the purposes of progressing her case. Justen Hadel, one of the primary suspects in the case ending up confessing, and our information was correct that Christine was murdered on the Byrd road property. I spent a day on in 105 degree weather followed by a mini-hurricane on this hell-hole property I will never forget. I continue to seek justice in the hope a prosecution will follow for Clarence Jackson and Tia.

July/August 2011- Celina Cass missing, and recovery of her remains. While it is presumed a homicide, her cause of death has not been determined or released. Wendell Noyes, her stepfather is the only non-official person of interest. Celina’s mother left him while he underwent psychiatric care upon the news of Celina’s recovery. It is my solid opinion that Wendell is involved in Celina’s death and disposal of her remains in a water treatment (). There have been no arrests or indictments in this case to date.

August 19, 2011. West Memphis Three- Two days after I wrote a series about the murders of 3 8 year old boys in June of 1993 by 3 teenage boys known as the West Memphis Three, all three plead guilty to an alford plea after the state agreed to a deal proffered by the defense team, funded by the Hollywood elite. So far, Reese Witherspoon has been cast as Pam Hobbs, mother of Stevie Branch. In November, the parents wrote a letter to the Chair of the AMPAS documentary committee asking that they not con sider the HBO commissioned Paradise Lost 3, Purgatory for an award. We featured the entire letter as a front page on the site, in support.

September 2011- The Susan Powell case- The roller coaster of we found remains, wait, not remains, but former remains in burned wood chips. The subsequent arrest of Susan’s freak in law

October 2011- The disappearance of Karen Swift, mother of four. Karen was located on December (), and has yet to have her autopsy completed or her remains released. Sheriff Box of the Dyer County Sheriffs Office has not named a suspect, but it is widely known that the primary person of interest is David Swift, Karen’s recently estranged husband.

Missing 10 month old Lisa Irwin- No new anything in this case, since Joe Tacopina of Joran VanDerSloot fame took the case to represent the parents. A lead developed from Deb Bradley’s phone produced a juggalo chic whose phone was called in what is believed to be in the middle of the alleged crime, and did ping close to the Irwin residence. Megan Wright’s former boyfriend known as Jersey was subsequently arrested for tampering with a vehicle. She claims not to know anything in the case and that her phone was used by several members of a household she was since asked to leave.

Amanda Knox Acquittal- what many did not know about the prosecutor will change most of your opinions in this case. Blink dubs Giuliano Mignini “The Mike Nifong” of Perusia.

November/December: The Nittany Nightmare-

Over 40 counts of child sexual abuse are filed in an indictment against former PSU offensive coordinator and Second Mile founder Jerry Sandusky. Tim Curley and Gary Schwartz are indicted and held for trial for perjury in their grand jury testimony. Mike McQueary stands firm in his testimony during the preliminary hearing. Blink uncovers a possible insurance scandal paying the legal bills.

Re: Identification of Human Remains

On February 26, 2010, the Office of the Medical Examiner for Maryland advised the Worcester County Bureau of Investigation that the human remains located in Snow Hill on February 19 were the remains of Christine Marie Sheddy.

Sheddy has been missing since November 14, 2007. Since that time, the case has been handled as a “missing person” case by the Worcester County Sheriff’s Office and the Worcester County Bureau of Investigation. Assisting in the investigation is the Maryland State Police and the Office of the State’s Attorney for Worcester County.

No cause of death has yet been determined. All involved law enforcement agencies are treating this as a suspicious death.

Because this is a pending investigation, no further details will be disclosed at this time.

Arrest of a Familiar Name

Not to correct SA Joel Todd, but Christine was last seen the evening of November 12, 2007, which is believed to be the night she was murdered at the Byrd Road Farm.

While I respect the release, I have first hand knowledge that 3 detectives from WCBI were removed from this case so you will not find me congratulating that agency. Out of respect for Christine and her family, I will leave it at that for now.

Justin Michael Hadel, a guest at the farm home shared by Clarence “Jr” Jackson and his girlfriend Tia Johnson, was arrested yesterday in Tomball, Texas on a child obligation and fugitive warrant.

There is no further comment on any possible involvement in Christine’s murder.

Clarence Jackson is currently incarcerated in Hawkins County, TN for a burglary and arson conviction.

Christine Sheddy Murder Exclusive: Statement Released From Christines Mom

Blink — Thu, 25 Feb 2010 01:10:34 +0000

Snow Hill, MD– As we await confirmation from the Baltimore Medical Examiners Office regarding the remains recovered from the rear property of the Riverside Inn on February 19^th:

Lynn Doddenhoff, Christine’s Mom, wishes to make the following statement.

We DO NOT have confirmation that the remains found in Snow Hill are Christine, but we remain hopeful that they will be identified as such.

When Blink and her team became involved in Christine’s case we were at a dead end.

Thanks to Blink’s efforts, public awareness was raised to a level that forced law enforcement to take a second look at her
disappearance.

Christine, my family and Blink have endured many personal attacks we never deserved.

As we await word from the medical examiners office, we ask that you please pray for our family and the entire Blink team.

Without the tenacity of their work Christine’s case would never have received the attention she deserves.

This will be the only statement I will make until official confirmation is made.

Lynn
