Murder…too close to home.
I woke up this morning and flipped on the television. Normally, when I wake up, I like to have the news on in the background to get a general idea of what’s going on in the world. For some strange reason today I turned on News12, which is the local station for Long Island. I woke up to this story:
Missing person case turns into murder probe in Glen Cove
(08/18/06) GLEN COVE – Police are investigating a homicide in Glen Cove that started out as a missing person case.Nassau police were first called to a house on Willada Lane Thursday afternoon. Police say it was determined that the missing person was a victim of homicide. The name of the person has not been released.
A man who was spotted outside the gated community in a blue car with Florida plates was taken into police custody. Police are continuing their investigation.
Knowing how my town works, I figured nothing would really be said about it for a little while. Until I checked into it later to find the rest of the story.
Glen Cove man accused of murdering neighbor
(08/18/06) GLEN COVE – Nassau police arrested a Glen Cove man Friday in the murder of his neighbor.Police say 30-year-old Evan Marshall killed retired school teacher Denice Fox in her home Thursday. According to homicide investigators, Fox?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s dismembered body was found in trash bins in Marshall?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s basement and in the trunk of his car. The case began as a missing person incident after Fox?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s daughter called police to say her mother was missing.
Marshall is expected to be arraigned Saturday on second-degree murder charges.
The key item that they failed to mention (and I have the inside scoop on thanks to my pull with the GCPD) is the fact that the decapitated head of this woman was in the front seat of his car.
Yes, this raging lunatic was driving around my town with a head in his front seat.
The deceased (Denice Fox) had just recently moved into town. She literally lived here for three weeks, the paperwork for the house was just recently filed. He sliced her up. There were pieces of her in the basement garbage cans, other cans around the street, and he had a foot in the trunk. Her head – (eyes WIDE OPEN) was in the front seat. He put it in a clear plastic bag after he drained it and strapped it in the passenger seat. She lived next door to his mother. He did all of this in the basement of his mothers house.
What could possibly bring a man to do this, I’ll never know. I won’t lie, a few handfuls of people have ‘shown up dead’ in town over the last 10 years and this is always on the back of my mind. I just never understood dismemberment…I don’t think I ever will.
Meanwhile…people wonder why I want to move out of Glen Cove so badly. Sure, this could happen anywhere. But considering the fact it’s happend more times than it should have – I’d prefer to be somewhere else.
Maine is looking SOOOOO much nicer every single day.
Holy Hell! This is why I don’t want you going outside alone at night Krissy! Smoke out your window PLEASE!!!
That is just… incredibly scary. I hope nothing like that EVER happens to you or anyone you know.
that is so scary! be extra careful if you ever have to go out at night.the city scares me, thats one reason why i like living in a small town.
Holy shit – that is insane. It’s fascinating in a gross way, what brings people to do that and then drive around with their victim’s head… hmm. A lot of times you hear that these people were straight A students. Grew up in nice homes with nice families and had good careers and then just snapped… it makes you wonder if that could happen to you, and what exactly goes wrong in your head to hack someone up.
Anywho….
Ah thats so scary! Murders like never happen here.. I guess we should be thankful for that. I’m going to NY in like 2 weeks, and I’m scared. Not because it’s NY just because it’s a new place that im unfamiliar with. He actually had her head with him? I get sick if i see blood, that’s just gross.
And the sad part is, he’ll probably plead insanity and get off easier, atleast that’s what usually happens in the strange even that a murder does occur around here.
Actually…no he won’t plea insanity – he’s already confessed (he had to considering the head was in the car) his Lawyer wants to play the insanity role but he’s not budging as to what he did. He just won’t seem to confess as to why he did it.
A ‘breaking news’ (according to my friend at the PD) he also raped her before he sliced her up.
oh that’s all just fucking gross. nothing like that has happened around here, we’ve had one missing person in the last 10 years. So Indiana isn’t all that bad afterall. I hear Maine is nice…..
Geez that’s spooky :/
I wouldn’t want to go out alone! At least they got him though.
The head bit freaks me out!
I used to live in Glen Cove until about 20 years ago. I grew up there and things were much more sane then. But when I was in high school a lot of teachers came to class high or drunk. A lot of the students came from problem homes. Anyone in authority trying to help the situation was shot down so to speak. The crime rate seems to have increased 100%. There’s gangs there now too. Don’t think it can’t happen to your community. It only takes one of your neighbors letting a freaky relative or friend into the neighborhood and there you go. It’s right in your back yard. Any freak anywhere in the world can be in your front yard within 24 hours. Peace!
This is a tragedy….such a sweet family. I wish them peace. I pray this sicko dies a very slow and agonizing death…he doesn’t even deserve a quick death.
