Breaks my heart that anyone could do such things to the most vulnerable in our community. I used to love true crime, but I've stopped being able to watch when there's elderly people, children or animals involved . I mean, it's ALL awful, but cases involving any of those 3 groups, just particularly affect me for some reason.

[@12thDecember]

It's not unusual for someone who commits a horrendous crime to refuse to admit to it and not reveal where the body of the victim is. The family never has the peace of properly laying their loved one to rest, of saying a final goodbye. I'm guessing poor Annie suffered and died from lack of medication, and Winn just let her die rather than risk being caught. And of course he eventually _was_ caught. What an evil, pathetic man, to do something like that to such a kind woman.

I'm afraid she died fairly early into the situation. I dont think he accounted for her illnesse and her need for her medication or accidentally left the meds behind in the scuffle. I then believe she passed away because she did not get those meds. After she passed away I think he panicked , did away with her body, and tried to make it work without her but it didn't go too well. I don't see him as a cold blooded killer. However,I do see him as an incompetent kidnapper who tried to cover all his bases but never even thougt of the biggest component of all: her ill health.

I worked in Deland and lived in Saint Petersburg. Random. Deland is a sleepy town close to the east coast and saint petersburg is way on the west coast. crazy the lengths to which humans will go. I wonder if the FBI would dedicate this amount of man power today? how do they pick and choose. Feels like the FBI of the 90s and todays FBI are probably very much different. These days they seem more politically driven. sad

[@katmanluke7187]

I myself live just north of DeLand, & visit fairly often. So I too was wow how close they finally nailed this scumbag. I'm pretty sure her husband's massive wealth played a huge part in getting so much FBI resources on this case. No other explanation for that really. I mean, the man finally coughs up & mailed out nearly a million dollars in checks to what could've been a dead end to nowhere. I imagine the fact his shrewdness as a business man likely led to his wife's fate surely riddled him w/guilt to his early death. Just really sad all around. DeLand still has more character than many larger cities & quite a storied history, but a sleepy town sadly no more.. Certainly not Orlando, but damn sure not a Mayberry. The police dept stays very busy unfortunately. Traffic is pretty bad anytime it''s daylight. The usual, only those.greatly benefiting from would dare call "progress". Mainly builders & those collecting permit fees to foot the exorbitant city govt salaries. All the clearing of what has to be the last large tract of oak forest complete w/rolling hills on the north side to build residences is sadly a prime example. Many locals objected but they still approved it.

I am from Rochester NY and have a few stories you may be interested in. kali poulton, a 5 year old who was kidnapped and murdered in the early 90s. She was a Family friend of mine whos father grew up with my mother. Was such a big deal in my city and her body wasnt found for 5 years after she went missing. They blamed the dad but it ended up being a neighbor who should of already been in prison, because YEARS prior he had bludgeoned an elderly woman to death with a hammer! another one of a guy named WILLIAM SPANGLER who killed his sister, lit the house on fire, when fire dept and PD came he sniped as many of them as possible before taking his own life. the girl who got him the gun use to sleep over my house during high school! her name is Dawn and she just finally got out of prison for it.

[@katmanluke7187]

Crazy they nailed him in DeLand, FL. I live just 20 min north & visit there often. I can only imagine the anger & pain of having a loved one kidnapped, never finding or knowing what happened to her. It clearly broke her husband's heart & caused his early death. To do this to an elderly woman that had absolutely NOTHING to do w/any of this beef takes the most heartless of scumbags. It truly sucks they never found enough to convict him of what became of her, but his smirks at sentencing says it all. He knew he'd just gotten away w/what he most feared being punished for. Murder. Regardless his motivations to deny her children what became of their mother or where she is, there's a specific place in hell for evil like him & it's not pretty.

Either way, crimes against senior citizens, or anyone unfairly matched are especially cowardly.

He opened up a franchise, and didn't pay the fees to the person who owns the business, which is a standard part of any franchise. If your franchise goes under, you have to repay the assets you owe. How did this lawyer not know that. If he didn't have the money to do so, then he should have sold his car or other assets, or declared bankruptcy. There are risks associated with being a franchisee and this is one of them. It WAS just business, but this jerk made it personal and went to great lengths for retribution he felt was owed him, even though the business failure was his own, costing this innocent woman her life. Since she was alive to write the letter I bet she died from not having her medication which would have been a painful way to go, on top of being scared.

My friend had a dream about Annie and kind of freaked out when she searched up her name (Annie Laurie) and found out that she was a person.

1988- Mississippi- Robert Hearin was 78 and his wife 73 year old Annie Laurie Hearin was missing and feared kidnapped and Robert called the police ! No ending and considered legally dead in 1991 and never been found.

It's in the video itself that he was 71

The whole case is very bizarre. But I find it very heart breaking that these two were married for 48 years, it's very unfair this poor man doesn't have his wife buried next to him. I know their souls are together in heaven but physically she should also be next to him. SMH. 🙏🙏💔💔💔💔🥺🙏🙏

He got out of jail and lived another 6 years. I truly hope those were lonely, hard, poor, painful years!🤬

"Annie Laurie" is a Southern compound name, so she was always called Annie Laurie and not just plain Annie.
