I’m a guy, but I assume the way she died is most women’s greatest fear, and to think her baby endured that, was too much for her to handle. I just hope her other 3 children don’t hold any resentment towards their mom because this was too much for her to handle.

Of course it’s her daughter’s rape and murder that she couldn’t bare to live with. Regardless of how her daughter, or ANY human being, for that matter, suffered prior to being murdered. When a loved one is murdered, it doesn’t matter how the murder took place because murder is murder. It’s the loss of the loved one forever that causes the heartbreak. Rape or not, burnt or not, doesn’t change a anything. At the end of the day, it’s about your loved one never coming back due to murder that eats at any human being. Murder is the most horrific, period, regardless of how a person is murdered.

Why do murderers fear being murdered yet they do it to others??

[@That_Trans_Kid]

Silly comment

[@amycountiss1356]

My heart goes out to this family. I cant imagine what they have gone through. The devastation of a family member being murdered and then to lose another family member to suicide is beyond heartbreaking. I hope and pray that this family finds some kind of peace and comfort. Thank you for sharing this video.

[@starb0rn]

Beautiful comment, thank you.

[@juliemason2551]

Your channel is a breath of fresh air to the True Crime genre. You bring new cases that are well researched handled with respect. Please do more ✅💕

[@Whats_a_ZJ]

That made me tear up when I heard her mother took her own life as well. I can't imagine the level of sadness that mother had to experience every single day without it going away, ever. Hopefully they're together now ♥️

[@civilpanda9422]

Rest in peace Megan. Such a tragic, horrendous end to a young life. An unfinished life set to help and aid the sick. All of this tragedy compounded by the sad ending of her mother's life, likely connected to the grief of losing her daughter. Evil, evil, evil. I am so glad they got him. He needed to be removed from society, never to return again.

[@bananacake9289]

I also feel utterly ‘beyond’ sad 😢 to hear about this awful tragedy 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️😡 Ideally I would like this scumbag to be COMPLETELY “removed” from this planet!! Just a complete waste of taxpayers money!! 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤦‍♀️ what an evil coward…. He was desperate to avoid the death 💀 penalty!! Despicable IMO (from UK 🇬🇧) 🙏🙏🙏🕊🕊🕊

[@APOLO-oq3ce]

May both mother and daughter rest in peace.

[@anushkanehra9486]

Your video are amazing and absolutely professional . You do justice to the victim's friends and family. I love your channel . Keep up the good work champs

[@themanhattanproject2471]

What a tragic story. You could feel Kelly's pain. Definitely bawling about losing them both to such a POS!!!

[@suzymanville232]

I was listening but not watching this video and could hear in her voice just how broken she was, and moreso as the case evolved. Some find their strength through these ordeals, but Megan's murder just took it all out of her mom. Her voice was barely a whisper by the end. Heartbreaking. He killed both of them that day. His wife set it up.

[@happytrails699]

This poor mother breaks my heart.

[@F1obsessedchica]

How in the hell did this monster have 21 felonies and not be in prison?? My god, 21 felonies!

[@olilumgbalu5653]

He was a police informant, that's how.

[@bmillz007]

I haven’t been this distressed and upset about a case in a very long time. I’m crying.

[@That_Trans_Kid]

Sure you were big girl🙄

[@saraB94]

Such a horrifying story and that ending with her mother tragic dead just really made me feel sad..

[@CJLOVE23]

This one of those gut punch stories with multiple sad circumstances. My heart truly goes out to that family

[@KathyAnne28]

I worked in Tullahoma and live 20 minutes from there. This case is and always has been absolutely heartbreaking, especially for her mother. Thank you for doing justice to the case and all involved.

[@malibubarbie9098]

I’m from Winchester and Tullahoma as well. I remember this case so well. 💔

[@petertomasetti3338]

U could narrate the phone book or a dictionary and I would listen all day. Ur voice is calm and soothing, perfect for this genre of video. This is one of the best channels on KZbin. High quality productions and great narration. Thank u 💯

[@melissab5806]

The brutality of this crime is just mind boggling! Also, it broke me seeing her mum accepting the diploma on her behalf and everyone standing up to show their respect.

[@suspiciousactivity4266]

Happens more often than you'd like to think.

[@XHikarixxx]

God I can usually get through the interviews with families of the deceased but something about the way Megan's mom is keeping it together and falling apart has me torn. The poor family, the poor girl. I hope Donny gets his ass handed to him in prison in a way where he is begging for release but will never get.

[@amariluna]

I love your voice, narration style and how well you cover these cases.

[@kellywalsh30]

Nice girl that Naomi “ididnt even like her” and i wouldnt have reccommended her for anything” nice bit of compassion for the victim there girl 🙄

[@ashleyw6160]

I found out my sister was found dead the same way this poor mother found out about her daughter. I saw a very short article on a news app I had downloaded.Normally, I wouldn't have been paying attention to it, but for some reason I decided to stop my video & click on that. We have matching tattoos that nobody else has bc her dad drew it for us. She was also found with nothing below the waist.💔 I miss her so much!!! 😔

[@judywright4241]

What a terrible thing to find out, so sorry for your loss, Ashley💕

Familiar with this case. You have definitely covered it the best. Very accurate and thorough. God bless her and her mom. May they have eternal peace 🕊️🙏❤️

[@benmcreynolds8581]

OMG, the mom is amazing, the daughter is amazing. That's just a tear ripping story. I'm just really heartbroken after that case. It's so unfair. I'm glad they caught the criminal. It's good that that drug dealer was so forth coming because it led to all of the connections and forensic evidence to the actual killer..

[@That_Trans_Kid]

The mom abandoned her children forever. Not that amazing.🙄

[@nikkiwho]

This story broke my heart, just knowing how her mother felt and then she committed suicide…so sad 😞 💔

[@verukasault9065]

How do you not have a million subs by now? You are a superb true crime KZbinr, definitely in the top 5!! Well done yet again. 🎯💯

[@wilzzuu]

that many felonies including attempted kidnapping of two ladies, and he's still allowed to be free to commit these crimes.. such a great system you guys have

[@Night-Jester]

Seeing the pain of the sweet mom is rough :( Hope she and her daughter are reunited and have peace.

[@sethjacobs6441]

Oh my dear God. The mother's suicide just makes this case even more unbearable. Rest in peace, you two kind and loving women. I have no words to express my outrage at what was done to you.

[@bethh.6455]

It was so devastating. None of us could believe it when it happened. Everyone knew the Sharpton family and how sweet they are. Even now we still get emotional thinking about it.

[@ebonimom6964]

Hearing her mom took her own life sent me over.

[@That_Trans_Kid]

"sent me over" 🙄

[@malibubarbie9098]

Wow! This case is in my home town. I remember this case so well. My best friend attended nursing school with Megan. She was found down the road from my house. I knew Donnie and his friend Timmy G. I hung around them quit a few times. I remember how heartbreaking it was as this case unfolded. I was in complete shock! A lot of tears shed in Winchester & Tullahoma. I get chills on my body thinking about it. I can’t watch this video it’s to hard..but I’m so happy someone is covering it and spreading awareness. 💔 I wish the best for Megan’s sister. She truly is a warrior to get through such a heart wrenching time. RIP to Megan and her mom. 🤍🤍

[@onlyinmyshorts]

I sincerely congratulate you for the hard work you've done on your channel. This is definitely one of the top channels covering the true crime genre. Thank you for everything that you do!

[@maralenoy2092]

The audacity of this man to save his life from death penalty when his victim didn't have a chance to be saved...

[@That_Trans_Kid]

Incorrect use of the word audacity

[@carolinawestern3875]

When I see cases like this, it makes me worry more about my ex wife. She's an addict and hustles & dupes men for drug money. I'm constantly told about the schemes & scams she's pulled. This past 3yrs I lost one son to suicide and a daughter to heart failure. Its rough when love just isn't enough between 2 people and I can't help but be worried that I'm gonna get a terrible phone call!

[@useyourimagination5475]

Such an absolute tragedy, for both daughter AND mother ( plus family and friends ) 😢💔 That was truly a beautiful film , about such an ugly story . RIP 🙏

[@rachealsmith5138]

How sad! And for that man to sit there and say he didn’t do anything. I can’t imagine the personal hell her mother went through before succumbing to her sadness. My heart goes out to these victims. This was very interesting and appreciated. Take care!

[@kamille8]

Her moms death was heart breaking. 😔 what a said and tragic loss for the family. My heart hurts for them.

[@jenniferhutson4543]

Our whole town still mourns the loss of this beautiful soul, and her mother. Thank you for covering her story with such respect. Megan will always be Tullahomas shining star. 😥🖤

[@huggablehobbit7549]

So weird to see a video of a case in a town so close to me. I go to Tullahoma often. Thank you for covering this small town case that is so close to home.

[@paulawillaminachandler-ren3725]

He ended up taking two lives. I hope his passing goes just as smooth as Megan's. If I am gonna be violated, and killed ~ I am putting my soul into fighting till the end, and 'They' will be caught. RIP Megan, I hope you are with your Mom now. Thank you, Truly Criminal. I find it amazing that you can tell such a story with a mono toned demeanour, whilst I am crying.

[@Tanyah-]

Another amazing coverage. So many well edited scenes and wonderfully put together. Such a sad story. RIP Megan 💕

[@pink8751]

This made me cry so much at the end…. The pain her mom went thro…. No one will probably understand that

[@That_Trans_Kid]

Many parents deal with the loss of a child but only a micro fraction choose to abandon their living children.

[@princepervez]

Kelly make sure she got justice for her daughter and left this world to join her. What a heartbreaking story. RIP! Megan and Kelly! You are at a better place now, together.

[@laurzkw3674]

So sad to hear the other two children now have to live without their mum and sister. I hope they are been well looked after, having experienced such huge losses in their lives. 🦋

[@AT-oo8tw]

Such a heartbreaking case. She was working sooo soooo hard with her nursing school and multiple jobs to build a great life for herself and others. Such a bright and beautiful girl, and her mother lost. :(

[@alisondawson5116]

Poor family ~~ Rest In Peace beautiful girl. Feel for her sister having been left to struggle through after mum took her own life. You can’t criticise anyone for what they do in a situation, until you too have walked in their shoes. Bless this family. xoxox 🇦🇺

[@That_Trans_Kid]

"You can’t criticise anyone for what they do in a situation, until you too have walked in their shoes" A comment meant to sound deep but is actually shallow and meaningless. Basic morality and common sense tells us that we certainly could and sometimes should judge people without any need of understanding their situation. One obvious example is that I don't need to walk in the shoes of a rapist to get their perspective. No matter what their situation is, the rape was still wrong. Likewise, alleviating your own pain by abandoning your living children is wrong and only stacks all of the pain onto them. Now they have their pain doubled by the person who should have been their comfort. The mom was selfish.
