When Kevin came into the picture,
he treated her like she was special.
They were both kind of awkward.
They were going to get to spend
the rest of their life together.
To find out there was this totally different side,
I don't know, unbelievable.
With trouble in paradise,
and a double homicide in their hometown.
The murders of two young innocent girls is devastating.
People locked their doors,
they bought guns,
they were scared.
Could there be a connection
to the young lovers?
Her fear was growing more and more.
I'm going to get out of this town,
leave Oklahoma for good.
I get this axe out of the trunk
and I find a woman's wallet.
A connection that leads
to a killer relationship?
This guys is probably a damn axe murderer.
it still surprises me how the perfect romance
can devolve into a brutal nightmare,
or as Ashley Taylor's close friend puts it,
how it can become a real life horror movie.
Kevin Sweat and Ashley Taylor's relationship
was a slow build into a sweet romance,
two sensitive outcasts together against the world,
finding connection and comfort in their all-consuming love.
And it all begins with Ashley in Weleetka, Oklahoma.
She was wonderful.
Me and Ashley were not just mother and daughter,
we was really good friends.
Ashley was always shy and quiet, you know,
but she was always just like smiling, you know,
she was sweet and playful.
and Ashley would lift him in and out of the bed.
Ashley really helped taking care of her
brother and sister,
but she made it fun.
She played with them.
She loved them a lot.
I had fun with Ashley.
She's good,
and pretty.
Ashley loved playing games.
She liked movies.
We had fun.
She was just a sweet girl.
Ashley and I first met in school.
She kind of brought, like, a spark of life.
She was always laughing.
She was really shy,
but she was, you know, kind of boy crazy.
With less than a hundred students total
so he was a little bit older.
He seemed really sweet,
kind of awkward,
but we thought he was cool.
Kevin was into artistry and Ashley,
you know, she liked that about him.
He drew things, he wrote poetry,
but he got met with a lot of rejection.
Ashley's said people kind of picked on him,
so she wanted to be his friend.
She didn't like people getting picked on.
That's because Ashley knows what it feels like.
She's faced her own share of bullying at school.
She was a bigger girl
and she didn't look like the girls in the magazines.
And that's rough,
not to mention her situation at home.
So when Kevin came into the picture,
it must have been really nice for her
to meet someone that treated her like she was special.
He came to the house and Kevin and Ashley
would play board games and video games.
They would hang out over there
and watch scary movies together,
and they appeared like they were best friends.
But you could tell that Ashley had a crush on him, for sure.
She would giggle around him, you know?
They were really different in high school.
They weren't jocks.
They didn't make honor roll.
They didn't really fit in anywhere.
And that's the glue that held Ashley and Kevin together,
the sense that they were outcasts.
And I think they found comfort in each other over that.
The unique friendship between Kevin and Ashley
doesn't develop into anything romantic,
probably because they're both too shy
to do anything about it.
After Kevin graduates in 2004,
Ashley finishes high school from home
so that she can help out with her brother and sister
while mom is at work,
and the two friends drift apart.
Ashley stayed home and we finally
got a computer so she could get her diploma online.
It took her a couple of years, but she did it.
In the meantime, Kevin went to the local technology center
and he was voted student of the year,
which was quite an accomplishment.
Kevin's future looks bright,
but in the spring of 2007,
his world is turned upside down
when tragedy strikes his older brother.
Police found Kevin's brother in a hotel room.
He had died of a drug overdose...
and Kevin was just devastated.
Kevin went from a quirky young man
to starting to become isolated.
He was broken hearted by his brother's death.
As Kevin struggles to find solid emotional ground,
he reaches out to his old friends.
One day, in the spring of 2007,
three years after Kevin and Ashley drifted apart,
the girls are reminiscing about Ashley's old crush.
Fifteen minutes later, she gets a call
and it was Kevin Sweat calling out of the blue.
She was so excited to have him contact her again.
Kevin and Ashley,
they had this really great connection for so many years,
and then they went their separate ways,
but she'd never stopped thinking about him.
Apparently he had had a crush on her all those years, too.
I just remember, you know, how excited she was.
The second time around for Ashley,
Kevin is the charm.
Just a few months after reconnecting,
they're practically inseparable.
Kevin moved in with us.
He was sweet to Ashley.
And he would help out the family.
You know, Trish didn't have a vehicle,
so he would take Shane to the doctor visit sometimes,
the couple was able to save up enough money
to afford an apartment.
And they move in together in 2010
after dating for two years.
I'd go over there and Ashley
would talk about their days and she'd say,
"Oh my God, Kevin did this,"
or, you know, "He said this the other day."
And they flowed well together.
Well, I saw in Kevin,
he loved and adored Ashley.
Seemed like they had no problems at all.
But here's the thing about putting all your eggs
in one basket, one relationship basket.
When problems come up,
and they do in every relationship,
it can feel like your whole world is crumbling around you.
And now, just months after she and Kevin moved in together,
Ashley's friends and family notice something has changed.
I didn't know what it was, but you know,
things weren't as light as they had been.
And I would start to hear from her more
about them fighting and just little arguments,
you know, and tension.
She stopped hanging around with her friends
and there was always an excuse it seemed like,
"Oh, well, sorry, I can't make it,
I'm just not feeling good."
But I think it was Kevin, you know,
he was the reason that she wasn't able to make it.
But Ashley never told anyone
what was wrong or what her concerns were.
Ashley didn't confide in us
about the problem she was having with Kevin.
But I remember one time Ashley's neighbor
telling us she overheard Ashley's saying
that she was leaving and Kevin,
he said, "You're not going nowhere."
It just felt like there was something
behind that door that I wasn't supposed to see
for whatever reason.
He looked back in his rear view mirror,
and the last thing he saw was her walking off.
It's like watching a horror movie
starring your best friend from middle school,
and it's just not real.
Like, it just couldn't be real.
Ashley Taylor and Kevin Sweat
have what seems like a fairytale romance.
These two old friends from high school
go their separate ways,
rekindle their friendship,
and then began to fall in love.
But, after finding a place of their own and living together
for just a few months,
friends and family noticed a shift in Ashley.
She's pretty much stopped communicating
with the outside world,
spending her days cooped up inside their small apartment.
At that point, I was worried about her.
I was living in Tulsa
and I would try to convince her
to come with me for the day,
a day trip in Tulsa,
and she wouldn't do it.
Like she felt like she had to stay there.
When a relationship is having issues,
it's hard to know how serious that is.
And the more I tried to get her to tell me
about their arguments,
she just kind of clammed up harder.
Like, it just felt like there was something behind that door
that I wasn't supposed to see, for whatever reason.
Ashley's friends and family speculate
that Kevin's grief over losing his brother
is creating tension in their relationship.
Kevin and Ashley were together basically
from the moment he called her after the loss of his brother.
But three years later,
Kevin was still just obviously traumatized.
That was an experience for Kevin,
that he never was able to overcome.
He thought law enforcement
hadn't looked into it the way they should have,
that there had been perhaps a drug deal gone wrong.
Perhaps his brother had been injected against his will
and he wrote on his blog about it,
he tried to call attention to it publicly
and he felt that justice was never served for his brother.
Kevin spends countless hours online,
posting poems and artwork he's created
coming to grips with his brother's death.
Ashley, meanwhile,
seemingly waits it out,
hoping he heals.
I wanted to help her,
but it was hard to help her when she wouldn't let me.
And so I just decided I wasn't going to go back.
The next time I heard anything,
it was just a random post on Facebook,
you know, she was talking about
they were planning on getting married.
It's not at all uncommon for couples
who are on the verge of breaking up
to suddenly double down and get engaged.
Sure, it works sometimes,
I've witnessed that,
but more often than not,
it doesn't lead to a happy ending.
Ashley's family and friends are surprised
by the news and definitely still concerned
about what's going on in the relationship,
but they stay supportive and hopeful
that Kevin has found some peace
and that the relationship has turned a corner.
Kevin took Ashley back to the lake,
back to their first memories of being together and bonding.
That's where Kevin proposed marriage to Ashley.
That was definitely romantic.
I was excited for them that they were able
to work out whatever they were dealing with.
And I gave her my blessings.
She came home and said, "Mom, I'm engaged."
She was so happy with the ring.
Ashley and Kevin were going to Louisiana to get married
and have their honeymoon.
Trish said that they were going to be gone for two weeks.
Ashley had never got to go anywhere out of the state.
She was really excited.
According to Kevin,
he was borrowing money from his father
to pay for the wedding, the honeymoon in Louisiana,
They were both as looking forward
to their new beginning together.
It was July 15th,
she came to my house after getting her haircut.
She'd got her some new pants,
she asked me if I liked them, and you know,
and of course I liked them.
And then she said, "Well, we're going to go get married,"
she goes, "and I'll call you when we get there."
And I kissed her on the cheek.
And I said, "Well, you know,
wait for your call."
But Ashley never made that call.
I called them a few times,
but it was like the phone was disconnected or turned off.
See, at first we thought maybe
she's just having a good time and forgot all about us,
you know, and then Shane's birthday came along.
Her brother's birthday falls on July 24,
nine days after Ashley and Kevin said
they were leaving for Louisiana.
I said, "Trish, she's going to call him,
of course, 'cause that's her brother Shane."
But she didn't call.
She would never forget his birthday,
Shane's birthday,
no matter what.
Two weeks went by.
So I called Trish, I said,
"Trish, have you heard from Ashley?"
"No, still haven't heard anything."
I said, "Well, Trish, you need to call her friends,
see if they've heard from her."
And she called her friend, Anna,
she hadn't heard from her.
They was supposed to came back the 29th, they said.
And Alana kept looking out that front window
for her sister.
She stood there most of the day waiting
for her to pull up,
and they never came.
I knew right then something was terribly wrong.
The last time Trish Taylor saw her daughter Ashley
was on July 15th, 2011,
when Ashley was heading off with the love of her life,
Kevin Sweat, to get married and honeymoon in New Orleans,
just the two of them.
Now, two weeks later,
without a single phone call,
family and friends are worried
something might have happened to the newlyweds.
Ashley's family rushes to the young couple's apartment,
hoping they might be there.
The lady that lived across from them,
I asked her, I said,
"Have you seen or heard anything from Kevin or Ashley?"
And she was like, "Well, their car has been home
the last couple of nights."
And I thought, you know,
that seems pretty strange to me.
So I'm went straight to Henryetta.
Kevin worked at a fast food restaurant there
and they said he never missed a day's work.
From the 15th on, he went to work every single day.
That's when we know they didn't even go
to Louisiana to get married, or,
but we just didn't know where Ashley was at.
So I called Trish.
I said, "Trish, something's not right.
We got to call the police right away."
I was dispatched to a missing persons call.
I made contact with Ashley's family.
Once I started speaking to them,
I was really concerned.
What concerned me the most was that her fiance
Just hours after filing
the missing persons report with officer Spears,
Ashley's family gets a call from neighbors
in the couple's apartment complex that Kevin's car
is back and parked in the lot.
They called at like, I don't know,
three o'clock in the morning.
We flew over there.
When Ashley's mom and aunt arrive,
they're stunned to find Kevin trying
to drive out of the parking lot.
Worst of all,
Kevin's alone in the car with no sign of Ashley.
We just start confronting him, you know,
"Where is she, where's Ashley?"
And he said, "We broke up two weeks ago."
He said, "I dropped her off by a bridge."
I'm like, "Wait,
you dropped her fiance off by a bridge."
I said, "That don't even make no sense to me.
I don't believe that for a minute,
if you dropped her off by a bridge, she would've,
you know, made it somewhere to call or something."
It was shocking.
Right then, I knew something bad had happened,
I just didn't know what.
Alerted by neighbors,
Officer Lyndon Spears arrives on the scene.
When I arrived, the family was kinda around the car.
I mean, there was a lot of people.
So I told Kevin, "Go to the police department,
I really want to talk to you about what's going on."
He got into his vehicle and I followed.
And that's when the interview with Kevin
started to kind of unfold.
Kevin is very intelligent,
soft-spoken,
very polite,
different.
I've dealt with multiple homicides,
drug dealers, gang members,
things of that nature.
But Kevin is the only person that I was ever in a room with
that there was just something unnerving about him,
about his aura.
In the initial interview that I had with him,
Kevin says on their way to Louisiana,
they had gotten into an argument,
south of Okmulgee.
Kevin indicated that Ashley had gotten insecure
and was accusing him of not loving her,
not wanting to marry her.
Which is why she got out of the car.
He said she jumped out
before the car even stopped moving.
She was like, "It's over, I'm leaving."
And then he said that he looked back
in his rear view mirror,
and the last thing he saw was her walking off.
He told me that he never called her,
never went back to check on her,
he'd never seen her again.
I asked him if he was to take us back
to where he dropped her off,
would we find her?
And his response was, no.
You know, kind of a like,
there's no way you're going to find her.
As someone who's interviewed countless suspects,
Kevin's response is especially concerning.
For one, the typical reaction from a loving spouse
or partner would probably be something like,
gosh, if you go look,
I really hope you find her, right?
I mean, that's pretty normal.
Or maybe even, hey, let's go look together.
But saying, no,
you're not going to find her,
a pretty suspicious reaction.
And Officer Spears knows it.
So I asked Kevin,
have you ever had any interactions
with law enforcement before, before this.
Kevin says, "Well, there was this time
where I had gotten in trouble for marijuana."
Okay, not a big deal.
"Oh, but there was also this one time
where OSBI talked to me."
Okay, timeout,
the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigations
is now speaking to you about something.
That's a big thing.
So I asked him, "Really,
what'd they talk to you about?"
"Well, supposedly the gun that I had owned...
is a match to one that was used to kill some people."
After working as a prosecutor in New York,
not much surprises me anymore
when it comes to criminal investigations,
but sometimes there is an unusual twist
that happens during an interrogation.
Detectives question a prime suspect about one thing,
and all of a sudden, the suspect opens up
and reveals something completely unexpected.
In the 2011 case of missing 23-year-old, Ashley Taylor,
her fiance Kevin Sweat has just admitted to investigators
that he was questioned three years prior
about owning a Glock pistol,
the same make and caliber weapon that was used
in one of the state's most notorious
and shocking cold cases.
Three years before, in 2008,
two little girls in Weleetka were murdered.
So that was a big, big case.
And that case had never been solved.
Kevin says, "Well, the same type of gun that he had
was used to kill these little girls."
So that was very, very concerning to me.
In 2008, Skyla Whitaker and Taylor Placker,
aged 11 and 13,
were shot to death and left in a roadside ditch,
just a few miles from Kevin and Ashley's family homes.
I remember the Weleetka girls,
because Ashley and Kevin,
I think she got with him just right after that,
that same year.
Day four since the crime.
Johnny, what did we learn today?
Honestly, Damon, not a whole, not a whole lot.
We still do not have a suspect,
we still do not have any persons of interest in this case.
You know, we hear about murders all the time,
but when we hear of murders of two young innocent girls,
um,
it's devastating, the community was shocked.
People were frantic, panicking.
People locked their doors, they bought guns,
they were scared.
With no eyewitnesses,
investigators have little to go on.
At the crime scene, there was a Mountain Dew can
and a key chain,
and there were also five 40 caliber shell casings
that were scattered in the roadway near their bodies.
After the spent shell casings were analyzed,
it was determined that they had been fired
from a Glock weapon.
Leads started pouring in, just hundreds.
My cousin owns one,
someone I used to know owns a 40 caliber Glock,
and at some point,
somebody called and indicated that Kevin Sweat
had been sold a 40 caliber Glock gun.
Kevin allegedly purchased the gun in 2007,
the year before the Weleetka girls were murdered.
Kevin told us that he had purchased a Glock 40 handgun
in 2007,
but he had sold that gun to another person.
We were never able to find that Glock handgun.
Back in 2008,
when the OSBI couldn't tie Kevin Sweat
to the Glock cartridges found at the girl's murder scene,
Kevin fell off the radar.
Now, here he is again,
being questioned by police, but this time as a suspect
in the disappearance of Ashley Taylor.
And now investigators wonder,
could Kevin Sweat also be responsible
for the Weleetka murders?
What was going on back at that time?
It's in that timeline,
that's when I couldn't get her to leave her apartment.
That's when they were always fighting
and seemed like her fear was growing more and more,
and it wasn't just about having arguments,
there was something serious happening.
Kevin would be at the house
and we would see the report on TV
about the Weleetka girls.
And he just wouldn't even look at the TV.
I thought he just didn't want to hear it.
Most disturbing of all,
Anna recalls that her mother spotted Ashley upset at church
the Sunday before she was supposed to get married.
Could Ashley's state of mind have been related
to hearing something about the Weleetka girls murder?
My mom had told me that Ashley came in the service.
She said the Ashley went straight up
to the front and just got on her knees,
and was just like crying and praying.
And my mom went up to comfort her
and to make sure she was okay.
And at that point,
Ashley told my mom that she was worried about Kevin,
Anshe was scared,,
she didn't know what to do,
and that she had to go,
and that he was waiting outside for her.
What was it that upset Ashley so deeply
that night in the church?
Could it be that Kevin shared his darkest secret
with Ashley and then feared
he couldn't trust her to keep it?
The day following his first interview with Kevin,
Officer Spears presses forward to gather
as much evidence as possible.
We got a search warrant typed up
for Ashley and his apartment and his vehicle.
His car was parked out front,
and I remember we were walking outside and my lieutenant,
So he pops the trunk.
Trunk comes up and I stepped back
and I look at my lieutenant,
I'm like,
"There's an axe in the trunk."
He found something interesting in the burn pile.
He found a women's diamond gold ring.
Twenty-eight-year-old Kevin Sweat has suddenly
become not only the prime suspect
in the disappearance of his fiance, Ashley Taylor,
but authorities are also closely looking at Kevin
about his possible involvement
in the murders of two young girls, three years earlier,
near the same town where he and Ashley fell in love.
And then there's this,
I get this axe out of the trunk
and there's some type of substance on the axe,
I'm not sure what it is, but it was odd enough
I wanted to collect his axe as evidence.
Then I go to the front of the vehicle
and I searched the glove box,
and I find a woman's wallet.
Ashley's ID, her credit cards, this is bad.
Really bad, but the thing is,
without a body, at this point,
the evidence is entirely circumstantial.
The cops know it's time to expand their investigation
so they call in OSBI to assist
and get a warrant to search Kevin's computer.
During the investigation,
we learned that Kevin had some obsession
with violence and guns.
Kevin created online social profiles on social media.
And one way that investigators got a lot of information
about that relationship
was the online blogging that Kevin did.
And he would talk about Ashley, and their relationship,
and how unhappy he was.
And you know, I'm going to get out of this town,
leave Oklahoma for good.
Kevin's blog also contains
what could be his countdown to something very ominous.
He was putting like a year until D-Day.
D-Day was the same week
that he and Ashley were supposed to go get married.
He had absolutely no intention of getting married.
The day after searching Kevin's computer,
OSBI agent Titsworth tells him
that he'd like to drive with Kevin
along the route to the bridge where he says he left Ashley.
Kevin agrees.
My focus right now is to find out where Ashley's at,
what happened to Ashley,
and my hoping prayer is that she's out there somewhere.
So Kevin went with me to kind of show me
the route that he had driven that day.
They got into argument about the wedding,
she got upset,
he pulls over the side of the road,
she wants to get out of the car,
he lets her out,
and he drives off.
And that's the last time that he sees her.
Kevin says that he then goes out to the Nichols Park Lake,
spent some time there for a few hours,
and Taylor Placker were killed in 2008.
This seems like far more than just a coincidence.
And Agent Titsworth is thinking the very same thing.
As a prosecutor, when I deal with someone I think
is withholding something,
I've learned to ask the same questions repeatedly,
to get them to tell their story again and again,
the lies will change,
the truth stays the same.
If they're lying,
eventually they'll trip up on their own story.
Agent Titsworth knows this all too well,
and it's no surprise that he brings Kevin
back to the station the following day.
We interviewed him again,
during that interview, he changed his story.
He says we were together.
We drove to Nichols Park Lake.
We got into an argument about the wedding
and then he picks up a knife,
throws it at her.
She gets the knife, starts cutting herself,
and she walks out on the pier,
and then she falls into the lake.
And that's the last time that he sees her.
Agent Titsworth continues to press Kevin
asking again and again about
what happened between him and Ashley.
And then Kevin changes his story
again.
The next story goes,
she had the knife,
she cuts the side of her neck
and she falls down on the dock.
He picks up the knife
and cuts the other side of her neck,
killing her,
and pushes her off into the lake.
And that's the last time he sees her.
At that point in time,
we arrest Kevin Sweat for the murder of Ashley Taylor.
The agent's working these investigations know
that now is when the real work starts.
They need to lock down the evidence
in Ashley's disappearance and possible murder.
And they know that without finding her body,
They searched that lake and she wasn't in there.
He lied.
I was hoping that Ashley was still alive, you know,
I thought, maybe she is.
I though Kevin might have her in a place
and just wouldn't let her out.
I just kept thinking,
what did you do?
Where is she at?
We put out missing person posters of Ashley.
They had helicopters looking for her.
I wanted to just keep holding out hope
that somehow it would make sense
and that she'd still be fine.
Investigators wish for the same thing.
of a fire started at his home.
And he found something interesting in the burn pile.
He found a women's diamond gold ring.
They found a ring and they brought it to me,
it had smoke on it.
And I said, "Yeah, that's her ring."
We did a extensive search of the burn pile
there on the property.
Inside that burn pile was bones,
those remains were believed
to be consistent with Ashley Taylor.
Kurt Titsworth came to the house
I really did.
And then seeing, you know,
Alana and Shane,
and Trish,
how could he do that to them?
That was a monster.
As devastated as Ashley's family is,
investigators feel some relief at finding her remains.
But their work isn't done,
they still believe Kevin is connected
to the Weleetka murders,
but will need evidence to tie him to the crime.
And they suspect there's a good chance
they'll find something more on his father's property.
Investigators then searched the property
with metal detectors.
And there was a place on the property
where Kevin sometimes come and shot his guns.
They found eight or nine spent 40 caliber shell casings
in the area.
The casings were brought back to our laboratory
and the firearms examiner
was able to say that eight of those casings out of the nine
were fired from the same gun that killed
the two girls in Weleetka.
have found a charred remains of Ashley Taylor
on Kevin Sweat's father's property,
and shell casings matching the murders
of two teenage girls three years earlier.
As a former prosecutor, I can assure you,
that's plenty of evidence to move forward
with charging Kevin with three murders.
And that's exactly what authorities do.
But they still have unanswered questions.
Right up until the end,
we really struggled with what was his motive?
Because it was just hard to fathom- Right up until the end,
why he would do what he did to the children.
And so I would say about a week before the trial,
we talked to some of Kevin's coworkers
and one of them said, "Oh,
I thought of one other thing that I haven't told you yet."
Kevin had told her that he hated the Placker family.
Taylor Placker was one
of the two young girls murdered in 2008.
With this link, provided by Kevin's coworker,
prosecutors now believe that they have a motive
for why Kevin killed the two girls,
as revenge for the death of his own brother.
His brother had died of a drug overdose
and Kevin believe that one of the girl's brothers
actually sold him the drugs that killed him.
That was the very first time
throughout the course of the entire investigation
that we were able to identify really
any connection between Kevin and the girls.
And that also leads authorities
to Kevin's possible motive for killing Ashley.
My feelings on why Kevin did what he did to Ashley,
she knew what he had done to those little girls.
And he was afraid that she was going
to tell somebody what he had done.
He wanted out of the relationship,
but he knew the only way that he was going
to be able to do that without her saying anything
to anybody was to get rid of her.
With the evidence piled high against him,
Kevin pleads guilty to all three murders.
In exchange, prosecutors agree not to seek
the death penalty and leave his fate
in the hands of the trial judge.
So on the day of Kevin's sentencing,
he met with his attorneys outside of the courtroom.
They walked just within feet of us.
Then at that point,
Kevin reached up
and attempted to slit his attorney's throat.
He ended up assaulting
one of the attorneys with a razor blade
that he had snuck in.
His attorney
had blood from one end of his neck to the other,
it was complete chaos.
It was shocking,
very shocking.
It's never happened in my courtroom,
but I stand by what the judge did next.
After the wounded attorney was bandaged up,
the judge said there would be no further delay,
and sentenced Kevin to three life sentences
to run consecutively without the possibility of parole.
I believe at first Ashley was crazy about Kevin,
and Kevin loved Ashley,
but I think Kevin's love for Ashley was very short-lived.
Ashley thought for sure Kevin was her soulmate, you know,
and that they were going to get to spend
the rest of their life together.
To find out that he has this totally different side,
this twisted evil side,
it was just unbelievable.
Ashley was kind of the glue
for a lot of the people around her.
I miss her so much.
Ashley, we love you, we miss you.
She was that bright spot,
so he took the light out.
He not only took her future away,
but he took, you know, her sibling's futures away
and her mom's future away.
I thought she was going to get married,
and she was on her way...
and she was all excited.
It's still really hard.
People say time heals,
not all the time.
Kevin Sweat was consumed with rage
over his brother's death,
compounding two horrible murders with yet a third,
because the woman he supposedly adored learned his deepest,
darkest secret.
Ashley Taylor was a wonderful, kind soul,
whose loved ones will never forget her.
It's so sad to consider,
but even in death,
she was of service as her murder is what led
to finding Kevin responsible
for the murders of two other girls.
It's truly a tragic example
of a killer relationship.
