Alright, so get this – Doris Worrell was found dead in her South Georgia business back in 2006. At first, everyone thought it was a robbery gone wrong, but then suspicion shifted towards her husband. This guy, Jon Worrell, ends up fleeing to Costa Rica with their live-in nanny. Fast forward almost 19 years later, and he’s finally behind bars facing murder charges in Coffee County. The sheriff there says they never stopped working on this case, and boy, did it pay off.
The whole situation started when Doris, a former teacher turned stay-at-home mom, was discovered shot at Jon’s Sports Park in Douglas. Her husband called the cops, claiming he found her body after running errands. People initially thought he was just a grieving husband, but turns out there was more to the story. Investigators eventually found out that Jon was having an affair with the nanny, and he was so afraid of losing his kids in a divorce that he allegedly tried to have his wife killed. Real messed up stuff, right?
After fleeing to Costa Rica and living it up with the nanny for years, Jon eventually made his way back to the U.S. That’s when the authorities caught up to him and threw him in jail. Doris’s sister, LeAnn Tuggle, thanked the investigators for sticking with it all these years. She described her sister as an amazing artist and mom who had a heart of gold. It’s heartbreaking to think that her kindness may have been what led to her tragic end. Now, it’s all about seeking justice for Doris and making sure Jon pays for what he’s done.
