Was the case ever solved?


Just watched this film today on Sky, thought it was amazing, the best made-for-tv film I have EVER seen, and everyone who acted in it should be congratulated. I was wondering if they ever solved the murder, coz I thought they were close when they noticed the initials TEJR in the postcards. Any help would be great!

Timothy Hennis was first convicted and sentenced to death but later acquitted of all charges when he got a second trial. They determined that a neighbor who resembled Sargeant Hennis may have been the real killer. Check out this website.

If you watched the movie to the end you'd have seen in the end credits it is stated that the case still is unsolved!!

reply

The case wasn't officially solved. No new arrest was made, but they think it was a neighbor who looked like Sargeant Hennis.

reply

No they didn't , that guy your talking about, "The walker" looks like Hennis but that is all he did, walk...The one they think may have done this horrible thing is the neighbor that did live up the street.

I lived in Fayetteville, NC at the time of the this horrid event, so tragic. I very closly followed this story.

I feel for Mrs. Eastburn's husband, Gary, and their daughter, Jana, who is now a young adult. The daughter was too young to remember her mother and two older sisters. How devastating it must be for her and her father to know of how their lives ended too soon.

I don't think this horrible crime has been solved, so unfortunate.

Incredibly this case has been re-opened within the past 30 days. What's mindboggling to me is that police in Feyetteville claim that they have definitive DNA evidence to who the murderer is. Once again they are claiming to have implicated Hennis again as they claim DNA found at the seen has been retested and was to have matched Hennis. Now I've seen the movie twice, the second time this morning overnight on Lifetime Movie Net. The jury in the 1st case had to be as dumb as a rock. I would have a hard time believing anything the authorities would have to see against Hennis based on the history of the case. Pres Bush looks like a honest guy based on the the prosecuters pulled in this case so far.

reply

I saw that the prosecutors had turned it over to the military since the state can't charge him again. I took watched it yesterday morning for the second time and then decided to research Hennis and found all of this out. I am definately going to keep up on this one.

reply

The US Army gave Hennis an Article 32 hearing and decided there was enough evidence for a court martial.

reply

Oops! Seems you're the one who's as dumb as a rock. Assuming a man is innocent just because you've seen this movie..TWICE! Is DNA evidence too difficult to believe for you?

reply

Funny, I wanted to say the exact same thing!

So you only have to prove that two people had sex to convict for homicide? What if she was lonely and turned to a neighbor and had an affair? His track record had been stellar. Of course, he could've purposely walked a straight line thereafter knowing he's gotten away with murder. But had they found he DNA under her fingernails or his blood it would be a lot better than just proving the two had sex.

Congratulations on making a fool of yourself AND showing everyone you're a complete ass at the same time! : D

But anyway, yeah... To prove murder you have to prove more than sex, or even rape for that matter. No blood or skin or anything else? And they said there was other DNA there that was not his. You don't convict of murder lightly.

But I have to admit, it's fun to see discussion forum trolls like you lose it in front of everyone, ChucksCherubs.

Wow, keep flaming like a babbling full bozo. You didn't read what I said but you nevertheless came here and spouted off with insults like a typical tween (I hope you aren't an ADULT running your mouth off like you did)! I stand by everything i said and it makes perfect sense (especially since you can't name one thing I said that DIDN"T make sense), oh but you ARE good at 4th Grade name calling. I'm glad everyone else can read it for themselves. Have a good day! : )

Yes, I know you are, that's why you came in attacking me. But do you have anything constructive to actually ADD to the conversation? ...Huh?

You obviously can't READ and are a name-calling immature ass (which you've carefully proven to anyone who reads the above posts). Now THAT sums it up! : )P

So replying to a message directed to you on a message board equals a "stalker"?? And pointing out an issue in an investigation is a "troll"??? LOL -- Sorry bud, YOU are the one who started "trolling" and name calling and you're still doing it. You've described everything you have done. Keep it up though, it's a good transcript for people to see what you're like when they search your posts. : )

More names! Yessss.....

Aw, you have more names in you than that! Come on, show them them how much of the typical IMDb idiot you embody. You reveal your level with every post. : )

reply

[deleted]

Awww.... come on and impress everyone with all the names you know and can call people. You HAVE proven that to all who see this. Why stop now?

reply

Well, see, Hennis messed up. During the first two trials, where he was on trial for his life, no less, he claimed to have never had sex with her. Now all of a sudden when DNA proves that was his sperm, he claims he did? What, did it slip his mind? Oops! LOL
