We got hit up by a Juggalette named Meghan Lindsley about a tragedy that her family endured nearly 25 years ago. In 1991, her mother Terri was brutally murdered while she was just over a year old sleeping down the hall. A man named Douglas Reynolds plead guilty to the charges, and has been in prison ever since. He is now up for parole, and Terri’s family is asking anyone who will listen to sign a petition to keep him behind bars.
Let’s see if we can help Meghan and her family in their efforts to keep this man imprisoned. There has been a petition created, and they need the signatures of EVERYONE reading this. You can sign it yourself here: https://www.change.org/p/kentucky-parole-board-deny-parole-to-murderer-douglas-reynolds
There is also a press release about this whole situation that even recounts the grisly details of the night that Terri was murdered. There is further information of how you can help as well. Take a look at all of that below.
Family of Slain Wife, Mother asks Kentucky Parole Board to Keep Her Murderer in Prison
Murderer of Theresa Rose Lindsley eligible for parole; family seeks help in publicizing caseCINCINNATI, OH, July 28, 2016 – On October 30, 1991, Douglas Allen Reynolds (inmate #112817, currently housed in Luther Luckett Correctional Complex) viciously murdered wife and mother Theresa (Terri) Rose Lindsley, in the kitchen of her family’s Boone County, Kentucky farmhouse while her 16 month old daughter Meghan slept down the hall. Unable to prove aggravating circumstances in Terri’s murder, Terri’s family accepted the Reynold’s guilty plea and the prosecutor’s recommendation of life in prison with parole eligibility after 25 years.
With Reynolds now eligible for parole on October 22, 2016, Terri’s family asks that all citizens of the Tri-State area call or write the Kentucky Parole Board to demand that this vicious murderer remain locked up for the remainder of his natural life. The Kentucky Parole Board can be reached at: Kentucky Parole Board, P.O. Box 2400, Frankfort, KY 40604-2400. Tel: 502-564-3620. Fax: 502-564-8995 or Toll Free: 800-221-5991. Or send an email directly to the Parole Board at: [email protected] . Please include, Douglas Reynolds – Inmate #112817, on all correspondence.
The circumstances of Terri’s murder were exceptionally brutal. Reynolds, hired at the time to deliver bottled water to the family farmhouse, entered the home and stabbed Terri in the back with a large knife while she sat at her kitchen table making Christmas ornaments. Terri fought bravely for her life and the life of her infant daughter. Reynolds then savagely stabbed her to death—stabbing her 57 times and nearly decapitating her while her daughter Meghan slept nearby.
Douglas Reynolds
The impact of Terri’s murder on her family has been incalculable. Says Terri’s husband John Lindsley, away at work supporting his family when his wife was viciously murdered: “Terri was an RN who, as an agency nurse, specialized in pediatrics and in home nursing. She cared for the well-being of not only critically ill children but their families too, often doing dishes and buying groceries out of her own pocket, whatever it took to support a family in need. She touched many lives, and her passing has left an unfillable void. We seek the public’s help to make sure that Douglas Allan Reynolds stays where he belongs so that no other family has to endure what we’ve been through should he be released and decide to kill again in some other young mother’s kitchen.”
No one was more impacted by Terri’s murder than her daughter Meghan, who had to grow up without her mother’s love. Says Meghan:
“Douglas Reynolds has taken away so much more than a woman; he took my mother. A mother can never be replaced. I never got to know a mother’s love. I lost her when I was still a baby. The love and bond between a mother and child can never be explained nor replaced. My life not having her has left me needing and wanting help, but never to find answers.”
The surviving family of Terri Lindsley asks the help of the public and the media to beseech the Kentucky Parole Board on their behalf. If justice is to be served, Douglas Allen Reynolds should die in state custody. Media interested in the background of this crime can refer to original case #91-CR-162.
“Douglas Allen Reynolds is an unpredictable, violent, brutal, mentally ill person,” says Terri’s husband John. “Please help us in any way possible to see to it that this murderer stays in prison.”
There is a hearing currently scheduled for Monday, August 8, 2016 before the Kentucky Parole Board. The family of Terri Lindsley asks that you reach out to the Parole Board and let them know that Douglas A. Reynolds needs to spend the rest of his life in prison for the senseless and brutal murder of this beautiful wife and mother.
Please take some time to do this. It takes less than 30 seconds and could do a family a lot of good. Thanks to all who listened!
