24: The Story of Jill Coy 26 years later

Infamous Indy

A terrible story of obsession that turned to murder. Signs of something more sinister and a 14-year-old boy caught in the middle. This week we talk about the tragic end of Jill Coy because of domestic violence. Jill’s Son Jason Cottingim talks to me 26 years after the murder. He tells me he has never spoken out about this publicly since the day his mother was murdered by her ex-boyfriend turned stalker. In September 1993 Jason was only 14 years old and as you will hear couldn’t do anything to stop his mothers’ killer. Jason has given me the “State’s Sentence report” from the State of Indiana Vs. William Crawley. A Sentencing report is a legal term referring to the investigation into the history of the person convicted of a crime before sentencing to see if there if there are extenuating circumstances which should ameliorate the sentence or a history of criminal behavior to increase the harshness of the sentence.
