This case involves a married couple who kill the wife's parents. I recall that her name was Cheryl, and her parents had a lot of money, and Cheryl and her husband always spent a lot of money and lived beyond their means and were always asking her parents for large money loans. I think they broke into their house and shot the parents and then to cover their tracks they burned her parents home down. Do you know if this couple was ever caught? Is there any further information on this one?

Would that be Cheryl Holland? If so, she was caught soon after UM aired the story in 1992. But her husband was already in jail before the segment was filmed, so he wasn't profiled as a wanted person. In 1991, her husband killed her uncle and aunt, Joe and Mattie Harvey (who operated a gas station in Tennessee). From what I have learned, she is doing life in prison.

Yes! That's it. Thank you Kane. I forgot that it was her aunt & uncle. Good Memory refresher!

Yes, both Cheryl Holland and Eddie Wooten got two concurrent life terms in prison after pleading guilty. They will be eligible for parole in about 10 years or so.
