Janice and Alyssa Owen - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Clytemnestra · 08-10-2010, 02:13 AM

Hey all,
I was wondering if anyone had any information about why Janice and Alyssa were murdered. I tried to search for more information about the people convicted of their murders (Eric D. Mize and Angela M. Mize), but did not find much info. Does anyone know why they were murdered? Or how the Owens were involved with the Mizes? Was it a random act of violence? Was Janice a witness or participant of some illegal activity with these people? One search that came up was from the Division of Drug Control, so I am wondering if their murders were related to the illegal drug trade? Thanks, any info would be appreciated.

Sadly I remember reading somewhere they believe their abduction and murder were for sexual reasons.

Such a sickening case!

I had always wondered about this case as well; I figured that it was a robbery gone wrong. How horrible.

This segment was really twisted. They said they sexually assaulted the child and afterwords killed the mother because "she was in the way". Well that's two people that deserve to rot in prison for the rest of their waking life.

That case always creeps me out, I have a hard time watching the segment because it's so disturbing. Thankfully there were several eyewitnesses for this case.

Angela Mize worked with Janice as a nurse's aide. Angela had had four children which had been removed by Social Services so she decided to steal one. Eric wanted to molest children so it was a match made in Hell so to speak.
Its curious that no one has written a book about this couple and why they are so seriously depraved. Angela definitley acts demon possessed with her smirky weirdness. Eric is just damaged period.

Thanks for the additional information. UM really never went into motive so its nice to get some more background on this deranged couple. In my opinion one of the most sickening cases ever profiled on UM.

Just read about the case... How horrible! Not that it excuses the crimes but it wouldn't surprise me if Janice's co-worker and her Scummy husband were on drugs at the time. (I read she lost kids to Soc. Servs. and wanted one. While her Douchbag husband wanted to molest kids WTF?) It just makes you wonder what makes people snap and do aweful things to others. This crime seems so senseless to me. Why would anyone want to hurt a single Mom and her little girl? :/

WishfulDreamer · 06-14-2012, 04:56 PM

I haven't seen this case in years and have been unable to find it. Very sad one, but I'm glad the killers were caught.

Teriwelch26 · 05-02-2014, 11:52 AM

I am setting everything straight with why and what happen. Angie was a very sick and demented women always has been even when she was lil. She did not have any of her kids taken away she gave them all up. She had 4 boys and 1 girl . She admitted in court that she had always had thoughts and impulses to do sexual stuff to a lil girl. I know more than all of you on this sick twisted story. She had always been disturbed and prison is the best thing for her on this earth and he'll to follow. We all think she should have got killed for what she did to that lil angle and her mom.

Teriwelch26 · 05-02-2014, 11:53 AM

The only motive behind this murder was Angie wanted sexual stuff with the lil girl and the mom witnessed it.

LooksLikeCRicci · 05-02-2014, 01:49 PM

Thanks for posting, Teriwelch26. So... was Eric her accomplice, then? I always assumed it was the other way around.

Teriwelch26 · 05-03-2014, 04:44 AM

Yes he was her accomplice. I have not been able to see this episode been trying to find it tho. But the only reason she did not get the death sentence is the grandma didn't want to have to go though it. And I no it has not been said on here but other places I've heard ppl make assumptions on how she was raised. To clear it up yes her parents were divorced but both her parents were in her life and loved her. Everyone knew she was sick just not this sick. She had 5 of the most wonderful kids. She never had them long enough for state to take them. And by the time she was with her husband she had none of them.

Sickest case I've seen in awhile. Nightmare Next Door on ID profiled this as well.
