I believe that Mr. Fetrow died of a broken heart. Hopefully, Ava is in a safe, warm, loving home where she will be raised to know Tonya and her parents through the tender memories of other caring family and friends. That little girl is going to need all the positive thoughts and loving support people can offer.


I just read his obituary and it leads me back to this article. It is a shame for this little girl. She is going to have a long and hard battle with her own quest for the truth as she gets older.

I fear that the POS family will bash Tonya this this baby, like his family bashed her on here...

We do agree on the above tcryder but my point is, how are your words any better than Al and Jesse. Aren't you race baiting without the advantage of money or education?! They are bottom suckers that use tragedy to promote their agenda and I am saying you use the same tactics as Jesse and Al.

Ya know Dee...maybe you're right.

I didn't read the article... and the reason being is because I emotionally can't handle the details it may or may not have. I'm with Dee, this is very unsettling.. I think what gets me is that the newspaper published the gruesome details.. for example "him stomping on her throat" the gushing of the blood from her mouth and nose. I think seriously, the public could have lived without knowing those details. But that just goes to show how much of a twisted freak he is. I think Mr. Fetrow had nothing else to live for... I can't imagine being without my kids and my significant other.

I agree that it was too much information. A case I heard in court where two people were tortured and killed wasn't this graphic because it wasn't necessary for us as jurors to know all that. Be professionals and have some respect for those who knew and loved her by sparing them the gory details.

...MAYBE THERE MIGHT BE A POSSIBILTY OF HER FATHERS SIDE OF THE FAMILY TO COME FROM OUT OF TOWN TO TAKE HER...I MIGHT SOUND SELFISH BUT I JUST HOPE THAT DOESN'T HAPPEN

There's a brother from Georgia who posted on the forum who sounds like a decent guy. Don't make the mistake of thinking drugs and violence is genetic.

I don't think we have anything to fear. It sounded like they would withhold that info until an appropriate time.
