Speaker 2 (00:04):
I'm Nicole Parton. An innocent man found himself behind bars
for nearly ten days, wrongfully accused of a murder he
did not commit. Authorities in Indiana report that the actual
perpetrator came up with a complex scheme to implicate the
victim's boyfriend. This involved the creation of a fake social
media profile and the distribution of a video showing the

(00:27):
victim's body. The Jefferson County Prosecutor's Office shared the details
on social media, revealing that law enforcement responded to a
welfare check on Wilma Gail Robinson. This was at her
residence on Hickory Drive in Hanover. Upon arrival, officers discovered
Robertson had been fatally stabbed in the back. That same day,

(00:48):
they arrested her boyfriend, thirty three year old Sean Bailey
from Louisville, on charges of murder. The case against him
appeared compelling, as he confessed to the crime and possessed
a video of Rawrobertson's body. According to the probable calls. Affidavid,
a girlfriend of Robertson's ex husband, received a friend request

(01:08):
on Facebook from an account under the name Sean Bailey.
The account allegedly sent her two messages, including a brief
video reportedly showing Robertson lifeless on the ground, set to
Chris Brown's song Stutter. The lyrics echoed a theme of
confusion and distress. In another message, the account supposedly stated, quote,

(01:29):
tell her baby daddy he doesn't have to worry about
her anymore. And my bag for me and him getting
into it over this bee. Me and him got some
things like same last name, but I have solid favor
for him. I took care of her. However, investigators later
discovered DNA evidence that ultimately exonerated the real Sean Bailey.

(01:52):
They identified thirty four year old Nigel Thompson from Oxford,
Ohio as the true culprit. Following the fatal stab of Robertson,
Thomas orchestrated an intricate plot to frame Bailey, establishing multiple
social media accounts that falsely depicted Bailey confessing to the murder. This,

(02:12):
according to the Jefferson County Prosecutor's Office. On Friday, law
enforcement arrested Thomas, dropped the charges against Bailey, and released
him from custody. Details regarding Thomas arrest affidavit and the
motive for the crime remain undisclosed, as does information about
his relationship to the deceased woman. Stutter remarked, the criminal

(02:33):
justice system is fundamentally a pursuit of truth. Various agencies
across three states work together diligently to follow every investigative lead,
revealing the crimes committed by Nigel Thompson and clearing Sean Bailey.
Thomas is currently incarcerated in Ohio awaiting extradition to Indiana. Robinson,
as noted in her obituary, was recognized for sharing motivational

(02:57):
videos on our social media aimed at upland other women.
She was a dedicated mother of two and worked as
a certified nursing assistant. Here she is in one of
her latest posts before her tragic murder.

Speaker 3 (03:10):
It is definitely a good day. Definitely a good day.
So with that being said, our food for thought today
is there's always a positive to a negative.

Speaker 2 (03:19):
Always always.

Speaker 1 (03:20):
You just gotta be.

Speaker 3 (03:20):
Able to see, feel, and hear from a universe around
you on what that is. You gotta figure it out.
But there's always a positive to the negative. And maybe
I'm gonna find the positives and all my negatives because
I'm over the negatives. Baby, I deserve all the positives
just like you do. So food for thought always a
positive to the negative. Figure it out, baby fine.

Speaker 2 (03:43):
Nigel Thomas is being held without bond or crime in
Justice news after this.

twenty times, including in the back, allegedly die of suicide? Yes,
that was a medical examiner's official ruling after a closed
door meeting. He first named it a homicide. Why what
happened to Ellen Greenberg? A huge American miscarriage of justice.
