It was a warm Wednesday morning in Sarasota, Florida, on June 12, 1991, when 36-year-old Jackie Galloway was supposed to meet a friend for lunch. The friend arrived at her home expecting an easy midday catch-up. Instead, the front door was unlocked, Galloway’s purse was sitting on the couch, and an unsettling silence filled the house. Jackie was gone. By the next afternoon, ten miles from downtown Sarasota, a passerby discovered a body dumped in a vacant lot, wrapped tightly in a beige bedsheet. It was Jackie. Her body was already decomposing under the relentless Florida sun. A noose was still looped around her neck. Her wrists bore the angry marks of bindings, and every one of her artificial nails had been torn away, illustrating the fight that Jackie had put up to try to escape.  Join Jen and Cam on this episode of Our True Crime Podcast entitled ‘Murder by the Book: Jackie Galloway.’ Listener discretion by @octoberpodVHS All music by our executive producer @theinkypawprint Sources:  https://www.mysuncoast.com/2020/08/25/convicted-rapist-murderer-be-released-after-serving-less-than-half-sentence/ https://www.wtsp.com/article/news/crime/convicted-sarasota-murderer-rapist-to-be-released-after-serving-partial-sentence/67-c707042d-40e8-4c60-a3f6-e594678f8262 https://www.facebook.com/heraldtribune/posts/john-waterman-54-who-raped-and-killed-a-sarasota-county-woman-and-raped-another-/10164173446750710/ https://case-law.vlex.com/vid/state-v-waterman-no-884878986 https://www.oxygen.com/crime-news/early-release-of-killer-rapist-john-waterman-angers-florida-community https://offender.fdle.state.fl.us/offender/sops/flyer.jsf?personId=71973 https://www.mysuncoast.com/2020/08/25/heres-why-convicted-murderer-rapist-is-only-serving-half-his-sentence/ https://people.com/crime/jackie-galloway-murderer-john-waterman/ https://www.heraldtribune.com/story/news/crime/2020/08/25/convicted-sarasota-murderer-serial-rapist-john-waterman-released/5625619002/ https://test2.milnerbrowne.com/2546961/unveiling-the-dark-truth-the-story-of-john-waterman-the-killer/ https://people.com/crime/john-waterman-florida-man-neighbors-upset-release-murderer-rapist/ https://www.imdb.com/name/nm2896809/news/ Learn more about your ad choices.
