He is also accused of murdering his wife and two children in their Columbia, Illinois home in May 2009. Sheri Coleman, 31, and her children Gavin, 9, and Garett, 11, were strangled to death in their beds and allegedly found by Chris Coleman when he returned from the gym on the morning of May 5, 2009.
A large scale investigation has been open since May and the evidence uncovered so far points to Coleman as the killer.
The family of Coleman's slain wife Sheri have even filed a wrongful death lawsuit against him and have vowed to prevent Coleman from profiting in any way.
Joyce Meyer Ministries has been sympathetic to Coleman throughout this ordeal, releasing a heart felt statement regarding the triple homicide. Read the statement here. The ministry has also been fighting hard not to release 400 pages of records they have on Coleman as a former employee, but they were recently ordered to release the documents for the pending wrongful death suit against Coleman. These documents will reveal employee interviews, travel itineraries, complaints and disciplinary action, possible life insurance policies, and more.
The case has been brought back into the spotlight with the allegation that Coleman texted his mistress during his murdered family's funeral. Coleman allegedly shared a secret cell phone account and credit card with his mistress Tara Lintz and intended to marry her in 2010. Oy ve, we'll have to see what other seedy details emerge during the wrongful death suit and pending murder trial.
