Her husband took his own life the same day.

Sandy Bentley was a dear friend of mine and asked me to tell the truth about the events leading up to her murder. Sandy was a gentle, kind, godly woman who was in an abusive relationship with a husband who was hooked on Vicodine and alcohol. Sandy had courageously began to find her way to a healthier, happier life when her journey was cut short. No matter how many people she told, no one would believe that her "executive" husband threatened her repeatedly to keep the secrets of his addictions and abuse. Her husband consistently denied his addictions to his family and friends. She sought help from the church, her friends, police and lawyers to no avail. Why is it so difficult for people to believe a woman is in an abusive situation? Where does she go for help? When all else fails, where does she go to protect her life? It is so very difficult to fight a lying abuser. What happens when the wrong person is believed and the true story is changed? She was failed by family and friends and was brutally murdered. It was important to Sandy that if he succeeded in murdering her, people would know why and the true story would be told. Sandy was my friend and I miss her and I hopes this brings her peace.
