Hi, I'm Lindsay Graham, the host of Wonder East Podcast American Scandal.
Our newest series looks at the story of OxyContin,
a popular painkiller that helps spur an epidemic of addiction and drug abuse,
in which prompted a broad campaign to hold the pharmaceutical industry accountable.
Listen to American Scandal on Amazon Music or wherever you get your podcasts.
They were partners in business and in love. They were an adorable couple.
Both of them were attractive.
She was in love with him.
Until one hot summer night,
when their romance comes to a fiery end,
they'd had a record of a car fire.
They found a body basically burned to beyond recognition.
It was a grizzly scene.
Was this the result of a deadly lover's quarrel?
He was having a relationship with the married woman.
Or was it something far more deliberate and cold blooded?
He came home and police were waiting for him.
They found this really frightening history of violence.
She had a problem with not being accepted, not being wanted,
and I think she took rejection very hard.
Passionate relationships can sometimes go from the good kind of passion to the bad kind of passion.
It was an evil person doing an evil thing,
and there was a great loss due to this horrific incident. The call came in around 4.13 in the morning.
Firefighters arrived and they had no idea what caused this fire.
They knew the flames were really high and they could do it.
They were like, what's going on?
They were like, what's going on?
They were like, what's going on?
They were like, what's going on?
They were like, what's going on? They were like, what's going on? 4.13 in the morning. Firefighters arrived, and they had no idea what caused this fire.
They knew the flames were really high,
and they could tell by how raging this fire was
that it had been set pretty recently.
Once the flames are extinguished,
firefighters take a closer look at the car's charred ruins
and find something gruesome.
They found a body in the trunk.
It was burned to beyond recognition,
and they know that at this point there's some kind of a crime scene.
Homicide detectives soon arrive and begin processing the scene.
The license plate was actually off of the car on the ground.
A quick search determines that the vehicle is a Ford Mustang
registered to a man named Jimmy T. Mar Jr.
Investigators obtain Jimmy T. Mar's phone number and home address
in the city of Deer Park, about 25 miles south.
The police called Jimmy, and when they contacted him,
of course, they knew that wasn't him and the trunk.
Once police realized that Jimmy wasn't in the trunk of the car,
they needed to figure out who it was.
That's when Jimmy tells police that his 30-year-old brother Troy
T. Marr took his car the night before.
Jimmy and Troy lived together and they shared vehicles.
Troy had his truck and Jimmy had a Mustang and they would borrow
each other's cars.
And Jimmy reported that he'd loaned his car
to his brother Troy, and he had not come home
that night of July 3rd.
They know that Troy is missing,
and they quickly begin to add up two-and-two
and come to the conclusion that that's probably
his body in the car.
Investigators are now tasked with answering
some difficult questions.
Who would do something like this to Troy?
And why?
Born in 1969, Troy Lee Timar was raised in the small town of Deer Park,
the second oldest of four children.
The Timars had lived in the community a long time.
They were well known, especially because Troy had been such a star in high school.
Troy was a homecoming king.
He was a great athlete, very popular in high school.
Troy's just very outgoing, and I don't know anybody that had anything negative to say about Troy.
Because he was funny,
and just he never stopped.
He was going a mile in it.
After high school, Troy stayed into your park
and gained a solid reputation in construction,
eventually working at a company called Capital Construction.
He was the project manager at the time for them.
Troy would oversee the financing of the projects,
and Troy would procure the contracts,
as well as the material.
Troy wanted to succeed in whatever he did.
That included all of his pursuits,
even when it came to women.
He was a young man who was single,
and he had several girlfriends at various times,
and sometimes at the same time.
But in February 1996,
Troy met a woman who would cause the Carefree Bachelor
to finally consider settling down.
Her name was Teresa Terry Horeline.
Terry had a pretty good upbringing. Her dad was a firefighter.
Real respected.
She had a younger brother named Donald.
She was close to her brothers.
The family was wonderful, well known in Montgomery.
Terry and I met in seventh grade.
We were in home room class together,
and we just hit it off.
We were just very, we had a great friendship.
Unlike Troy, Teri wasn't a standout at her high school.
Teri was very quiet, but she was very, very pretty.
We had a lot of guys at school who were interested in her, but she never dated too many people.
She wanted to get married right away and wanted to have kids.
She didn't talk about college, she didn't talk about doing anything else.
But Terry's dream of settling down and starting a family wouldn't come easily.
At 32 years old, Terry found herself a twice divorced single mother,
just trying to make ends meet.
I think she just needed somebody to be with her.
And I think that's what she really wanted was a family.
Though Terry's love life was tumultuous,
she had better luck when it came to her career.
She was very good at bookkeeping and accounting.
She was a whiz at that.
Those skills helped Terry land a job
as the office manager and bookkeeper
at Capital Construction in 1996,
which is where she met Troy Timar.
The two young co-workers shared an undeniable connection.
Troy and Terry had a long common.
They were both born in small towns.
They were pretty detailed-oriented in their work.
Both of them were attractive.
After a whirlwind romance, Terry moved into Troy's house
in Deer Park.
He was very in love with Teresa.
Everything he did, he needed a lot for her.
They came to work together and they go home together.
And he just like he always wanted
he needed to be there for her.
For the next two years, the couples bond only grew stronger,
so much so that they decided to go into business together.
In January 1998, Troy and Terry started their own construction
company out of their home.
Team R construction.
Troy wanted to be his own boss.
He was a leader.
And I think the company was the way to keep them
two together every day.
Treesau was going to do all the clerical work.
She would write the checks out.
Troy was the guy that go out to find work.
For the first year, the new company thrived.
But as work slowed down, projects were harder to come by
and the company struggled.
To help stay on top of bills, Terry took a second bookkeeping job with a local plumbing contractor.
But in December 1998, Terry ran into some serious trouble
at her second job.
The owner of that company discovered
that some inbezzling was going on,
and the trail led to Terry.
And when he confronted her, she admitted it.
Terry pled guilty to felony theft and was put in a program
to make restitution.
She claimed she had taken the money to help Troy
when his business was struggling.
Unaware of her illegal activities,
Troy was stunned when he learned the truth.
There was a lot of strain at that point
put on the relationship between Troy and Teresa.
Troy tells Teresa, maybe you should move out.
She was very reluctant, but around March 1999,
she does move out.
She ended up moving in with her parents.
Troy moved in with his brother, Jimmy.
Despite their breakup, Troy and Terry continued to see each other on and off.
And as the months passed, they began to mend their relationship.
Troy was a compassionate, caring person who wanted to see the best
out of everyone, including Trissel.
They were in love.
They did live together, and he cares about her.
The door wasn't entirely closed on her and Troy
getting back together.
But the possibility of a rekindled romance
seems gone forever.
Now that police have found the remains of a burnt body,
they believe is Troy T. Mar.
Coming up, a horrific crime comes into focus.
They notice there was a trail of burned grass
leading away from the car.
Whoever set the fire was smart enough to make a gasoline fuse.
And investigators try to unravel a web of lies.
They were seeing each other for about a month and a half
before he died.
In Warren County, Ohio, a body found in the trunk of a burned-out Mustang is believed to be that of 30-year-old Troy Timar.
The area where the car was found gives investigators a possible window into the perpetrator's mindset.
This location certainly suggests premeditation
because there's nobody around for quite a distance
in every direction.
It was probably appearing like the ideal place to put a body.
No one's prints were found on the car due to the fact
that there was a fire.
And as all reports were, this was a very, very hot fire.
On the ground, investigators locate their first big clue.
They find the gun casings near the vehicle.
Investigators also find traces of what appears to be a possible
accelerant used to ignite the car.
They noticed there was a trail of burn grass leading away from the car,
suggesting that the car had been doused and gasoline and whoever set the
fire was smart enough to make a gasoline fuse that went from probably 25
feet to the car,
which was indicative that someone had let a fire
from the distance.
As investigators wrap up the crime scene,
the medical examiner conducts an autopsy
and confirms the body is, in fact, Troy Timar.
It was shocking to see somebody who
has had so much promise and was such a likable, fun person
to lose his life this way so young.
Troy had been about 180 pounds.
And the weight of the body that they removed from the trunk
was 96 pounds, which is not uncommon in burn victims
of people who have been burned severely.
Here was this healthy, attractive, outgoing,
athletic, young guy, and just to see that happen was very sad.
The autopsy also determines that Troy did not die from the fire.
The autopsy revealed that Troy had been shot twice in the back.
Later, they determined that the gunshots were
from a 40 caliber handgun or weapon.
That he probably died or almost certainly died
before being burned.
And it looked like Troy had blood to death in the car.
Their speculation was that the person who fired the shots
was leaning in through the driver's side window
and fired the shots into the victim as they stood outside the car.
With his identity confirmed, detectives take a trip
to see Troy's family
and deliver the tragic news of his death.
They were very close.
No one could believe that something ill would happen to Troy.
Detectives questioned Troy's brother and roommate Jimmy T. Mar. Jr.
Hoping he can shed some light on Troy's whereabouts
in the 24 hours before he was killed.
Jimmy says that the last time he saw his brother was the day before.
He had seen Troy sitting on the couch watching TV.
Troy intended to stay home because he had plans to work at a benefit the next day. Parking cars is a volunteer.
Jimmy went to take a shower, and when he came back out,
Troy was gone, and so was the Ford Mustang.
Jimmy says when he returned home the next morning at around 10.30 a.m.,
Troy was still gone.
Police wonder if Jimmy is hiding anything.
First, police had to exclude Jimmy.
It is his car, and bad blood between brothers
isn't unheard of.
So they needed to figure out if Jimmy and Troy had any problems.
And what they found out was that they were really very close.
I mean, they were business partners.
They were best friends.
They were roommates.
He was pretty quickly excluded.
He was the most outspoken in the family.
I think he was devastated.
He was physically devastated.
Jimmy tells detectives that he has no idea
who would want to hurt his brother.
Troy's just very outgoing,
and I don't know anybody
that had anything negative to say about Troy.
As detectives head back to the station,
word of the heinous crime has already spread throughout Dear Park.
It's big news for there to be a body in a burning car.
That kind of thing just doesn't happen.
It was a rural country community, not much crime.
Rarely would we have a murder.
Investigators spend the next few days interviewing several of Troy's long-time friends
and learn a surprising detail about the 30-year-old's love life.
Since his breakup with Terry, Troy had started secretly dating a woman named Gabby. Troy first meets Gabby through friends
at a restaurant since an adi.
Troy and Gabby hit it off and they started seeing each other,
but they would go off together without friends being aware.
Why the secrecy?
Troy's friends explain it's because Gabby lives in another town, with her husband.
Troy was having a relationship with a married woman.
Now, police want to speak with both Troy's secret girlfriend Gabby and her husband.
In a police investigation, when you find out
that one party is having an affair,
you're going to look at those people as possible suspects.
Police meet with Gabby at her home.
When she learns of Troy's death, she seems devastated.
She seemed genuinely heart sick and hurt.
I mean, her boyfriend is gone.
Investigators questioned Gabby about her whereabouts
during the time Troy went missing on July 3rd.
She claims she was with her husband on a camping trip.
Police were looking at Gabby, but more than that,
they were looking at her husband.
Because if he had found out that his wife was having an affair with Troy,
that would be motive for murder.
Coming up, police confront the husband of Troy's secret lover.
There's a toy in the husband of Troy's secret lover.
Is Troy trying to contact you here in the last week or two weeks, right?
No, not then.
Okay.
But the investigation reveals someone is lying.
He came home and police were waiting because she had accused him of domestic violence.
Detectives in Deer Park, Ohio are investigating the brutal murder of 30-year-old Troy Timar.
24 hours after his body was found in the trunk of a burning car,
police have just uncovered a startling secret
about Troy's love life.
Troy was having a relationship with a married woman.
They were seeing each other for about a month and a half
before he died.
So that brought the married woman and her husband
into a suspect status.
With Troy's lover fully cooperating,
detectives decide they need to speak with her husband
face-to-face.
They ask him to come in for a formal interview.
When asked about Troy, Gabby's husband admits
that they knew each other.
There's a dear more Troy, the one trying to contact you
in the last week or two weeks, right?
No, no.
And...
The husband did not know that there was a relationship between Troy and his wife.
Police don't tell him about his wife's affair, but they do press him on his whereabouts
over the holiday weekend.
What he was doing was Saturday night, and I'll wait till Saturday evening.
We were at home until probably more, too,
probably actually left the house after two.
The husband says that afternoon, his boss invited him
and his wife on a camping trip.
Based on his claims, he and Gabby would have been
60 miles away from the crime scene the
night of the murder.
His boss also was able to verify that.
The investigators were able to determine that both of them were busy out of state, clearing
them from, as being possible suspects.
After finishing their interviews with Gabby and her husband,
investigators Sapina Troy's phone records,
in hopes they might shed some light on his murder.
According to his call history,
Troy had received several phone calls on the day he disappeared.
As they began looking at phone records,
they find that Terry had been calling Troy non-stop,
July 3rd.
But one call in particular stands out.
Around 9 o'clock that night, detectives
verify that Terry had paged Troy, and he had called her back.
It appears to be the last time Troy had spoken to anyone.
And then afterward, there were no more pages, no more phone calls.
For police, the fact that Terry was the last person to speak to Troy on the phone raises
red flags.
And their suspicions only grow when one of Troy's friends
contacts detectives.
Troy's friend told police, maybe there's
somebody else you should talk to.
She was talking about Teresa.
Troy's friend tells police most people assumed Troy's breakup
with Terry had been over her embezzlement scheme.
But the friend has information about an alarming incident
that had occurred just four months prior.
What the police had been able to gather
was that Troy was arrested and charged
with domestic abuse. And when he asked Treeset to move out that Troy was arrested, in charge of domestic abuse.
And when he asked Theresa to move out right around his birthday, he came home and police were
waiting because she had accused him of domestic violence.
She claimed that she had been thrown down the basement, Starris.
She was bleeding, and the allegations were enough that Troy was actually arrested and
taken to jail.
But Teresa had eventually admitted that she fabricated the allegations.
We find out that Teresa stabbed herself with sewing needles.
Ultimately, she says that she made up the allegations and Troy's released from jail without charges.
That was really the deal, Greka, for him,
from the looks of it as the way the events happened from there.
And I think at that point, that's when he wanted her
and out of his life.
It's clear that Troy's relationship with Terry
had been volatile, but could it have somehow led to his death?
Terry was troubled, and that became pretty clear.
She seems to be that kind of person
who needed attention and needed some kind of help.
But is Terry capable of murder?
To answer that question, detectives decide
it's time to speak with her.
And she agrees to come to the station for an interview.
Terry appears devastated about Troy's death
and claims that despite their break-up,
she and Troy had remained friends.
Their relationship at that point between Terry and Troy
apparently continued off and on until he came up missing.
When detectives asked Terry where she was the night of July 3,
she readily admits she had been with Troy.
Troy came to pick her up between 10 and 10 and 30,
and she was very clear about that in her conversations
with the detectives.
They had gone to a park in Pleasant Ridge,
and walked around as they used to do.
Terry told detectives that she got home about 1230.
Terry claims Troy dropped her back at her parents' house.
Terry was dropped off, which then her father
seized her go and come inside.
Anyone who would establish a timeline for Teresa's activities,
they were important, such as her parents.
To double-check Terry's alibi, detectives pay a visit to her home,
where she lives with her parents and her younger brother, Eric Hoorline.
Teresa's dad, Don Senior, is interviewed by police,
and he does say that Teresa got' had got home around 12.30
in the morning, which jived with Trees' alibi.
She came home.
She calmly went upstairs, came down,
and started doing her nails.
Trees' father says his son, Eric, arrived home shortly after.
And Eric and Trees stayed up while he went to bed.
Investigators sit down with Eric
to confirm his father's story,
as well as ask him about his own whereabouts
earlier that evening.
Eric Corline had stated he had been
to a AA meeting at 11 o'clock. After the meeting, Eric says he went to Waffle House for a cup of coffee and then home where
he visited with Terry.
With Terry's alibi confirmed by her family, investigators are back at square one. We didn't know who let the fire.
Just because there was a fire in someone had caused it,
did not indicate who had done it.
The gun casings had to be matched to the actual gun,
and they did not have a gun to match.
A lot of the evidence, the trace evidence,
was burned up in the fire.
It was all circumstantial.
They just didn't have enough.
Months pass with no new leads.
Then years, the case officially goes cold.
The likelihood of solving a murder that's been languishing for six years is pretty small.
Coming up, an unexpected development breathes new life into the case.
That begs the question, why would you lie about what you did that night?
And a new clue points the finger at a deadly deceiver.
She had this really frightening history of violence.

It's been four years since 30-year-old Troy Timar was shot to death and his body burned
in the trunk of a car.
And police aren't any closer to proving who is responsible.
After the initial investigation, the case went cold.
In April of 2003, a special task force at the Warren County Sheriff's Office is formed
to take another look at the stalled murder case.
Since Troy's ex, Terry Horline, was the last person to see him alive,
the task force focuses on her statement and finds it a little far-fetched.
The fact that he had broken up with her,
considering her false allegations of domestic violence,
that he would be seen alone with her
in the middle of the night just seemed very odd.
Troy had moved on.
He had other interests that did not make sense
that he would be with her without some bizarre reason.
The cold-case investigators also re reexamine Terry's alibi.
Terry told detectives that she got home at about 12.30
and that was more or less confirmed by her family.
One of the detectives decides to map out the route
Terry claimed she and Troy had traveled that night.
One of the things he did was to meticulously follow the route
that she claimed in her alibi that Troy and Terry
had taken that night when they drove around together.
And he followed it and there was no way
that she could have done it in the time that she claimed.
They spoke with the park ranger
who was responsible for that area,
and the park was closed and no one was there.
Then that begs the question of,
why would you lie about what you did that night?
To find out, investigators dig deeper into Terry's background
and what they discover is shocking.
She had this incredibly sketchy or frightening background
of trying to hurt people and in some cases succeeding.
She had a very hard time when men would reject her.
She couldn't handle that.
Teresa had a tendency to lash out at men,
and she did it in very violent ways.
Terry's first recorded incident of violent and vengeful behavior
toward a man who had rejected her was in 1995,
shortly after her second husband filed for divorce.
He had told her that he was leaving her,
and he wakes up one night, and she's stabbing him in the neck.
She barely missed his carotid artery,
and that would have certainly killed him,
and he was fortunate to live.
And then she promptly was in a psychiatric hospital.
Back in those days, that was not uncommon.
Someone who had psychiatric problems
would go to the hospital instead of being prosecuted.
And probably with the support of the husband,
that's probably why they weren't charges.
In less than a year of counseling, she's back,
and this kind of pattern continued.
The cold case team finds another man, Theresa had dated, named John Trob.
According to John, his trouble with Teresa started in the fall of 1995
when he attempted to end their relationship.
We were dating and I was in the process of breaking up with her
and just kind of being friends would go in different ways.
The impending break-up seemed amicable until 3 a.m.
on the morning of November 30th when John was awoken
by an intruder.
I see the door kind of cracked open and I raise up
and went like this in front of my face
and I had to hit me right like that
and cut those two fingers off.
The hatchet wielding a salant ran off
and turned himself into police two days later.
It was determined from speaking with the person who
admitted that he did that and went to prison.
He was convinced to do that by treason.
But there was nothing that pointed exactly, you know, to her.
Terry was never really held accountable for her crimes,
and there were several that should have put her in prison.
Now, eight years later, investigators wonder if Terry's pattern of violent behavior could
have escalated to the murder of Troy Timar.
I think her inability to deal with rejection caused her to snap.
These repeated incidents of violence kind of made her the better suspect.
But had Terry acted alone.
From her past, it's clear she had a pattern
of convincing others to do her dirty work.
I think all of the detectives
were knew that she would have had to have help
because he weighed 180 pounds
and how was she going to get him out of the driver's seat
into the trunk of the car.
To identify Terry's possible accomplice, she going to get him out of the driver's seat and into the trunk of the car.
To identify Terry's possible accomplice, Cold Case detectives focus on Terry's whereabouts
the night of the murder.
They re-examine her alibi and decide
to question her brother, Eric Horeline, again.
The Cold Case team was able to investigate
the alibi's much better.
For example, Eric Corline had stated he had been to a AA meeting late at night.
Police called the AA facility and talked to a building supervisor who said there was
no meeting at that time.
His alibi was very shaky and had holes in it,
so they became more and more interested in Eric
as an accomplice to Terry.
Detectives learned that since Troy's murder,
Terry appears to have successfully moved on.
In 2001, she married a man named Eric Voss,
and the two had an 18-month-old son.
Terry and I talked about Troy, but he was tragically killed somehow
that she didn't know how.
And I asked Terry, did the police question you on that?
And she said, yeah, they did, but I was at home.
And my father could verify her that.
And I said, Terry, I believe there's no way
you would have anything to do her that. And I said, Terry, I believe there's no way you would have anything to do with that.
In June 2005, cold case investigators talk to Terry.
Hoping to go to Terry into a confession,
investigators confront her with their suspicions.
The only way I can see you getting out from under this
was leniency, is I'm convinced you didn't act alone
that you had help if not with the actual murder,
with the actual, with the cover up afterwards,
with disposing a choice body.
I'm giving you an opportunity to tell you
who helped you with that.
Now, I can probably guess that one comes to my mind as your brother, Eric.
Oh, God.
Just because I was close to Troy does not mean I killed him.
I don't know why everyone thinks that I'm...
Because the truth and the evidence points to you.
Despite the pressure, Terry never changes her story. And without a confession, police don't have enough evidence to arrest her.
So detectives shift their attention to her brother, Eric.
When they decided to bring him in, he was troubled.
And this might be the way you'd get that door open
to get him to finally admit what he'd done.
Coming up, investigators roll the dice
in their interview with Eric Horline.
But will their gamble pay off?
The lead detective sat down and just said,
why don't you just finally tell the truth?
And it'll set yourself free from this.

After years of dead ends, a new investigation
into Troy T. Mar's murder has just unleashed
ghosts from his ex-girlfriends past.
She had this really frightening history of violence.
When Teresa is rejected, she responds violently, and it's a pattern with her.
A pattern that police believe led her to kill Troy
Timar after he broke off their relationship.
All of the detectives were pretty well
convinced that she was the one who had killed Troy,
but they just couldn't prove it.
In a last-ditch effort to prove Terry's guilt, cold case detectives turned to her brother
and suspected co-conspirator, Eric Horline.
Eric kind of seemed as spiral out of control.
At some point, a few years after Troy's murder, he had a lot more interaction with police.
After the case is reopened by cold case investigators, Eric is re-interviewed in 2005.
And at this point, his story starts to change.
Eric said I didn't shoot him.
The next question was who did.
And that's when the damn finally broke.
Eric says that about a month before Troy died,
Teresa asked him for a gun that he had.
She said she wanted to scare somebody.
He explained that he had loaned her a Glock 40,
which was the blistics of the gunshot wounds.
which was the blistics of the gunshot wounds.
Then, around 10.30 p.m. on the night of July 3rd, Eric claims he received a frantic call from his sister.
Eric was eating at a waffle house when he got the call
from his sister, Terry, and she asked him to come help her
because she'd had a fight with Troy.
Eric says that he drove to the location he was told to,
to pick Terry up.
And when he got out of the car, Troy was already dead.
He gets there.
He sees Troy on the ground outside the driver's seat
of the car, blood to death.
And immediately tells Terry that they
need to call an ambulance.
Terry says you've got to help me.
At that point, Eric says he made the decision
to help his sister get away with murder.
He described how he had put Troy's body in the trunk.
And that basically resolved the question of how
Teresa could have possibly gotten the body in the trunk
of the car.
Eric says they left the crime scene to get rid of the murder weapon.
Teresa tells Eric that the gun is in her purse. She goes and tosses it in a trash bin.
The siblings return to the scene later that morning to douse the car and Troy's body with gasoline.
The fire was only burning for just a short amount of time.
And that was that for something in the morning.
After his confession, Eric Corline
is arrested and charged with aggravated murder.
We agreed to reduce the charges as part of the deal
to get him to testify.
Eric Corline's testimony was vital.
We were able to verify several of the facts
in his statement that implicated his sister.
Eric takes the deal, finally giving investigators
the evidence they need to arrest Terry.
I was shocked that Terry was arrested.
I never knew all the problems that she had. She'd never showed any kind of violence when I was around.
She was so quiet, I was just very shocked to hear
that she could actually be a part of something like that.
On October 23rd, 2006, Terry Voss finally goes to trial
for the murder of Troy Timmar.
She pleads not guilty.
The prosecution opens their case by presenting their theory
that Terry called Troy on July 3rd and convinced him to meet her
at the abandoned farmhouse.
Please think she might have threatened to hurt herself.
Troy being a good man probably cared enough
still about her at that point to try and do something to intervene
and talk to her at least, and so he went to see her.
Prosecutors theorize when Troy arrived and learned that Terry
had manipulated him once again, he had bulked at her advances.
Enraged that he did not want her back,
Terry pulled out a gun and shot him twice.
While she stood outside of his driver's side window.
I think he just got suckered in coming out that night with her.
He showed up, and she killed him.
Terry's brother testifies that he helped her dispose
of the body.
But Terry's defense tries to discredit Eric's testimony.
They tried to establish that Eric was unreliable,
and that pointed the finger at Eric
as being the one who had committed the murder.
The jury isn't convinced.
On October 26, Terry is convicted of aggravated murder.
She received life in prison with the eligibility for parole
after serving 30 years.
For his part in covering up the murder,
Eric receives a much lighter sentence.
Eric Corline pled to abuse of a corpse
and tampering with evidence
and received a sense of five years in prison.
The maximum penalty for their offenses.
I personally feel like Eric should of him more time.
He may not have been the one to actually kill Troy,
but he helped.
For those who spent years longing for justice,
Terry's conviction is a long time coming.
It's scary to think that if her brother hadn't confessed, that she would still be out there.
And who knows how many more people she would have tried to hurt.
This was a sad case among so many that we see just because Troy had so much to offer.
And it's just kind of heartbreaking to see somebody lose their life this way.
In 2006, Eric Horline was sentenced to five years in prison.
He was released in 2011.
Teresa Voss is serving her sentence at the Day in Correctional Institution and will become eligible for parole in July 20, 2038.
She and Eric Voss divorced in 2007, Tori Tamar's life and legacy is memorialized
at Deer Park High School,
to the press box is named in his honor.
