EL DORADO - After Bill Moore calmly pleaded guilty Tuesday to killing an Andover woman five years ago, Doug Mould talked of the wife and mother he and his three children lost.

“There is no closure in these sorts of situations,” Mould said of the loss of his wife, Carol, in a violent attack in their home...


Moore, 56, pleaded guilty to a reduced charge of second-degree murder.

Had he gone to trial, Moore faced first-degree murder and life in prison.

...Moore could face nearly 13 years when he returned for sentencing May 10.

Mould, 46, was found dead in her burning house, just off K-254, on Sept. 22, 2004...

Then last May 20, paramedics received a call that Moore was suicidal at his home. “I killed Carol Mould,” Moore told paramedic Dom Domebo...

During his confession, Moore said that he knew Mould because their sons served together in Boy Scouts. Moore said he went to her house hoping to have sex with her.

Under the plea agreement, Moore will not be able to appeal his sentence...

Butler County Attorney Jan Satterfield’s decision to offer Moore the plea...
.
So what will Butler County Attorney Jan Satterfield decide what to do about the disappearance of Adam Herrman? It is pretty clear that Valerie Herrman killed him, and Doug Herrman has kept his yap shut all these years.
.
If Carol Mould's murderer can walk in 13 years, will Satterfield even bother to charge the Herrmans? Could it be she's scared to proceed? Valerie Herrmans own family is willing to testify against her. What's stopping the filing of charges?
.
Maybe we need to just wait until Satterfield can get voted out and replaced by someone who knows the job. My own opinion.
