Amy Bosley

Shortly before 5 am on May 17, 2005 Campbell County Kentucky 911 call center received a frantic call from Amy Bosley...
Amy Bosley: Someone is breaking into my house and my husband is fighting with him
911:What was that ma'am
Amy Bosley: Someone is breaking into my house and my husband....
NO! You cant go up there..It's my kids
911: Where are they? Where are they at ma'am?
phone disconnects..
911 hello? ma'am..
Amy Bosley: yes?
911: Alright, is he is the house now?
Amy Bosley: He just left but he shot my husband. Oh my God, he shot my husband!!
911: he shot your husband?
Amy Bosley: Yes! Oh my God!
Moments later a patrolman arrived at the Bosleys cabin. Amy Bosley tells him, He shot my husband, he shot my husband! She tells him the intruder fled out the back door. The patrolman pushes past her and there, lying on the bed is Bob Bosley riddled with bullets. His lips were blue..he was dead. He was face down on the bed, shot 7 times. when the detectives came...they knew it didn't look right. Made for TV crime scene. Too perfect..

Okay..give me a fricken break!! I listened to the call and copied down exactly what she said..first of all..what killer is going to let her sit on the phone and call 911? And when she says, No! you can't go up there! It's my kids..umm..that shows that he was right there where she was and he let her stay on the phone? For real? Seriously...OMG...when I listened to her 911 call..I KNEW she did it..I just knew..and I know..no one can say how another person reacts to tragedy...but I could just tell she was lying and the whole call was fake..

Well to say the least, she got caught..when the police went outside to see where the intruder ran off to, the grass had dew on it and it wasn't disturbed. When they were searching through her home, they found...wrapped up in a towel in the washer full of detergent, shell casings. They matched the gun that he was shot with. But they never said if they found the gun..hmm..I wondered about that.

It turns out that since she was the office manager for her husbands business, she was taking all the money that was supposed to be used to pay taxes. the IRS don't play that..so they kept calling and calling trying to get a meeting with her and her husband. he had no idea what was going on because she had all his cell phone calls forwarded to her phone and had all the mail going to a PO box with instructions that only she could retrieve the mail. her husband knew something was going on, but didn't know what. He was also considering a divorce. Well, she shot him and made sure he was dead. the money that she was pilfering from the business was over a million dollars..and with a plea bargain, she will be out of prison is about 15 years or so..so I'm sure when she gets out, she will disappear and be a very rich woman.

I don't get it. She was married to this man for 15 years, they had two kids..and I'm sorry..but any amount of money would not be worth my husbands life. And even if she hated him, any amount of money is not worth the gamble that you may end up going to court for days, weeks even years on end fighting for your freedom and ultimately end up in prison. It just wouldn't be worth it to me. I mean, even though she didn't get life, she is still giving up 15 years of her life for this money that HIS family will probably fight her for because they got stuck with the bill to the IRS..I think it was 1.7 million dollars..so really? Do you think they don't know she has that money hidden someplace? They will find it and have every right to take it from her. So it would have all been for nothing. Seriously stupid people..And WTH is UP with all these women in Kentucky that kill thier husbands? Really! Kentucky should be known as the domestic murder state.

What I think of our SYSTEM and Dixie Shanahan

For the most part, I think our system sucks! There are so many people in prison for crimes they didn't commit, and when a person that the police suspect is a murderer gets off, the police don't look for another suspect. Basically the crime goes unsolved. Most police do not want to admit that maybe they suspected the wrong person the whole time. I have to say, If someone murdered my husband, and the police suspected me and I was their sole suspect..I would be freaking out that the real murderer is out there, roaming free. I'd tell the cops, "Fine! You think it was me? Okay! But please keep looking! Don't focus just on me"! But it happens all the time. And why is it that people get different sentences in different states for basically the same crime? And why is it that the state gets to "assume" what happened in a crime and the defense doesn't get to do the same? The defense only has the truth on their side. The defense has no idea what really happened but they get to make up a theory of what happened and tell it to the jury to help sway the jury in their direction. It's so wrong. I have said it a million times..sometimes I would like to give up my right to be an American simply because of the way our judicial system works. it is scary. What happens if (God forbid) something bad happens to someone in my family and I am accused, or someone else in my family is accused, and we are innocent. If the cops decide you did it, then you did it as far as they can see and they will do everything they can to prove it. And they probably will succeed, just on circumstantial evidence. it scares the crap out of me! There are hundreds of people locked up forever for crimes they didn't commit. I want to give credit where credit is due..the law puts away ALOT of people who deserve to be put away..I agree that alot of people deserve to be in prison for life too..but my problem is there are a lot of people in prison for life that are no threat to our society. For example, Dixie Shanahan, who killed her husband after years and years of horrid abuse. She must serve at least 35 years before she is eligible for parole.Yet, there is a case where a woman shot her husband because she was writing bad checks and didn't want him to find out, an she only got 6 months! Yes! It's crazy! She used the battered wife defense, but no one believed it. He was a preacher, no one ever saw a mark on her, she never told anyone that he abused her until after she was caught, and she got 6 months. She served her time in a mental institution and gets to live her life as if nothing ever happened. Seriously, do people realize how long 35 years IS? I mean..that's practically my WHOLE life..and Dixie Shanahan will be in prison for 35 years because she just couldn't take it anymore. This man held her captive for days in their basement. He tied her hands up with metal coat hangers and threatened to kill her every day while he beat the crap out of her. My heart went out to her and so did many others, but she still has to serve 35 years and won't be out of prison until she is an old woman and her children will be grown. All because she just couldn't take it anymore. She literally snapped. it's not like she didn't call the cops either..she did..and he kept getting out of jail and convincing her he had changed. (Like they all do) She finally had a chance to put him away for a long time, but she left the state and just wanted to move on with her life and guess who came back to get her? Yup! Her husband came back and convinced her to take him back. All this woman wanted was to keep her family together, and all she wanted was to believe that the man she loved would change.
Well, she shot him...and then she left him in the bed that she shot him in for over a year. She just closed off the room and pretended it never happened...and folks..that was probably her downfall..if she would have called the cops immediately after she shot him, I'm sure she would be a free woman.
Woulda, coulda...shoulda...geesh!
