Nicole Lynn Bowen was murdered by four perpetrators and a fifth after the fact, on March 29th, 2019, in Kentland, IN (Newton County).
Nicole was absolutely stunning mother or two young boys. She had an old soul and a voice to match. She felt deeply, as is often the case with these very special humans she turned to drugs to numb her pain. She was trying to overcome her demons just before her tortuous planned murder. Garett Kenneth Kirts, Ashley Garth, Talitha Beckley, Jasmine Parker, and Christopher Mathis are the trash that ended her life. Garett just pled guilty to murder and will be sentenced this coming January. Jasmine Parker took a plea of 1 year and 4 as a habitual offender. Talitha Beckley will decide next month whether she will except her plea or go to trial, same with Ashley Garth. Ash is charged with murder and conspiring to commit premeditated murder. Christopher Mathis pled guilty and was released the day of his sentencing with time served...he immediately reoffended 2 weeks after his release. Do Better Indiana!
Nicole's sweet family have been through hell in the last year and half with little hope for a quick ending anytime soon. I have grown to love them and have learned SO much from these amazing humans who have faced 5 devils and still find a way to keep goodness and love first.
