Reward Offered in Sullivan Murder

Full story: www.spartaexpositor.com

Published in the Sparta Expositor By Kim Swindell Wood Editor kim@myspartanews.com Published: Monday, August 10, 2009 8:17 AM CDT Family and friends of murder victim Terry Sullivan have joined forces to offer a reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of those involved in the January 2009 shooting death of the 50-year-old White County man. Joe Sullivan, Terry’s father, said he has been adamant about offering this reward since the day his son was found murdered at his Oakland Drive home, on Jan. 16, 2009. The reward will be issued to the individual with information “leading to the arrest and conviction of the person(s) involved in his [Terry] murder.” The case was initially handled by Sparta Police Department, with the TBI heading up the investigation. No arrests have been made. However, District Attorney General Randy York had stated during his most recent interview with The Expositor that investigators are diligently pursuing all leads in the case. Joe and Vauda Sullivan said they hope the reward will encourage someone to come forward who might have information that could pull together the pieces of the puzzle to solve this crime. Call the TBI at (931) 526-5041, ext. 106. This is the direct line for the Special Agent in charge of the case. Information may also be directed to Joe Sullivan, 738-5904.

This is great news. I pray that this reward is the deciding factor in someone coming forward to help the TBI in finding Terry's killer. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't think of Terry and pray that his killer feels a heavy heart. God bless all who contributed to this reward. Pray for JUSTICE!

It will be 7 months ago on August 16th that Terry Lynn Sullivan's life was senselessly taken at his home on Oakland Drive in Sparta, TN. If anyone has ANY information, big or small, PLEASE come forward. The TBI is looking for that little something, a conversation, phone call, statement, anything to link this horrible puzzle together. The TBI have a lot of information, just in need of that one last little piece. Won't you PLEASE come forward and help? You would want the same if it was your Loved one. Terry's Mother & Father are suffering so bad. It just breaks my heart to hear the cries. Cries for peace, cries for answers, cries for Justice. Is this not the least we could do for Terry? Terry NEVER hurt a soul. He would give you his last dollar or the shirt off his back. He was sitting at home alone on that chilly January night when person(s) decided he needed to be taken from this life. IT WAS NOT FAIR!!! It was not a home invasion nor was it a robbery. It was a MURDER!!! All we're asking is if you know anything at all, now's your chance. Call the TBI or Joe Sullivan, help them put this puzzle together and bring Justice for Terry Lynn Sullivan. As most of Sparta & White Co. already know, the Sullivan family has always helped those in need, no matter how big or small......... won't you come forward and help them when their in need? God Bless

Danny odell, who is living with Terry's wife. He is not worried about the twenty five thousand cause he thinks if he stays with Cheryl he will get the 2.5 insurance money.

By the way he already has three of Terry's vehicles, terrys wife, terrys home, actually he has Terry's life.

Im not sure they really should be counting on the 2.5 because she will never receive it. She knows who killed Terry, she don't want justice because that would ruin her plan. EVERYBODY you talk to pretty much knows whose behind Terry's MURDER. If the TBI has read all this that been written on these topix they have pieced the puzzle together.

Terry was in the livingroom eating, so how did he end up laying in the diningroom floor by the diningroom table? Seems to me when the food was taken home to him by his wife someone went with her or meet her there. If it was the OJ look alike Terry would never have suppected anything because he was in his house alot.

Think of this, the meeting at the motel in Cookeville with Cheryl was the OJ look alike.

Cheryl where's the Hummer you were driving, what you doing waiting for the 2.5? I wouldn't bet on that.

B was fired the day after Terry's murder, you trying to put the blame on him? WRONG MAN... he didn't do it. My understanding the OJ look alike has committed murder before, what would stop him from killing again, even a great man as Terry.

These are just a few things I know and my gut feeling is if this reward isn't acted upon soon the TBI will have it solve and a arrest will be made without the reward money ever being claimed. Its not long coming.

The Sullivan's will have justice soon.

Since you know so much who failed the lie dectector test? Sure wasn't me. Do you know? If you don't I can tell you.

Im not involved in the murder but I am involved. I am wanting the truth to be told as soon as possible. I want not only justice for Terry, but peace of mind for the family. Imagine the pain and heartache they are going through. Do you have a son, I do I have two and she better thank the good lord upabove she wasn't my daughter in law. Joe and Vauda are much better people than I am cause I know she knows exactly what happened. I am not as patient as they have been.

Fact is no one other than his family that wants Justice for Terry more than me.

If you know something as a fact then spill it. Not on here but to the TBI. Spill what you know not what you heard or were told. But all you and your cronies are doing is getting on here spewing vicious lies and half truths. For you own personal gain. You are hiding on here under these fake names spewing this crap.
This Is not the way to solve this.

mee mee, I don't know who you are but I LOVE the way you think.... Oh' wait, it's the truth you state and I can agree to that. We are on the same page and I think a lot of other people are starting to see the BIG picture. I hope & pray something is done soon! I hope she pays!! She will go down, wait and see. Keep up the good work. You seem to know the facts!

Oh' and the Hummer she was in, it's her Private Investigator....... I heard about that a few days ago. She's paid out some BIG BUCKS to get the P.I. & the BIG Defense Atty in McMinnville. As another poster said "that's what innocent people do"..........NOT!

Let's keep it up, the public needs to know just what kind of person she really is. Justice for Terry!

Private Investigator? Like she wants to find out who did it??? HA HA HA. She has got to be kidding herself if she thinks for one minute that's helping her any. She is looking more quilty every day and as each minute passes her minutes of running free are drawing closer to an end.

She needs the atty ok, bet he has already got her figured out too, boy he knows hes making easy money. If I was him I would certainly play it out and take her money as he watches her fall flat on her face when this all comes out. Hope he made her pay a big retainer up front. LOL

Its not over yet, but I already have a since of relief just knowing how much closer it is getting til the Sullivan's finally can feel a little peace. Cheryl has got to be worrying herself to death tho, and probably not sleeping quite as well sense this is finally drawing to a end. You think she thought she could actually get away with doing this? How stupid can a person be, didn't she realize his family was not going to sit back and not do or say anything at all?

Keep praying, the good Sullivan family will be on top, they have loss a priceless possession that can't be replaced BUT SHE will pay and they WILL at least have closure SOON. I DO BELIEVE. God is going to bless this family with relief soon.

I know about that Hummer. A friend of mine said she talked to him (the P I) and he told her he was getting two different stories. One story from her(Cheryl) and another story when he came to town and that her Atty. didn't know if he wanted to keep her as a client or not. They P.I. was hired to find out who knew what and what people had already told the TBI so that her Atty and her could start planning a Defense case. Wonder why? I'm with mee mee, I'm sure the Atty can read right through her as most can and see she is easy money, along with easy other things might I add. I know a lot about Cheryl and have proof of most that I know of her and boy let me tell you, it ain't good!!!!!!!!!! She has a cold day coming to her, that's for sure! Terry did NOT deserve what she had done to him nor did she deserve a good husband like Terry. She has wrecked so many lives and families it's not even funny. I feel so sorry for Tyler. He hasn't even gotten to see his Granny & Pa Sullivan since before Christmas and he didn't even get to go to his Daddy's funeral. I could go on but I will stop. I pray for Justice for Terry and Peace & Comfort for the Joe Sullivan Family. May God be with them and continue to guide them. I will say a extra prayer tonight for Terry's sister Daphne. She is having a really hard time and she is the sweetest thing and I hate to see her hurting so bad. She will not give up the fight to see Justice for her brother. God please give her strength to fulfill her mission. Justice for Terry.

There you go again, giving it away. Only you Cheryl would know if it is half truths or whole truths. Instead of using Hey You, why not just us Cheryl or I know another good 8 letter word for you. You can fill in the blanks m_r_e_e_! Fits you perfectly! Personal gain, you know all about that. Fact is, you've GAINED NOTHING!! Sad, Sad, Sad! Your one to talk about cronies. Girl, you got more cronies than an Ape's got banana's! Wait, your cronie does look like an Ape! Keep giving it away Big Girl, your finally showing your true colors in public. Can you imagine how packed that court room is going to be?? It will be nice to see you in bracelets and I'm not talking about the Justice for Terry one's that we wear. Those cold metal ones. Your cold so you should be right comfy in them!! Maybe you should talk and try and collect the $25,000 Reward money. You could use it for commissary money.

You will also have a tendency to get hot under the collar, especially if someone isn't doing things as quickly as you'd like. Try to stop yourself getting in a rage because once that happens it will be difficult to cool down again. Maybe you need some fresh air?
