Husband accused of murdering his wife

KELLER -- After being told that his wife hadn't shown up for work Monday, Richard Sandlin never called his family from a Waco business meeting to check on Donna Sandlin's whereabouts.

Where he put the body was by my school and it was so scary. So now we think our school is haunted.

I attend Valley Mills High School and just to think that a couple of days ago that there was a dead body under the ground on OUR school property is really freaky. I hope justice is served

[Lou Ann Bates]

The idea that this murderer just happened to find our little town of Valley Mills of all the places to bury his dead wife is simply un-heard of. I'm a student at the Valley Mills High School and I just can't believe there has been a dead body hidden out on the land. This whole incident has caused me to stop believing that this town is all boring, now im always out looking for hidden dead bodies and stuff.

That man is one sick puppy

[Joel Kasperbauer]

This is astonishing, both for the city of Keller and the town where the body was found. Both are very low crime areas... and did this guy really think he would get away with this? Think about what he must be feeling right now sitting in jail, knowing the rest of his life will be spent behind bars. I have no remorse for the guy.

no matter what you are trying to hide about the real you it will come out sooner or later. it sickens me that so many people think they are so untouchable and better than others, well this proves to me that it doesn't matter how much money you have or who you are, if you do not have the Lord Jesus Christ in your life you will be found out for who you really are, and if you would just call out to the Lord in your time of need, He will hear you, He WILL HEAR YOU AND HE DOES LISTEN.

I knew Donna when our kids were in Sacred Heart School together.Donna was one of the nicest people I have ever known. She was always smiling, always had something nice to say and was very involved in the school for her children. I also knew Richard but never really cared for him- he seemed detached, uninvolved. Her parents were wonderful people- her dad was principal of Sacred Heart for a while and they were very involved in the Church-very caring,loving people. This is just a tragic situation for Donna and her children. They have my deepest sympathies.

Donna was one of the nicest people I had the pleasure of working with. For you young people at Valley Mills High, your campus is not haunted or creepy because of what her husband did. He's the creepy one. She would never want students to feel that way. Maybe some of you could create a tasteful memorial at the site where he left her to remember a lovely person who had children and friends that loved her very much. She did not deserve what he did to her. Her children did not deserve what he did to her or to them. My deepest sympathy goes out to all who loved her.

Your school is not haunted, her husband is just a _astard!

[Cliff Hatter]

I work with her sister and my heart goes out to her and her family. What was this fool thinking? The courts and God will deal with him now. May she rest in peace.

[tedwa]

what has happen to him ? when his court?

[Turlock Ca]

I knew the family of Sandlins and my heart goes out to Sara and Jordan. Richard was very much involved in the community while they lived in Turlock. Donna was also a wonderful person. It sucks that it happened and Sara and Jordan you will always have friend in Turlock Ca. Keep your heads up! Care for you both.

[Kelly Swerve]

That Joel Kasperbauer knows his stuff. Where can I find a man like him?

don't worry. your school isn't haunted. although it does kinda freak me out thinking of a dead body near our school. Then again, school's next to a cemetary!
