Rohleder sentenced to life without parole in October murder

A Wicomico County District Court Judge sentenced a Hebron man this morning to life without parole for the murder of his girlfriend.

[Patsy Lanning]

Thank you God for this day; please take care of our dear friend, Wendy Irene Floyd with you in Heaven. She will be forever missed and forever loved.

Jeffrey Rohleder is a monster that deserves death for taking the life of a Community serving, warm-hearted, loving friend and dedicated Mother with his own hand. May he forever have sleepless nights and haunting dreams for he deserves no better.

[Tammy]

Jeffrey Rohlender deserves so much worse then life in prison and I hope he meets that fate one day. He took such a wonderful, caring, loving person.

Wendy, we all love you and will miss you deeply.

[Unknown]

Jeffrey Rohleder deserves death. What a horrible, horrible person. I wish nothing but for him to remain in prison for eternity.

[Ohio resident]

I knew Jeffrey Rohleder when he lived in Ohio. What a scum bag he was. Addicted to drugs and alcohol, he often times mentioned his own life.... why Did he have to take Wendy's??? What a waste.

[Ohio Resident]

i knew Jeff for 10 years he had perfect attendence for over 5 years in the job he had in Ohio.Let me tell you stone throwers,Jeff did not go to trail but instead plead guilty which he was guilty and saved Wendys family alot of drama.The ten commandments says.Do not Kill! Do not commit Adultery! Do not Lie! Lust,Lies.Deceit,this was Wendy's and Jeff's relationship.God is now the Judge.

[Unknown]

Yeah Jeff did Wendys family a real favor by pleading Guilty. He saved them so much grief that now They have a little girl with no mother who has to remind them and her friends everyday she is no longer with us. He was such a good guy when she tried to leave him that he would threaten to kill himself and she stuck around trying to help him. He quit his job and had not a dime to his name. And this is the thanks she got. He gave him the right to judge who should live and who should die.

[He haunts my dreams]

No one really knows just how much of a monster Jeffrey Rohleder really is... or I used to call him Uncle Jeff. Of course not my uncle my blood, but my fathers best friend since highschool. I've known Jeff since I was born; he skipped town in Louisville Ky when I was just seven. Good thing he did, he would have never survived here. Jeff has haunted my dreams for years, and yet knowing that he is jail does make life a bit easier for me, but doesnt come close to what he really deserves. For all the torture he put me through, and my brothers, my family.... I WILL never forgive him. And now as I read what he has done, it sickens me... please have that little girl checked, to see if she's ok physically, mentally, emotionally from that man. I am sooooo sorry to hear this. I wish that I was older and took action as a child to put that man away... maybe then Wendy, God rest her soul, would still be with her family. My deepest regrets, I am soooo sorry. And for the record his DEATH will be a day of rejoice for myself. And its the only distance that I would feel completely safe from him.

JEFF ROHLEDER IS A PEDOFILE, AND A FIGMENT OF THE DEVIL HIMSELF...

[KY resident]

Jeffrey Rohleder had a good reason to skip the trial & go straight to jail. He didn't want the publicity or evidence a trial would bring. Fellow inmates have special feelings about child molesters. He was twisted by the age of 16 when he went after my 6 year old daughter. I should have realised how serious it was then. He has always had a way of getting undeserved sympathy.
I am so sorry that Wendy was his victim & for the suffering her daughter & family will endure.

Obviously you did not know him as well as you think; perhaps he should have lived with YOUR family! Think about that for a minute and then decide. Obviously you did not know the social worker, Wendy and the belief she had in helping people. Who gave Jeff the right to take her life? You can't possible believe God and if you do, perhaps you need to revisit the bible and search your soul. Your comments are unjust, but God bless the USA, you have the right to state them.

You seem to know alot about this asshole...and i would love to know more...but it would have to be done on this website, for i do not share my email with people I do not know.
I do have a question, You have several post on here saying what a nightmare this guy was for you and how he is a pedofile...my question to you is why didnt YOU do something to put him behind bars before he hurt someone else???? And he didnt just hurt my friend, he murdered her!!!

[Wendys Dad]

It's almost a year and it hasn't gotten any easier. I've placed a grave marker in Berlin so that I would have a place to go. Ella is in Kindergarten and her Dad has to be at work by seven, so her grandmother takes her most days and when not available, I go over to take her. It's a blessing that we at least have Ella. But it's just not the same, I miss Wendy so much! Wendy was my only child & I was so proud of her. My relationship with her now is in my memories, I think about her every single day! I love you Wendy, Dad.

[Patsy Greensboro MD]

Today marks the one year anniversary and I miss Wendy more than ever too. I feel and understand your pain, but also thank God for Ella and the forever link to Wendy through her. The Dover races will never be the same for me & my husband and the other people that went with us. Today is a difficult day to face, but by the grace of God we will move forward with only our memories. And what great memories I hold of your beautiful, thoughtful, funny daughter! I feel for each and every one of Wendy's family members, co-workers, close friends and even acquaintances because she truly touched the lives of many.

I only knew of Wendy, Scott and Ella thru my sister, Patsy, but I felt I knew them all well because she cares for them so much. I was deeply saddened for the family and continue to be. Wendy deserved so much better, but I know God will continue to guide you all thru your pain. Thank goodness Wendy will continue to live on thru Wendy. My prayers for you all....

[unknown]

We knew Jeff briefly a few years ago and now that I hsve read these comments I understand part of the mystery of him. He was always running and very confused and dark. I am so sorry about Wendy and realize it could have easily been one of my family. How long did he live in KY?

again i am sorry for your loss, but you have no idea the torment and the therapy and the constant looking over my shoulder i have done. i was seven yrs old, you tell me what could i have done to put him behind bars, a scared little girl who thought her family would be killed... i told him one day i was going to tell my dad and he threw my 2 yr little brother down a flight of stairs and told me next time he would kill him.... so you tell me what i was supposed to do. i was a scared little girl who didnt understand what was going on. i am sooooo sorry you lost your friend... i think about that all the time, the whole what if situation... what if i could've found a way to say something... would she still be alive, would my brothers be dead.... what if i could have found a way to save everyone including myself.... but i didnt and I have to live with that my entire life, not YOU.

I wish I would have gotten on here earlier and been able to reply to you; I know the girl that wrote the comment and I talked to her about it. She misunderstood and didn't realize you were just a little girl. I am so sorry, and I know she will be too once I tell her to view what you wrote, that you've had to feel someone was coming down on your choices. There was nothing you could have done and it is completely understood that you were frightened and intimidated and not deserving of what you endured. I am grateful that you were willing to talk about it and fill us in on what you knew about the monster we all know as Jeffrey. May God bless and keep you and grant you the peace of a thousand angels.

I did mis-understand that you were just a little girl when this happened to you. I am very sorry for what i wrote and hope you can forgive me. I am also sorry this had happened to you. How scared and confused you must have been to have this happenen to you. And i now understand that you didnt have a choice to tell anyone since you were so young and scared and threatened by that asshole. I am so sorry.

[haunts my dreams - Dana]

I understand and I apologize if I came off too harsh. I do still wish there was a way I could have said something, anything... but by the time I did - my therapist said there was no of proving it or probably finding. I just wish this man would have never been born. He's hurt more people in his pathetic lifetime than should have ever been allowed. I am sorry that YOU ALL had to lose such a wonderful person - just from reading on here what people have said about Wendy; I can tell she must have been an amazing woman. I am deeply sorry, and if there is ever anything I can do, I will. My grandmother and I have wrote to the local newspaper to let them know what kind of monster he is. We also have also asked to be notified if there was ever a chance he did get parole for us to be notified so we can testify to keep in prison for life; although I believe he should be dead. I know it says life without parole, but as a law student we know that laws change all the time and sometimes it benefits people it shouldn't. Again, I am sorry, and if there is anything I can do, let me know.

[Patsy]

You've lost so much; you owe nothing. I wish you best of luck in your studies and in becoming a lawyer. May you work at changing the world one person at a time. I'm thankful for your willingness to speak out and put your feelings down in words; it gave us the opportunity to learn more about this man full of hate and now he will pay for his sins. Of that, I have no doubt.
Best of luck to you & please keep in touch at the other email address you have for me.
