My cousin James' wife, Janet Holley, sent an email to get the word out about the upcoming parole hearing for the murderer of her sister, Sandy Dial. I thought I would pass it along to all of you and ask you to take a moment to do the right thing. We sang at Sandy's funeral and remember the devastating pain this senseless murder caused in Janet's family. Janet spent countless hours to bring justice for this crime and it would be a shame for it to go to waste and possibly have this type of thing happen again.
Background
In May, 1991, DeEllen Bellah, along with co-conspirator Don Dial (Sandy's ex-brother in law), fraudulently obtained a $100,000 life insurance policy on Sandy Dial's life. On Friday, December 13, 1991 their murder plan was carried out in an effort to collect the insurance proceeds. Sandy Dial, 34 years old, was found dead in the back seat of her car with a single gunshot wound to the head.
In 1998, DeEllen Bellah was sentenced by a Hunt County jury to 50 years in prison for Conspiracy to Commit Capital Murder. Sandy left behind 2 young daughters, a devastated family and host of friends. It is clear that Bellah presents a continuing danger to society. Her crime was obviously premeditated; she had plenty of time (6 months) to plan this murder. Please help us keep DeEllen Bellah, the mastermind of the murder scheme, in prison where she belongs.
Bellah is currently up for Parole review. Please write ask that she be made to serve her entire sentence. In addition, to lessen the emotional trauma the parole review process has on the victim's family, please ask for the maximum set-off for any future parole reviews.
