(WFCN News) South Carolina —
Donna Coley, a woman from Chester County, was found dead in an abandoned house two months ago.
Ronald Coley, her business partner, destroyed it on Tuesday so he would never have to see it again.
A “long time coming,” Ronald remarked.
His Tuesday was not easy.
“This feels like the beginning of a process that could benefit me emotionally and psychologically,” he stated.
Following her disappearance in late May, fifty-six-year-old Donna Coley was discovered dead in the abandoned trailer on Cradle Street on June 11. Afterwards, Ronald and his kids started driving past it.

“I have been inside that home no less than three times,” he declared. I wish there was a way to relive the day they brought her out since I was there. Though I am unable to do so. The sight I beheld is permanent.
Thomas Glenn, 70 years old, was indicted for murder by the Chester County prosecutors. They claim that Glenn’s bond hearing has not taken place yet. Ronald was moved to tears by the deconstruction.
“Anger… Perplexed as to why. His reasoning was as follows. As for whether or not I did, I really doubt it would make a difference. My family isn’t the only ones ruined; it was pointless. Also, his is… It’s unfortunate.
They had a stepson and a daughter, who was fifteen years old, when they were married. There have been voids in their hearts ever since she departed.
Donna Coley had been reported missing a few weeks prior to her body being discovered on June 11.
She was extroverted, chatty, and charming, yet she could be a real pain at times. “But I still loved her,” he said while laughing. Because of his devotion, Coley spent thirteen days searching for her, “from daylight to dark.”
A short distance away, less than 300 yards, her automobile was found abandoned, he added. I checked at least thirty properties. That’s right. My foot sank to the floor of this trailer on the fifth day after she went missing. Why didn’t I enter? I am uncertain. Such a question has crossed my mind ad nauseam… The time it took me to locate her was less.
Although Coley realizes that his grief will never go away, he feels that destroying the house is a necessary step toward recovery.
He expressed uncertainty about his ability to sit in the same courtroom as the man without facing jail time, stating, “I don’t know if I’m saying I was looking forward to a trial.”. That is my personal opinion. In terms of fairness, though, there is none.
