Michael Woodmansee: Recently News
Michael Woodmansee is about 5-year-old boy and between Father. The father of a 5-year-old boy slain by a neighbor in
1975 says he'll kill the man who was convicted if he is released 12 years early from a 40-year sentence.
Michael Woodmansee was convicted of 2nd-degree murder for killing Jason Foreman in
South Kingstown and hiding the boy's shellacked
bones in his home for years until confessing in
1983. The incident led police force to discover Jason’s bones in a dresser along with a journal which detailed the gruesome killing.
Michael Woodmansee is believed to have eaten his victim, but this was never proved in court because in
1983 he pleaded guilty to 2nd-degree murder before a jury could hear the full case.
Michael Woodmansee was jailed for 40 years as part of a plea bargain meant to spare the Foreman family from hearing the grisly information of their son's death. Now, however, the murderer faces being parole for good behavior by the end of the year - 12 years before his sentence is
due to expire, according to the Providence Journal. But, far from being spared pain, Mr. Foreman is unable to forget his son’s death and is refusing to pardon
Michael Woodmansee. Furthermore, he is willing to risk being imprisoned himself. I do intend, if this man is released anywhere in my vicinity, or if I can find him after the fact, I do intend to kill this man,’ he told WPRO-AM radio.
Michael Woodmansee, who lived up the street from the Foreman house, snatched Jason on the day the
boy's mother, Joice, celebrated her 25th birthday. As a consequence, what should be a time of happiness for the family, has become forever associated with pain and heartache. She remained broken-hearted until her death in 2000. Woodmansee later told police he had fantasised that ‘it would be easy to “kill someone” easy to get away with it, and some form of fun. For eight years, frustrated authorities conducted a nationwide manhunt for Jason, fearing he had been kidnapped.
