Justice for Mom from Navarre Florida, Cassie Carli

08/14/2025

I’ve stepped away from this page for awhile. The trial being pushed back in April was just a rough pill to swallow. I had prepared and was beyond ready to get this over with.
He’s not going to get the death penalty because we didn’t get a murder charge. We didn’t get a murder charge because the autopsy came back undetermined from a coroners office is Alabama, where she was MURDERED and the alleged MURDER had lots of connections. There should have been a private autopsy done. 😒 It’s been three and a half years. He should already be sentenced to life without parole. This is NOT a who dunnit. He has till October to present his case for no chance of the death penalty. It looks like next year before we’ll get a trial and some closure. 😔

These narcisstic woman murderers should get a fast pass to Ole Sparky. I woke up feeling some type of way. Seeing his face for the first time in awhile has me triggered. Evil, soulless monster.

This deadline will put us at 1,258 days we’ve waited for justice for Cassie. We won’t stop watching and waiting until you are convicted to life without parole or death. You can do everything in your power to fight this but you will answer for murdering the mother of your child. You are a monster and you are going to pay. I don’t expect a confession or any atonement for your evil acts. Just your life. Or at the very least your freedom. You have lost. You are not in control. I really hope someone, somehow is sending you all the love for Cassie and hate for you. I hope you lay awake at night and realize your life is over as you know it. Those four walls are your permanent reality.

It's extremely painful and enraging to read how someone else's Italy vacation has anything to do with this monster being convicted for his crimes. To read about taxpayers having to pay for someone to travel to Brazil in order to defend him is insane. Is this real life?!?!?! Three years later?!?! Praying they don’t grant this. He has a history of manipulating the courts for his benefit. How long is this going to go on???? 💔💔💔

I woke up yesterday morning feeling awful. No matter how much work I do, I think the trauma from this week will always come back to haunt me. I can’t even look at my memories from this week.
I’ll never forget waking up and sitting in bed with my coffee and having Stacy’s video come across my feed that Cassie’s was missing. Deep down inside, it was like my soul started preparing me for one of the worst things I’ve ever experienced. I knew something was wrong.
For the next seven days I went to that beach to “look” for Cassie from sun up to sun down. I can still feel the cold sharp concrete as I sat, in the exact spot he took her life, on Navarre beach that first day. I made hundreds of calls, to anyone I thought might help us find Cassie and her baby. It felt like someone had lit a fire in part of my chest. And it still aches, 3 years later, on the hard days.
I’ve gone to the beach a lot the last few days. Tried to let my self feel it but to then let it go. I hate that this monster is still hurting me so deeply and stealing my time. On the anniversary of Cassie’s murder I went to the beach and it was the most beautiful day with this magical glowing light around the sun. I see your light still shining my friend.

Three years without you. I hate today. I hate this whole week. Hell week. Losing someone you love, to a violent crime, and spending a week looking for them and their innocent baby, has got to be one of the worst experiences a human can have.
I was always holding my breath that he was somehow going to take that baby from Cassie. He had not given her back in the past. He took her across state lines for weeks. He wanted to show his dominance, that he was in control. He could do whatever he wanted and nobody was going to help her. I don’t think Cassie would have survived if he had taken her baby from her. So maybe this was the trade. Her baby will live a happy life but it cost hers. Well it damn well better cost his evil life too.

My mind runs with the what if’s. Did the babysitter know what he was doing that night while she sat with Cassie’s baby? Did the woman he tried to give Cassie’s baby to know that he had murdered her mother. Does his mother realize what an evil person she created?!?! Did the pastor know he employed a ln evil person and he was going to bury Cassie on his property in a shallow grave. I can’t wait to hear their thoughts on what he did to my friend.
I wonder if three years sitting in jail has settled in his mind that you’re never leaving. Your life is over as you know it. I hope it ticks by the second. I hope your mind runs, you’re dirty, hungry, and afraid someone is going to hurt you. I hope you’re walking around having to hold onto someone’s pulled out pocket. The only way you’re leaving custody is in a pine box.
Bet.

The anniversary of losing Cassie is this week and my heart and mind are trying to reconcile the amount of pain and time and they just don’t add up. It’ll be three years Friday and you’d think it’d hurt, even a little less, but it doesn’t. Now we get to anticipate that week we were on the beach searching for her with our amazing community. Until you’ve been through something like this it’s impossible to truly understand the pain that settles in your soul as a result of all that truama. Waking up to Stacy M Cole video and the chaos that ensued. Finding her car on the beach and running to it praying she wasn’t inside it hurt or worse. It was a 20 yard dash from the crime scene tape but it felt like a 100 miles. Sitting through the initial interview with major crimes and walking out of her home to see a red cardinal staring right at me. She was there. My mind wouldn’t accept that yet but my heart was starting to break it to my mind that she was no longer here. I sat in the spot that monster backed his truck and trailer into when he planned to take her from us. I made 100 of calls sitting on that cold, sharp concrete to anyone I thought could help us. Missing people, missing children, lawyers, and search and rescue organizations. So many horrible memories and feelings seared into my soul, I think forever. 💔
