Nearly seven years after 18-year-old Anjelica “A.J.” Hadsell was found dead behind an abandoned Southampton County home, her stepfather Wesley Hadsell was convicted of her murder.
Much of the testimony of witnesses called on by the defense focused on the comings and goings of Hadsell on the day his daughter, Anjelica “A.J.” Hadsell, disappeared.
Prosecutors dropped a non-capital felony murder charge against Hadsell, but he still faces a first-degree murder charge as well as concealing a dead body in the 2015 death of his adopted daughter Anjelica "A.J." Hadsell.
SIR – Boris Johnson said in the House of Commons on Monday that he “gets it” (report, February 1).
Wesley Hadsell's ex-wife, Jennifer Wright, told jurors in his murder trial Friday that she asked him to move out a few weeks before her daughter A. J. disappeared because he was using drugs and acting strangely. His behavior grew more bizarre after A.J. disappeared in March 2015, she said.
