One woman named Michelle Lee Marr is in trouble with the law! She used makeup to hide the bruises she gave her boyfriend after beating him to death. I mean, seriously? Who does that? That’s cruel!
It’s hard to believe that someone could be so twisted, but unfortunately, it happens. Domestic violence is a serious issue, and it’s important to remember that anyone can be a victim, regardless of their gender. It’s not just women who can be abused by their partners.
And now, Michelle Lee Marr has been found guilty of second-degree murder and is facing life imprisonment for killing her boyfriend and covering up the bruises with makeup to hide them.
She had called 911 at the time claiming to have woken up and found Gilpin unconscious in bed at their home on the Winnebago Indian Reservation, according to court documents.
Gilpin, a dad, was rushed by medivac to Twelve Clans United Hospital in Sioux City, Iowa — where nurses noticed he had “significant amounts of makeup” on his face and body, federal prosecutors said.
Once the makeup was washed away, it revealed numerous injuries — including “a golf-ball sized or bigger knot or bruise on the left side of his head” as well as “bruises on the right side of his head,” prosecutors said.
“The makeup was described as having been applied thickly and appeared fresh and not slept in,” prosecutors claimed in court documents obtained by the Daily Mail.
“A nurse at Mercy Medical Center said it took her a while to scrub the makeup off Gilpin’s face and she noted it was a match for Gilpin’s skin tone,” they added.
Gilpin died the next day from brain trauma and swelling, with an autopsy rling the death a homicide.
Marr told investigators that she passed out around 5 p.m. the night before and when she woke up she found Gilpin, described as her live-in boyfriend, unconscious on their bed.
Prosecutors discovered evidence on her phone and social media account that proved that she lied when she claimed to have passed out and found her boyfriend unconscious in bed.
Marr’s children and other relatives told police that she had a history of physical violence towards Gilpin.
And let’s all hope that justice is served in Michelle Lee Marr’s case. There’s no excuse for violence, and nobody should get away with taking another person’s life.
