Florida Man Confesses to Killing Fiancee and Driving Her Body to a Walmart Parking Lot

AFlorida man confessed Tuesday afternoon to killing his 67-year-old fiancee at their home and driving her body to a local Walmart parking lot.

Sebastian Police responded to a Walmart parking lot Tuesday at 7:46 a.m. after reports of a possibly deceased woman in a vehicle. According to a statement from Police Chief Daniel Acosta, when officers arrived at the scene they discovered a woman dead inside a black Chevrolet pickup truck.

The victim was identified as 67-year-old Jeanine Bishop from Sebastian, Florida. According to Acosta, Bishop's fiancee Michael Despres, 56, was at the Walmart when detectives questioned him.

Several studies show that many women are murdered by intimate partners including boyfriends, fiancees and husbands. According to the Violence Policy Center, about two in five female victims are murdered by an intimate partner. Intimate partner homicide is defined by the National Institute of Justice as "the killing of a spouse, ex-spouse, boyfriend, or girlfriend."

A study published in the NIJ Journal said, "the risk of intimate partner homicide is highest when a victim of domestic abuse tries to leave the relationship." It is still unclear what led to the homicide.

I wonder if there are some missing steps in whatever his plan was.

In terms of human depravity, imo, that’s about equivalent to watching cnn for a week.

Because if you want to hide a murder, a Wal-mart parking lot is the place to do it.

Its clearly a genius "hide in plain sight" strategy. Where's the first place cops will look for a corpse - a remote forest or distant mountain range, of course!

None of your business. Stop sticking your nose where it don’t belong.

Walmart pays better than Target for those. How do you think they can sell that mystery meat for such a low price...

No, but Despres certainly was headed in that direction.
