Jeremy Bledsoe

CARLISLE -- A Reelsville man convicted in the 2010 murder of his wife died on Jan. 13 at Wabash Valley Correctional Facility.

Jeremy R. Bledsoe, 34, had been serving a 64-year sentence with the Indiana Department of Correction for the Jan. 13, 2010 slaying of 31-year-old Kathryne Bledsoe.

Jeremy's death comes three years to the day he shot Kathryne.

A Wabash Valley spokesman told the Banner Graphic that autopsy results are pending, but that foul play was not a factor. Bledsoe's death appears to be the result of a medical issue.

After the trial date was twice moved back, Bledsoe decided to enter a guilty plea, which he did in March 2011.

At Bledsoe's May 2011 sentencing, Putnam Circuit Judge Matthew Headley gave him a 64-year sentence of a possible 65 years.

"You have scarred your children for life, and you have also made them orphans," Headley told Bledsoe.

The Bledoes had three children, two of whom were in the home at the time of the slaying.

Only God can forgive him, truckpuller. It is not up to you to judge him like that. He made a terrible mistake. We do not know why he did it. His wife may have put him thru a hell here on earth. It is too bad for his family for all of this to happen.

Only God knows why he did what he did. Judge not! I think this an abosolute tragedy for someone to go off and kill the mother of his babies. A very sad thing to have happen for all involved. He must have been crazy that must have been the reason it happened he was a nut case. My prayers go out to the Grandma and the children and lets not forget his parents.
