MARIA LOUISE BODILY ANDERSON
Age 27
October 8, 1994
Evanston, Wyoming
Louise was brutally beaten to death by her boyfriend’s brother, Dennis Marshall, age 26, who was living with Louise, her boyfriend, and her two children.
Marshall beat Louise, a nurse’s aide, in a hotel room with his hands, feet, and a chair. Maria died of multiple blunt force blows to her entire body, with the fatal blow breaking her neck. The autopsy report found evidence of former beatings. Maria Louise, whom the family calls Louise, was five weeks pregnant at the time of her death.
Louise was adopted into the Bodily family when she was four days old. As a toddler she had thick long blonde hair. She was very active and a daredevil. When she was four she could shinny up the biggest maple tree and ride a two-wheel bicycle. One of Louise’s loves was to go fishing with her dad, she would say to her dad, “Daddy, you can catch the most but I’m going to catch the biggest”, and she almost always did. At six years old she could put together adult jigsaw puzzles with uncanny ease. As she grew older and graduated from high school, she moved to Evanston and while there her father died of a heart attack. Louise was very close to her father and she was devastated. She left her first marriage when she met Alfred James Marshall. She had two children with him and lived with Alfred for eight years before Dennis moved in with them. Dennis Marshall pled guilty to second-degree murder.
Louise’s mother, Dorotha Jeanne Bodily writes: “Louise...you were selected, not expected, and I thank God every day that I was picked to be your mother. I love you with all my heart.”
Dennis Marshall was sentenced on June 29, 1995 to 25-35 years for second-degree murder. He was released on parole June 20, 2012 and will be discharged around 2019.
