Victim’s mom: ‘Never believed in death penalty before this’

LAWRENCE, Mich. (WOOD) — Sometimes it’s easy for Terri Colgren to talk about her daughter, Jessica True-Wallace.

“I got some of her clothes in plastic bags, because I don’t want them to stop smelling like her,” Colgren said.

Other times, words don’t come easily.

“I still can’t go through photo albums,” she said, speaking through tears. “I can’t look over at her picture. She’s just gone.”

True-Wallace, 31, was murdered in her Decatur home in November 2017. Police say the killers then set the house on fire.

“The soot,” Colgren told 24 Hour News 8 Friday in her first interview since her daughter was murdered. “I remember the soot.”
