That is really awful. Why would they print that? God that makes me so mad. I know, lets insult and put down someone who has been MURDERED with hearsay :furious:
Unbelievable that the reporter would even think of QUOTING the words that woman spoke!!!

I did too.. I also sent an email to the editor and put in a rant in the contact us section. I have never seen such lack of compassion. She was murdered! At least think of the family.. let Sunday have respect and dignity in death.
UNREAL.

That is a beautiful picture Lavonda.
Are you related or friend of the family? Sorry if you mentioned prior.
No, I am not related. It is my organization that has worked with the family in trying to find Sunday. They are an extremely close and one of the most compassionate and loving family that I've had the honors to work with. They did anything and everything possible and always with keeping Sunday and Isabella at the forefront of all that they did. I'm truly saddened.

I pray for Izzy to have an amazing support system in place as this is really going to be hard for her.
Rest in Peace Sunday.....I am so very sorry for this to have happened to you.
What a shame, a waste, a nightmare...
Isabella has the most strong support with the family than any child can hope to have. Thank goodness that is not a worry. She has many aunts and uncles there for her and cousins. Also, she has her grandparents...Sunday's mom and dad.

First of all, she did not "disappear for days." She would travel the 2 hour drive back and forth between Tallahassee FL and back to GA while preparing for her move. Because Isabella was in school she wasn't able to make the overnight trips while her mom made the trips for job interviews,etc. As for the sores and incoherent...that has never been reported by anyone else..ever. Sunday was always devoted to her daughter. Just very very sad. And yes..shame on the reporter for writing hearsay...especially knowing her daughter will have access to read all someday.

I do agree.....I mean we all have an idea she was a druggo...there is no doubt about that....but that description really does paint an awful picture of her and really put her down doesnt it......
I wonder how recent all of the photos are that have been posted......because in all of the photos I have seen I have got to say that she is a very naturally beautiful girl....who doesnt seem to wear much makeup and still had beautiful skin and hair.....she looked very healthy....
I am wondering why she went to live with the mother in law in the first place....and her new husband........was she desperate for somewhere to live or something????
he commented that Ruby wanted her dead.....if this is the case it must have been very uncomfortable for her living there.......you can bet that is why she was leaving......
there will be more to this for sure and I bet MIL was not going to allow the little girl to go with her and there would have been the "unfit mother" threats etc......
Anyhow beside the point.....Rest In Peace Sunday........such a beautiful girl and so sad your life has ended..

(I hope we're talking about the same H. )
H is RE's husband. I'm not sure on H's last name. Appareantly they're not getting along too well, and RE has recently had some psychological issues, for which she seeked help. RE & H were the folks who allegedly "opened up" their Briarwood Ln home to Sunday and Izzy.
H was allegedly a POI in the beginning of the case, based on statements made by TC in Tally. IMO, I don't think he had any involvement.
I'm eating my words now... I feel I learned a few things from this though...
Here comes the proverbial "Looking back now, I can see where it makes sense. "
I'm sorry I never got to meet you, Sunday. I met a lot of your family and I saw how much they cared about you, and loved you. May your memory bring a smile to those who loved you, for many years to come.

He is saying he will help while all along he knew where she was... also where he says "I hope she's just on a binge" ... it sounds like a little jab to me, making her sound like a junkie. Knowing what happened, it just disgusts me that he wrote this.

Three Arrested in Sunday Blomberg Murder..
ALBANY, GA (WALB) – Authorities believe they found the body of Sunday Blomberg, a Tift County mother, who disappeared April 22nd.
The body was found near Warrior Creek on Vickers Bridge Road in Colquitt County. Blomberg's body was near a sandy path leading down to Warrior Creek.
GBI agents arrested the suspected killer, someone Blomberg knew well.
Police arrested Herman Evans and charged him with murder. He is married to Blombergh's ex mother-in-Law. Her former mother-in-law, Ruby Evans is also in jail, and the GBI says a friend of Herman Evans has also been arrested.
The victim was staying with Evans and his wife when she disappeared.
Neighbors on Vickers Bridge Road tried to come to grips Thursday afternoon with the news that a body was found near their homes.
"Very quiet small town atmosphere," said one neighbor. "Today there were GBI and sheriff officials out here which is highly unusual."
The home Evans lived in is in Tift County, and may have been the crime scene. Investigators searched it thoroughly and took pieces evidence. Neighbors say they saw the suspect burning household items before his arrest.
"We thought the trailer was on fire, there were sitting right there watching the couch burn," said Anne McEntyre, Neighbor.
Inside, investigators searched for traces of blood and other evidence.
"He showed me the rooms and told me not to go into the rooms because there were needles in all the rooms," said McEntyre.
So far investigators are not releasing a motive as to why Evans would have killed Blomberg, he may not be the only suspect; GBI agents say more arrests are likely.

05-28-2010, 12:23 PM
What took LE so long to examine the house she had been living in for months & where she was supposedly last seen?
Was her sister coming to the house to pick her up that day? If so, she had to notice something was wrong inside..If not, then what about her daughter when she came home from school?
What a MORON to get rid of evidence (burning couch) in front of neighbors..Did he want to get caught?
Why would Sunday leave her daughter in that house (without her) until school got out? It sounds like there was serious trouble/problems going on there..Wasn't she afraid she'd never get her back? Didn't she realize there was something seriously wrong with one or both of them? Did she have any concerns at all? If not, maybe the above is all rumor.
Some posters think someone didn't want her to leave OR didn't want her to go back to FL..Herman said he "loved" Sunday..I believe that & in more then just an in-law kinda way..He may have been obsessed with this beautiful woman..It wouldn't surprise me at all.

I read LE said that about Theo but does that make sense to you? And what about what Herman said on (?) about come & beat me up or something like that? It may be possible he got his butt kicked by Theo AND Sunday put up a fight..I can't imagine she didn't..I know I don't believe for one second it was caused by the couch.
Amysmom; Theo did not beat up HE, it was a domestic situation with his ex-girlfriend and her new boyfriend in Florida.

It's all speculation really.. but as much as Herman was running his mouth and for the time that Theo has been in jail I don't think this is the case. Herman would have had a lot to say on his FB page if he had been beat up by some kind of posse.

Georgia officials say three people have been arrested in connection with the murder of 28-year-old Sunday Blombergh.
Blombergh's mother in law Ruby Evans and her stepfather in law Roy Evans are charged with her murder.
The third person arrested was Kennith Thomlison, a family friend. He was charged with concealing the body. Investigators say he led them to her body in the wooded area.
We will bring you more information as soon as it becomes available.

Georgia officials say three people have been arrested in connection with the murder of 28-year-old Sunday Blombergh.
Blombergh's mother in law, 45-year-old Ruby Evans and her stepfather in law, 44-year-old Roy Evans are charged with her murder.
The third person arrested was 48-year-old Kennith Thomlinson, a family friend. Thomlinson was charged with concealing the body. Investigators say he led them to her body in the wooded area.
Police have other suspects and people of interest who they believe could have been involved. They anticipate adding additional charges to more people.
The three people arrested are in the Tift County Jail being held without bond.
They will have their first appearance in court Friday at 2pm
Blombergh's sister Sunshine showed up with her husband and they were tearful throughout the press conference this morning.
A family spokesperson said that the whole family thinks its very unfortunate and tragic.
WCTV tried to get a quote from her sister Sunshine, but she refused to comments.

Yes, I had seen the video. The speculation I was talking about was if Herman had been beat up by a group of guys that suspected him being the murderer. He made a statement that he had gotten threats about that.. but we don't know if that ever happened or not. I don't think it did. I think his injuries are related to the struggle Sunday put up and not removing the couch from the house.
Theo's being in jail is related to an unrelated domestic situation between his new girlfriend and the guy she cheated on him with. That all went down in FL.

Investigators said they believe Blombergh was killed because Evans and Herman didn't want her to take her 7-year-old daughter to Tallahassee. Blombergh went missing April 22, the same day she was planning to move back to Tallahassee, where she grew up. She had been living in Tifton since late October, family members have said.

I think that is the 'bucket' the charges fell under. It also listed 'kidnapping' and no one was kidnapped. I'm really not sure how all that works when they list charges.
Believe me, I had him nailed as very involved at first too. The timing of the arrest was very curious. Many news articles as well as a family member have confirmed that it is 'unrelated' to the death of Sunday. I don't want to debate it and find them all but I think if you are interested you can find many that say he was ruled out as a poi and that it is indeed unrelated.
At this point, I'm more concerned with finding a feed of the press release that was supposed to happen.

Whatever these charges are really about they're very serious & he will most likely spend time in prison IF found guilty..Both of his parents will most likely get LWOP with so much evidence & a snitch..I feel for the rest of the family who have to be wondering right now how & why their whole world has been turned upside down like this.

I want to know if Sunday had been raped as well. Herman really creeps me out with the way he talked about 'females spreading legs' etc so bluntly on his FB page. IF that i the case, I REALLY hope he didn't touch that little girl too.. if that didn't play into why he didn't want her leaving. I know it's a wild side thing with nothing associated to it but my worry... but I worry.
I feel so bad for Izzie in all of this. She is in the best hands she can be at this point with Sunday's family, for that I am thankful. Imagine had Theo not have snapped and she was sent to be with him. Would be another tragedy waiting to happen.
No new info on the press release?

This is so sad! I am wondering if Sunday felt at all threatened living there? Did she ever mention being scared of these people? I wonder if the ex husband will be the 4th arrested.
Here is what I am confused by and hopefully someone else here was able to read HE's facebook page before it was shut down; Before he starting posting the stuff about the GBI investigating him, he made statements about Ruby moving in with her boyfriend and that they were divorcing. He also said that he had emails which would prove Ruby wanted Sunday dead. I saved some of those posts, I guess I need to go back and look at the date, but I think they were fairly recent; within two weeks IIRC.

Knox, I read his FB posts last night, the "death" post was made on May 18 and I only went back 1 more page so everything has been in the last few weeks. This has really turned into a puzzling case. I wonder if the other guy arrested was her new boyfriend?:waitasec:

Kidnapping can be charged in some cases if a person wanted to leave and was prevented from leaving...not sure how it applies here...
This is the 3rd case I can remember where in-laws killed a daughter-in-law to try to keep her from moving with child...and there are probably more.
this one is very scary, something kind of Deliverance about the suspects in the photos...JMO

The posts about Ruby and the separation were on May 22nd. He also wrote that same day; how do you feel when a woman you loved tells you she thinks and laughs about how bad she manipulated you while she has sex with her bf. dam I am an idiot.
Trying to figure out if this was a ruse the two of them hatched or if he and Ruby were really on the outs as he says. This would be a little over a month after Sunday had been murdered. Was the comment about having proof via Ruby's emails (wanting Sunday dead), a veiled threat to her?

This reminds me so much of the Karen Slover murder in the midwest a decade or more ago...a divorced mom, having to use the in-laws as babysitters...she gets offered a modeling contract out of state, makes plans to move and then vanishes...
Turns out old mother-in-law wanted baby for herself, so she, her husband and the ex-husband,(her son) shot Karen and her body parts washed up in a lake. Later, LE was able to find the zipper or a button from her pants on their property as well as doggie DNA from their dogs on Karen and all three were convicted. Sickening.

Mother-in-law, two others charged in Blombergh death (http://tiftongazette.com/local/x1174313739/Mother-in-law-two-others-charged-in-Blombergh-death)
TIFTON — Three people, including the victim's mother-in-law, have been arrested in connection with the death of Sunday Blombergh, 28, who disappeared April 22, authorities said Friday.
More arrests and charges are expected, authorities said.
Roy Herman Evans, 44, and Ruby Anne Evans, 45, both of 49 Briarwood Lane in southern Tift County near Lenox, are each charged with murder. Kenneth Randall Tomlinson, 48, of 311 Virginia Ave., Apt. 422, in Tifton, is charged with concealing Blombergh’s death.
The Evanses are husband and wife, and Ruby Evans is the mother of Sunday Blombergh’s estranged husband, who is the father of Blombergh’s seven-year-old daughter.
Tomlinson is a friend of Herman Evans, according to authorities. All three are being held in the Tift County Jail without bond and were expected to make their first court appearance Friday afternoon.
District Attorney Paul Bowden said there could be additional charges made against the Evans couple and Tomlinson, and also there could be additional arrests when his office has “the opportunity to review the file.”
“We met at length and talked about different individuals involved in the investigation and death,” Bowden said. “At least one more will be arrested.”
During a press conference Friday at the Tift County Sheriff’s Office, GBI agent Mark Pro said one of the trio arrested had cooperated with authorities and led them to Blombergh’s body. A person involved in the investigation confirmed that Tomlinson was the cooperative suspect. When asked if anyone had confessed to killing Blombergh, Bowden responded, “We’re not at liberty to comment on specifics of what the evidence will show.”
Blombergh’s badly decomposed body was found Thursday afternoon in a wooded area in Colquitt County near the Tift County line, authorities said. The body was found in deep woods accessed from near the bridge at the dead end of Vickers Bridge Road, said Colquitt County Coroner Verlyn Brock. The location was between Ellenton and Lenox.
Brock said he was called out to that area at about 1:15 p.m. Thursday. The condition of the body prevented him from determining the person’s sex or age, he said. The body was turned over to the Tift County Coroner’s Office.
“It is our expectation that evidence will show that Sunday and her child lived with Ruby and, basically, Ruby wanted the child,” said Tift County Sheriff Gary Vowell. “Sunday was preparing to move to Tallahassee to go to work and had decided to leave the child with Ruby so she could finish the school year.”
Vowell said that he and others involved in the investigation didn’t believe Blombergh had been held against her will for any period of time before she was killed. He said he couldn’t exactly say the date of her death and that her body had been sent to a GBI crime lab for an autopsy that, it is hoped, will determine the time and manner of her death.
Authorities on Thursday searched the house at 49 Briarwood Lane that Blombergh and her daughter had shared with the Evans couple; the house had been searched previously. Pro, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation’s assistant special agent in charge of the case, said authorities returned to gather more evidence Thursday after interviews with suspects.
[....snipped / removed unnecessary heresay]
Late Thursday afternoon, David Haire, public information officer for the sheriff’s office, told the Gazette that the family had been notified that Blombergh’s body had been found, but he refused further comment and would not say where or when the body was discovered, or if foul play was suspected, or if anyone had been arrested.
However, Colquitt County Sheriff Al Whittington later confirmed that a man had been charged in connection with the case.
The GBI’s “Mark Pro will clear up any questions and illustrate why information wasn’t disseminated sooner,” Sheriff Vowell said during the press conference Friday.
“We were in the process of recovering Sunday’s body and interviewing and obtaining warrants,” Vowell said. “In no way was there any conspiracy or mystery pertaining to this case. We just wanted to get it right the first time. I hope you understand, especially my local media folks.”
Blombergh was the subject of an extended search after she disappeared. Her sisters told The Tifton Gazette that Blombergh had past drug problems but was believed to have been clean for some time and doing well.
Reportedly, Blombergh was packing in preparation for one of her sisters to transport her to Tallahassee, Fla., where she was starting a new job, on the day she disappeared.
Jennifer Caswell, a family friend who served as captain of “Team Sunday,” said during the press conference that it was important to note that Sunday was “a beautiful person with a beautiful smile.”
“She was a loving mother and the family is absolutely torn apart with this loss,” Caswell said. “There has been an outpouring of love and prayers.”
Caswell praised the GBI, the Tift Sheriff’s Office, Tallahassee Police, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, and agents with the Department of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms and with the Drug Enforcement Agency for their work in the case.
“They’ve been wonderful,” Caswell said. “We will continue to pray and do what it takes to get justice from whomever was involved and get through this. It’s inconceivable that there’s such a disrespect for human life. It’s horrible and it’s a nightmare. Sunday’s family would never knowingly put Sunday in danger. We want the people to know who did the crime.”
Pro said that evidence indicates that drug use was a factor by some of those involved in the case, but he didn’t elaborate. He said Blombergh’s daughter was removed from the Briarwood Lane home as soon as her mother was reported missing. He wouldn’t say who had the child but indicated the young girl was safe.
Caswell said that Blombergh’s family “had no reason to believe that she was still on drugs. She was doing very well,” Caswell said. “Everybody has their problems, but Sunday was doing great.”
Although the outcome was not what had been hoped, Pro said it was a blessing for the family that the mystery of Blombergh’s disappearance had been solved so quickly.
“It’s closure for the family,” Pro said. “Tara Grinstead’s family is still living their nightmare.”
Grinstead, an Irwin County High School teacher, disappeared from Ocilla without a trace on Oct. 22, 2005.

According to google maps, all that time Sunday was less than a 30 minute drive from the house on Briarwood Lane - barely 20 miles.

Maybe Sunday told Ruby she changed her mind and wanted to take her back to Florida that day. At any rate, it would have only been a month before school was out. Izzy would not have been with Ruby for long.

One question:
According to media reports, Sunday had planned to leave Izzy there while she went to florida. Is that correct? Why would they kill her over Izzy if she was leaving Izzy there anyway?? ETA: sorry, Bmore...didn't see your post. Thanks for asking..you aren't the only one who's confused!!
Another question, did Sunshine actually drive to Tifton that day?
Supposedly Sunday called Ruby who was at work and asked her to bring her a pack of cigarettes that day. Ruby said she came home and Sunday was not there. Did she call Sunshine and inform her Sunday was gone? When exactly was Sunday reported missing?

Also on Sunshines myspace one of her blogs is about how her stepmother use to drop her and her siblings off at the park and leave them for hours.....
I dont think they had a happy upbringing.......also Sunday had been in jail......so I think her short life was not happy for alot of the time.......

If this is not allowed here mods please delete but since the subject of Sunday's upbringing was brought to the table I feel that this article hints that thru her own upbringing Sunday knew what was right and that she likely knew she had a means of getting where she needed to be and yes I agree she was working her way into a groove perhaps even from a rut. Maybe the reality of leaving Izzy there hit her that day and yes maybe she had said, you know what I've had a change of heart and Izzy will be leaving with me.

Ruby's issue with age is slightly ironic since she labelled herself Grandma on both MS & FB.

Snipped from the news link;
Blombergh's step father-in-law, Herman Evans, and her mother in law, Ruby Evans, made their first appearances in court this afternoon on murder charges. The GBI says the Evans' killed their daughter in law to prevent her from moving away with their seven year old granddaughter.
"It is our expectation that the evidence will show later in the case that Sunday and the child lived with Ruby and basically Ruby wanted the child, just plain and simple," said Tift County Sheriff Gary Vowell.
http://www.walb.com/global/story.asp?s=12563085
I wonder if the evidence referred to is going to be those emails HE talked about on Facebook. He said something to the effect that he had proof in emails that Ruby wanted Sunday dead.
That last post HE made on FB the day he was arrested said; the GBI was at his house at 4:00am to get his computer and look in his semi. Later a reporter said "the GBI went down the road to his Mother's house and seized his computer".

So if Sunday was not taking Isabella to Tallahassee that day, why did they kill her on that day?
It's my guess...and only a guess...but because it was "that day" some argument may have transpired in which Sunday reiterated the fact that the only reason she was leaving Isabella behind is due to school and they can surely bet she will be back to get her once school is out. Not too mention it is only an hour and a half away to Tallahassee so she may have even told them she would be back that weekend or the next to bring her home to Tallahassee and back in time for school. Perhaps that put "them" over the edge. I personally believe this was premeditated and it will be interesting to see what Ruby and Herman are going to be up against. I hope it will be life in prison without any chance of parole or the DP. What is really sad is while they are sitting in prison and getting their meals, shelter, etc....the family is trying to come to grips with this horrible situation and have to figure out how they will afford to bury Sunday, where they will bury her and yet...those that murdered her do not have to pay a single penny towards what they created. They'll even be given an attorney at no charge. The family is aware of the future in knowing that they will be driving back and forth to trials, etc. Please pray for them. This is very difficult.

No, that was the Tallahassee news crew. They were one of the most professional and compassionate news teams. They always called and asked permission if they could interview the family...unlike some of the other reporters who were very disrespectful and would approach Sunday's sister and ask horrible questions about the condition of her body found. Just so sad that any person would do that...for a job or no job...it was not right. I commend highly the team at WCTV in Tallahassee.

There are a lot of underlying messages in that comment by the GBI that cannot be divulged. Just let it be known that it will come out at trial and when you learn of it...it will make you cry...for Sunday...and for Izzy. I can also tell you this, Sunday was no longer doing any drugs. She had her life going in good places and did it for her daughter. She was promised a "safe place" to stay with her by the MIL when she left Theo. Hence she moved in with the MIL. (Theo stayed in Florida) Little did she know it was the worst unknowing choice she could have made. (obviously) As for the landlady...what else would be expected from a friend of Ruby's? Not to mention, she contradicted her own story in the media by stating that Sunday was incoherent and had sores in one breath and the next how she rarely if ever went to the house. Sunday worked at the Lil' Pantry...none of her coworkers saw her with sores. She maintained a job. Its very sad when the media has portrayed the victim as if "asking for it". Very sad.

Here are some stats, however, a bit dated. It states a child usually 100 yards from their home...teens, etc...5 miles. However, I can tell you from any of the conferences I've attended it's now an average of 3 miles for children and 30 for adults. (deceased)

The majority of all missing loved ones who are recovered deceased are usually within a 30 mile radius from where they went missing. Also, and this is really sad and scary...children are usually recovered within 3 miles!!!
Thanks for the info Lavanda.....after further reading it seems she was found even closer to the house than I had earlier estimated!
My heart breaks at the mere thought of it all.

They say Sunday was a "great mom" & that's obvious in this pix..I'm glad her Dad is in jail & will probably never get custody whenever he does get out..From all that I've seen & read about him he isn't fit to raise his daughter..If he ever gets visitation rights some day I hope they're supervised cos, imo, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

That's not Izzy, but you are right amysmom, Sunday loved her daughter. As for Theo, you never know, he may get his life back on track and be involved in her life in a very positive way. Many overcome drug additions and lead good lives, let's hope that happens for Izzy's sake.
Does anyone know if Ruby was married or had a connection to a Brian Smart?

No, that was the Tallahassee news crew. They were one of the most professional and compassionate news teams. They always called and asked permission if they could interview the family...unlike some of the other reporters who were very disrespectful and would approach Sunday's sister and ask horrible questions about the condition of her body found. Just so sad that any person would do that...for a job or no job...it was not right. I commend highly the team at WCTV in Tallahassee.
I knew people who worked there back in the day. They've always been a classy, compassionate operation.

Can you tell me how long Isabella had been living with Ruby? I thought Theo had brought her back from TX before last Oct. I am just wondering about Ruby's state of mind here (not that it excuses her).
Isabella never stayed at Ruby's without her mother. Yes, at one time Sunday and Isabella and Theo lived in TX. It was one of those on again off again relationships between Theo and Sunday. Keep in mind the TX stay was due to Sunday's parents live there. Also, anytime Sunday may have gone back and forth between Tallahassee and GA for job interviews and to help find where she and Izzy would live is the only time that Izzy was left with Ruby and that was due to school. Which is contrary ...again...to the landlady saying she would just disappear again. Apparently Ruby had motives for a long time and started out with not telling factual information from the get go. As for the boyfriend in Tx that the media is reporting is also not confirmed as a "boyfriend." Sunday had many many friends, male and female. She was a well loved person and everyone who knew her has made the remarks on her bubbly and outgoing personality and her love of laughter....and there has never been a negative response from anyone (Except Ruby and her clan) on her love and care for her daughter...it was due to that love that Sunday knew party days and fun were over and time to straighten up..which she did. Her last words posted as to her heroes is as follows:

Thank you Lavanda. I wasn't questioning Sunday's love for her daughter...I was just trying get my mind around Ruby's thinking...which is pretty much impossible anyway...and I was wondering why Sunday chose to go stay with Ruby when she has family in Tallahassee.

Her family would have gladly taken her in...as they have in the past (Texas and FL) but keep in mind that it was Sunday who chose to be as far away as she could from Theo, but within driving distance to her Florida family. (She didn't want to go back to TX) So when Ruby offered...she took her up on it. She was only with Ruby 7 months until her death. Very sad.

My organization worked with Sunday's family in helping to find her during the time she was missing. I have to tell you that I've worked with many families and Sunday's was one of the most loving, kind, genuinely wanting to do anything and everything possible to find their daughter and sister. It's been devastating for all since her earthly remains were located.

There were a lot who helped on "Sunday's Team", sister in laws, friends from the past, new friends, etc. The team did awesome in taking time out of their days...every day doing everything from getting the posters out to organizing and holding candlelight services. You can see some of the pics on her website www.findsunday.com
We all knew deep in our hearts that something happened to Sunday and just knew it was going to be foul play...but we all held the hopes that maybe, just maybe because she was such a beautiful exotic looking young woman that maybe some psycho had her captive in his basement...sad to think that is what we hoped for but at least there was hope with that as an outcome. What did happen was something that quite honestly wasn't as shocking for all of us...considering the information we learned (that will come out at trial)...however, the confirmation and the phone call from the GBI to confirm her earthly body was located really was and is devastating for the family. Keep them in your prayers. Also for Izzy.....especially for Izzy. A child who loses their mom at such a young age is just terrible.

Blombergh’s estranged husband in custody on unrelated charges (http://tiftongazette.com/local/x2023225089/Blombergh-s-estranged-husband-in-custody-on-unrelated-charges)
TIFTON — In unrelated charges, the estranged husband of Sunday Blombergh, whose body was found Thursday, is currently in jail in Tallahassee, Fla.
Theo Conoly, 30, of Tallahassee, is charged by Tallahassee Police with aggravated domestic violence with a deadly weapon, kidnapping and obstruction of justice, police say.
He is being held in the Leon County Jail and his total bond has been set at $36,000. According to Officer Derrick Friend of the Tallahassee Police Department, charges against Conoly are in no way related to the Sunday Blombergh case.
“It is a separate domestic violence case with a woman here and an incident involving the two of them,” Friend said on Friday.
Friend said the incident occurred on May 16.
Conoly's mother, Ruby Evans, is charged with murder in the death of his estranged wife, Sunday Blombergh.

Wondered that myself ... Working there and then met Mr. Charming? The photo of Theo in front of the florist van is dated 01/02/2008, so we know she worked there for at least the last two years.
Just a note about the date on that picture you are referring to...
It's true - the date of 01/02/2008 is on that specific picture but that's the same date on all the other date stamped pictures >> all of which are in photo album titled March 26 - which is the anniversary date of Ruby's deceased son...
Just saying - I learned a long time ago, never trust the date stamp on digital photos tho the year 2008 may very well be correct.
Aside from someone with firsthand knowledge stopping by to share info (tho it does happen so we can always hope), I'm not sure how we might know for certain >> how long Ruby worked at the florist?? >> which might help us to know which came first the chicken or the egg (the relationship with Herman or the job at the flower shop owned by his mama???) >> which IIRC was the direction of your original question.
Wait a sec, we do have the phone number to the flower shop....I imagine their phone is ringing off the hook these days with calls from the media.

Blombergh lived in Tifton, Georgia with her seven year old daughter and in-laws.
Before her death, we are told, Blombergh was set to move back to Tallahassee and was taking her daughter with her.
Authorities believe having their granddaughter stripped away may have been too much for the Evans' to handle. Authorities say, that may have been why they killed her.
Tift County Sheriff Gary Vowell says, "Basically Ruby wanted the child, plan and simple"
How Blombergh died has not been determined, but investigators are pursuing the theory that she may have been shot on a couch in the living room.
Neighbors showed us the back of the house where they say they saw Roy Evans burning a couch, days after the investigation heated up.
Roy Herman Evans, 44, 29 Briarwood Lane, was charged Thursday with felony murder.
Ruby Anne Evans, 45, 4195 Bemiss Road, Lot F-35, was charged Thursday with felony murder.

I wondered if she had moved, b/c of his comments about her new b/f and that he had some kind of 'proof' in the form of emails that she wanted Sunday dead. I thought why would two people who live with each other be emailing each other ...

Has anyone figured out yet who this other character, Tomlinson IIRC is? Is he a friend of Herman's or Ruby's or both? I haven't found anything on him yet.
I am a little confused. At the time of Sunday's murder WHO was living at the home on Briarwood? It does not make sense that Herman and Ruby committed a murder together if they hated each other and had split up.
I wonder if Ruby used and manipulated Herman into murdering Sunday, then split to go live with the boyfriend?

"...thursday when she went missing, I didn't know nothing about it... Me and my wife were, we were having problems. We haven't been getting along for a while. Friday night she called me and asked me did I think she should report it..." (FWIW)
Did anyone notice that HE and RE were both charged with "Felony Murder" ?
This is a very distinct and unique criminal charge. This means that Sunday's death occured during the commision of a felony.. Any ideas?
I know the punishment for felony murder is "Life w/o parole" or "Death penalty"

What do you think?
All I know for sure - it's not making very good sense.
All I can say is this. You can figure it out from here. This is the law in all states:
Anyone who commits a murder gets charged with murder.
Anyone who conspires to murder someone and asks someone else to do the murder also gets charged with murder. (sometimes the person who conspires gets charges with the actual murder while the person who did the deed pleads down to a lesser charge in order to testify against the conspirer)
Anyone who knows about a crime of murder and does not step forth gets arrested.
Anyone who assists in getting rid of a body, gets arrested.
Anyone who has knowledge of a crime and the authorities say "more arrests to come" means just that...with the exception that it could take time to make that arrest if the person:
A. is already arrested on other charges in another state, or has not yet been located.

A mother's worst nightmare is to know their child becomes involved with unsavory characters and who have influence over their children in a negative way. Which is the reason that Sunday's family always stepped forth to try and talk her into getting away from Theo. I think his record speaks for itself in that he had quite the history prior to Sunday meeting him. If anything, I hope other vibrant young women watch this case very closely because as
I've raised my own children, I as a mother, have always tried to convey "you are who you associate with." When my children come back to me with "why do you say that?" I tell them that while you may not be doing drugs, or you may not be involved in misdeeds...if you associate with those that do...one or two things WILL happen. Others will view you as the same...even if you're not...or you will end up doing things that you may not ever predict you would do that could be illegal...or harmful.
I know that over the years Sunday's family tried to convey this to her as well. Like many adult children, they may continue to go on their way because they feel they are "helping the person who is doing the misdeeds, due to their own low self esteem"..or they may be simply rebellious to their parents and siblings in showing them "I know how to live my life and don't need to be told."

Anyone who commits a murder gets charged with murder.
There are varying degrees of murder. HE and RE have been charged with "Felony Murder" which is a relatively new charge. This particular offense is weighted more than murder in the first degree. There are only 2 penalties for anyone convicted of felony murder - Life w/o parole, and death.
This tells me that (somehow) the murder occured during the commision of a felony?!
Lavanda Dolce
06-01-2010, 01:05 PM
Either way the tragedy in all of this is not only the death of a beautiful young mother...but the last few years that Sunday's family tried to help her...and FINALLY, as a mother herself....Sunday proceeded to walk away from T.E and the whole lifestyle of partying, etc., over the past few years... Only to have gone back and forth in being with T.E....perhaps out of guilt for her child "needing her dad", or perhaps in thinking he would change.
Regardless, we all know Sunday made mistakes but what we do know is her life was snuffed out BECAUSE she was a good parent and off the drugs and I personally believe (my opinion) that some people didn't like the fact that she was no longer vulnerable and was afraid now that Sunday was clean she would come forth and go against those who were doing wrong things because she didn't want her own daughter to associate with those who were doing such things and THAT is the reason they turned against her.
I believe R.E. (my opinion) told Sunday, under a false pretense, "sure come live with H.E. and I, we'll help you stay from T.E." ...the motive all along was to have Izzy close...with the hopes of keeping Sunday "under wraps"..the fact that Sunday was moving back to Florida with HER family was enough to cause distress to those who feared what she would tell or do now that she was clean. (my opinion) Certainly knew she would keep Izzy away once she was out of school and permanently in Florida.
Doesn't matter if it was 1 1/2 hours away. Sunday was a different person now. She was on the solid straight path. They know that "Who in their right mind would want their daughter to go through what they went through?" and that Sunday would probably begin to keep Izzy away from all those that were bad influences. Maybe Sunday (my opinion) knew that Izzy obviously would be ok as Gramma R.E. would not harm her...but knew she herself was at risk and had to "get out" and had no choice but to "keep friends" with R.E until she knew she was settled and could wait out the last month of school for Izzy to join her. Perhaps R.E. realized what was going on and knew once mother and daughter together that all previous "rights granted" were no longer going to be the same. Perhaps R.E. knew that her only way to see Izzy would be in her having to go to Tally to see her under the protection of her mother and R.E. didn't like those terms.
That was probably the threat for RE. (again, my opinion) I believe this will even come down to premeditation. So maybe the motive was not only in keeping Izzy, but also in keeping Sunday from having to "tell all that she knew" which she certainly would have done (any mother would have) had a child custody battle or visitation rights occurred via grandparent (R.E) and bio mother (Sunday). Let's not forget that R.E. also lost another grandchild from T.E's previous girlfriend, due to suffocation at 9 days old. No way, I believe, that R.E. was going to lose another one if it took all she could do to stop it.
Perhaps R.E. should have started focusing on her own son, T.E instead, and worried more about him getting his act together and she wouldn't have had to fear her grandchildren being taken away. Just my thoughts...but instead she has publicly lashed out at the mothers' of the children her son has born on public websites going back to the deceased newborn. I do believe we may see the death penalty here. (Again, my opinion)

There are varying degrees of murder. HE and RE have been charged with "Felony Murder" which is a relatively new charge. This particular offense is weighted more than murder in the first degree. There are only 2 penalties for anyone convicted of felony murder - Life w/o parole, and death.
This tells me that (somehow) the murder occured during the commision of a felony?!
Or in premeditation. Planned. That would fall under felony murder because "malice murder" is the same as 2nd degree. So many variations would constitute Felony Murder.
A recent example taken from a website is: (look what crime he committed)
State v. C.H., Superior Court of Carroll County
http://westgeorgiacriminaldefense.com/index.php?page=recent-cases
Our client was indicted for aggravated assault, malice murder, and felony murder following the shooting of a man who lived in his neighborhood. The key witness for the prosecution testified that the gentleman we represented walked across the street, pulled out a revolver, and shot the other man without provocation.

where did that quote come from the one from herman
I changed my mind - I will share it with all....
Saturday, 5-15-10 was the poster distribution event. I arrived way too early (Like 10AM when the event started at 11AM) We had stacks of Sunday's missing person flyer on the car, so it was obvious what we were there for.
HE showed up and proclaimed his innocence to us.
That is where the quote came from. That quote was verbatim.
That is where I fall short with my "sleuthing". When it comes to FACTS, such as dates and times, evidence, cell phone pings, distance and time calculations - I am great at drawing conclusions and eliminating possibilities. When it comes to the human element, I suck. I tend to look for the good in people. My father has always described me as having a "soft heart".

So, basically, in GA, 1st degree murder = felony murder.
Here in SC it is a little different. (As I ranted in my previous posts)

No additional charges filed yet in Sunday Blombergh case
Steven Stubbs/Reporter CNHI
TIFTON — Authorities said Tuesday that no additional charges have been filed against three people arrested Thursday in connection with the death of Sunday Blombergh, whose body was found last week in Colquitt County.
Ruby Evans, Blombergh’s mother-in-law, and Evans’ husband, Herman Evans, are charged with felony murder in the case. Kenneth Randall Tomlinson, a friend of Herman Evans, is charged with concealing Blombergh’s death.
Georgia law stipulates that a felony murder charge is appropriate when a homicide occurs during the commission, or attempted commission, of a felony.

The felony murder thing, since in GA it means that another felony was being commited when the murder took place, makes me wonder what could have been going on before Sunday was (allegedly) shot. Just speculation, but it seems like HE was the one who struggled most with Sunday, seeing the shiner he had on his eye, etc. Maybe he was trying to rape Sunday or some case like that and Ruby came in and that's when they killed her. Unfortunately, these two are the only ones left to tell the story and God knows if they're telling the truth or not. These thoughts have been waking me up at night.

The felony murder thing, since in GA it means that another felony was being commited when the murder took place
That is what I thought too! I spent a long time researching it, and I have read the law, and i am still unsure.
Here it is, straight from the law books (Thank you Lexis Nexis)
§ 16-5-1. Murder; felony murder
(a) A person commits the offense of murder when he unlawfully and with malice aforethought, either express or implied, causes the death of another human being.
(b) Express malice is that deliberate intention unlawfully to take the life of another human being which is manifested by external circumstances capable of proof. Malice shall be implied where no considerable provocation appears and where all the circumstances of the killing show an abandoned and malignant heart.
(c) A person also commits the offense of murder when, in the commission of a felony, he causes the death of another human being irrespective of malice.
(d) A person convicted of the offense of murder shall be punished by death, by imprisonment for life without parole, or by imprisonment for life.
http://www.lexis-nexis.com/hottopics/gacode/default.asp
My question is - Does felony murder require the criteria expressed in A, B, C, AND D? Or, could it just be A ?
If, in fact, it does turn out to be "..Murder when, in the commision of a felony..." What was the felony?
Here is case law that may help:
1) Although felony murder does not require malice or intent to kill, it does, however, require that the defendant possess the requisite criminal intent to commit the underlying felony. Flanders v. State, 279 Ga. 35 (2005). Felony means any felony that is dangerous per se, or which by the attendant circumstances, creates a foreseeable risk of death. Ford v. State, 262 Ga. 602 (1992). The elements of the felony are not to be considered in the abstract, but instead the circumstances under which the felony was committed. Turner v. State, 281 Ga. 487 (2007). Legal cause will not be present where there intervenes (1) a coincidence that is not reasonably foreseeable or (2) an abnormal response. Skaggs v. State, 278 Ga. 19 (2004).
2)When convicted of felony murder and also separately convicted of the felony that served as the underlying felony for the felony murder conviction, the conviction for the underlying felony merges into the felony murder conviction. Green v. State, 283 Ga. 126 (2008). Felony murder is inapplicable to homicide of one of the parties to the underlying felony by the intended victim of that felony. However, a defendant may be convicted of felony murder where the victim was acting in concert with a co-defendant in committing a crime when his death occurred. Vasser v. State, 273 Ga. 747 (2001); Scott v. State, 252 Ga. 251 (1984).

Sunday was clean, she was no longer doing drugs according to many sources.
We heard the neighbor say there were needles all over the house, SC says HE was smoking crack next door. Thinking this may involve drugs? Could a felony fit with that? Maybe manufacturing and sales and Sunday threatened to blow the whistle?

Thanks bmore. I was actually looking for Theo's case, he's been in jail since May 17th. The bail is actually fairly low, 36k. Per a fee schedule, it looks like it would be roughly 3k to bond. If he himself did not have the money, IMO it's low enough someone should be able to help him out.
I'm not familiar with bonding, but if the amounts are listed, he is eligible right?
I am looking at the Leon County Jail Inmate site.

Given what we now know, though I do NOT care if Sunday was smoking crack or meth or whatever (I know meth is becoming a real problem in places where it used to be crack) in relation to her death, I do wonder... just how much of a victim Izzy was as well. I wonder about a lot of it- how would Sunday leave her daughter there with that creep.. who smokes crack if Ruby was not even living there, it does not make sense...did she need to leave because she was in it, or scared of what was going down? Either way, what did poor Izzy witness in her time there and why did Sunday continue to stay..I mean, a crazy abusive crack head man is not a "wait till you have enough money and then leave" situation. It's a GET THE F%^& OUT! situation...surely she had somewhere else to go right? And did she not tell anyone what was going on?
It's all...pointless feeling now but I just wish I could wrap my head around what scenario could lead up to something this tragic and horrific, I do not understand...anything in this world sometimes.
I am just so sorry for her, her last moments on this earth.. and what Izzy will have to heal :(

Don't quote me on this, but I believe that BOTH Ruby and HE were living there with Sunday at the time she went MISSING... so she wouldn't have been leaving Izzy with just HE. It was at the time that she was found deceased that Ruby no longer lived with HE.

I do not know if she did/did not, you are right.
Let me rephrase (I was thinking while typing)
I wonder if there was crack/meth use in that home on anyone's part
and/or how long that was going on, who knew about it, and if it was going on why she was still there, or if that was why she was leaving. Did she express a real need to get out of there because of the obvious danger around her and her little girl to anyone?

I do not believe anyone is trying to smear, except maybe OH (duh).
I do think that in the wide view, which is what you have to take to look at these things from all sides, you have to step back and let things call attention to themselves. Her surroundings have to do with the circumstances of her death, not to entertain the people who care enough about victims to gather here and sleuth. You also have to look at the personal without attaching your emotions to it all. The most of us here would not be here if we had no emotions either. It is rude to try and be heard by silencing others.
In the end the truth conquers all, we hope. And until then it helps to be nice. I do not think there is a "digging up dirt" here...just folks who want to look at it from all sides. NO ONE who is contributing for Sunday and not themselves on here thinks she deserved this, no matter what she was doing. Let's keep this going civil and helpful to each other, for HER.
