Irma was a 22-year-old single mom beginning a career as a medical assistant. She did a lot of writing and posted much of it online prior to her murder a few days ago in West Palm Beach, FL. Police found Irma dead inside her Honda, a wig, brush, and sandal trailing up to the car.

I found a strange poem Irma posted online in late July, "My Angelic Demon." I'd love for WSers to read it and see if they think what I did -- that if Irma was describing a true situation in that poem, it could have led to her murder.

Poor, poor Irma.

Steve this one "Findal Renditions" kind of got me. I have to go look at "Angelic Demon". It's obvious the poor woman was pained about some relationship.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh boy Irma was a woman scorned and it looks like she really sought her revenge. Steve, right there it says it all. Doctor's Offices and STDS and pregnancy and passcodes. This girl really was angry. Unfortunately she PO'd alot of people I bet besides "Demonic Angel". Sad too she's a decent writer. That could be rap lyrics.
 
I definetly think that My Angelic Demon was directed specifically at someone and was about real events. It is way too personal, way too specific to just be prose about some possible situation or event. I think it is possibly some of the things she alluded to happening really didn't happen and was perhaps a representation of a fantasy. She was hurt and angry at this man and the things she says were the revenge she wanted to take on him but didn't. I think it could go either way but I feel certain it is about someone specific in her life. LE definitely needs to track down her exes, especially anyone who was recently involved with her.
 
Irma's little boy waits at the window for her to come home.

Irma's mom explains in the article how the night she was murdered the phone started ringing at 5:00PM. The phone rang and rang over and over again and Irma would pick it up and speak to someone. She'd hang up and smile.

Mrs. Simeus said it was like someone was trying to get her to come out. Finalyy about 7:00PM Irma answered and prepapred to go out. It's heart breaking because her mother didn't want her to go. She asked her to come back home and not stay out that night.

Detectives say poor Irma was killed in an extremely voilent and personal way.

What a sad, sad, heartbreaking story. To read of the grief of each family member. The part where Irma's mom had to tell Irma's little boy his mom is never coming back was hard to read.
And to think of her little boy sitting, looking out the window for her to come home is painful.

The grief and pain murder causes is so far reaching and never ends.

I hope they find whoever did this. It seems like it may be a capital case, if in fact she was lured out and the murder was planned and it sure looks like that's what happened.
 
2 men arrested after woman's body found in car trunk in 2008

Nearly eight years later a cold case ends with the arrest of two men.

Palm Beach County Sheriff deputies say Erik Jackson and Thaddeus James murdered young mother Irma Simeus in 2008. She was stabbed, her body found in the trunk of a car.

Charite Simeus says its been a tough seven years, not knowing what happened to her daughter. "Very, very hard." Now she has some closure.
 
Murder charge dropped against WPB man in 2008 stabbing death

http://www.palmbeachpost.com/news/crime--law/just-murder-charge-dropped-against-wpb-man-2008-stabbing-death/4MWV6zL0N8XweMeYzIWjyI/

The Palm Beach County State Attorney’s Office on Friday dropped the charge that has kept the West Palm Beach man (Erik Jackson) behind bars for more than a year. A spokesman for the State Attorney’s Office declined to comment on why the charge was dropped, saying only “it was the appropriate and ethical thing to do.”

But, the case isn’t over. One of Jackson’s former friends, 29-year-old Thaddeus James, is still awaiting trial in Simeus’ brutal death. His DNA matched that found on Simeus’ body, investigators said.
 
"A man who was charged in the 2008 stabbing death of Irma Simeus pleaded guilty to lesser charges Wednesday morning.

Thaddeus James, 31, was sentenced to eight years in prison after he pleaded guilty to second-degree murder before Circuit Judge Glenn Kelley. James, who was originally charged with first-degree murder, was given credit for the more than three years he’s spent in jail since his arrest in 2016.

Erik Jackson was also charged in the fatal stabbing, but the charges were dropped in 2017 by the State Attorney’s Office. The office did not comment on why the charges were dropped, but said “it was the appropriate and ethical thing to do.”"
