Jessica Lunsford’s Killer, John Evander Couey, Dies in Prison … Good Riddance … Predator Off to Hell

Good riddance to bad rubbish!

51 year old John Evander Couey, the man who kidnapped, raped and murdered Jessica Lunsford is dead. Couey was pronounced dead at 11:15 a.m. Wednesday at Jacksonville Memorial Hospital. It couldn’t have happened to a more appropriate predator.

Couey, you are looking in the wrong direction … you will be residing in Hell

John Evander Couey, 51, had been ill for some time and died in a Jacksonville hospital where he had been since Aug. 12, said Department of Corrections spokeswoman Gretl Plessinger.

John Evander Couey may have cheated the state executioner; however, as Jessica’s grandmother, Ruth Lunsford said … “God took control of it. He took him out of this world.” We can only say good riddance and have a nice time in the 7th level of hell Couey. For what this sexual predator did to Jessica Lunsford and never showed remorse, have a great time with eternal damnation in hell. And Couey thought what he did was heinous. There is one saving grace in the fact that Couey is dead and that is the Lunsford family never has to deal with ridiculous appeals from Couey.

Although no details were released from the hospital due to privacy reasons, it has been reported that Couey had been diagnoses with cancer and had been in serious condition.

Comments from Ruth Lunsford, 77, Jessica’s paternal grandmother:

“Thank you, Lord,” “I wanted to live long enough to see him die,” she said at her West Snowbird Court home in this quiet Homosassa subdivision. “It’s done, it’s finished. I’m glad we didn’t have to wait too long for him to get the needle.”

Our prayers go out to Mark Lunsford and his family as this must be a bitter sweet day.
