Father charged with killing convict who molested his relative gives stunning jailhouse confession
SHARE

Nicholas Stanley, a 35-year-old father from Indiana, made headlines recently after confessing to the murder of Allen Cogswell, a man convicted of molesting one of Stanley’s family members. In a shocking jailhouse interview with ABC57 News, Stanley expressed no remorse for his actions, stating, “I did what I had to.”

The incident occurred on the morning of June 24 at a Daylite Inn in Indiana, where Stanley confronted Cogswell and fatally shot him in the head and chest. Stanley admitted to being obsessed with Cogswell for years and felt compelled to take matters into his own hands when the convicted sex offender was released from prison in May.

During the interview, conducted via remote video visitation at the Elkhart County Jail where Stanley is being held without bond, reporter Annie Kate warned him that everything he said would be recorded and on the record. Despite this, Stanley openly confessed to the murder, stating, “I took him out.”

Stanley explained that he had lost his job and was consumed by thoughts of Cogswell after his release, leading him to track down and fatally shoot him. He expressed frustration with the justice system, noting that Cogswell had served only seven years for his crime, while Stanley faced a minimum of 45 years in prison for his revenge killing.

In a message to his family, Stanley expressed regret for missing out on his children’s lives but encouraged them to live their lives to the fullest. He acknowledged the consequences of his actions but remained steadfast in his belief that he was justified in seeking justice for his family.

The case has sparked debate about vigilante justice and the lengths individuals will go to protect their loved ones. Stanley’s unwavering stance and lack of remorse have raised questions about the limits of personal responsibility and the justice system’s ability to address issues of abuse and retribution.

As the legal proceedings unfold, Stanley’s confession and the circumstances surrounding Cogswell’s murder serve as a stark reminder of the complexities of justice, morality, and the human capacity for both love and violence. The story of Nicholas Stanley and Allen Cogswell is a tragic tale of vengeance, loss, and the fine line between right and wrong.
