According to police statements after the incident, Herbert Rodgers believed that his wife, Carmen Tarleton, who he had split up with, was sleeping with another man.
He talked to God for a while, which is fine.
He asked God if he should kill the man who was sleeping with his wife, which is kind of borderline.
Mr. Rodgers gave God until his birthday to respond to his query.
You can imagine how this one played out.
The day after his birthday, Mr. Rodgers broke into his estranged wife’s house through a window with a baseball bat.
Herbert then beat the mother of his children, tied her up and dumped lye all over her body in an attack that left her with a broken arm, a broken eye socket and burns over 80 percent of her body.
Tarleton’s two teenage daughters called police, screaming on the phone that Rodgers was killing their mother.
The first officers on the scene came across Tarleton as she was crawling on the floor.
Her face was distorted from the lye and her skin was turning brown before their eyes as she begged them for an ambulance and medical care.
At last report, there were two fundraisers underway to help this woman and her daughters get through this process financially.







Hell is too good for Her Rodgers.

He split up with his wife… yet wouldn’t allow her to see other men.
He asked God whether he should kill the dude yet instead killed his ex.
I’m guessing God gave him his sign.

that’s one disfunctional sign

This is stupid. There are so many people that do stuff like this and get away with it. Sometimes these people just don’t understand that maybe they should just move on and find someone else.
A lot of people get scared because of their significant other. Most of the time their other half does something that scares them. I know I have had a partner say some crazy stuff, “I know the perfect way to dispose of a body.” They will just casually bring it up in a convo. and it kind of scares me! Wouldn’t you be scared also?
