He has been President of the RIMS Rocky Mountain Chapter since 2023. In 2025, he was named the Volunteer of the Year. A link to his profile in the Awards Edition of RIMS Risk Management magazine is in the show notes. [4:24] Justin is stoked that Neil is joining us on RIMScast to discuss his well-deserved recognition and why he shares it with many other members of the RIMS Rocky Mountain Chapter. [4:37] We're also going to learn about his military career and how that shaped his risk career and his enthusiasm for volunteerism. [4:45] Interview! Neil Colclough, welcome to RIMScast! [5:00] Neil is incredibly proud of the RIMS 2025 Volunteer of the Year Award. [5:16] Neil continues as the President of the RIMS Rocky Mountain Chapter until September. [5:39] Neil has been in Colorado for 27 years. He left behind family, friends, and a job he loved to move to the Colorado Rocky Mountains to take advantage of the lifestyle the area offers. He wanted to be a semi-ski bum. [6:25] Neil had to learn to ski in the military. He fell in love with the sport. He landed a job on Vail Mountain. He skied over 100 days a year for several years when he lived in Vail. [6:51] Neil is from Stoke-on-Trent, England. As a kid, he wanted to be a soldier. He joined the Royal Marines for six years and travelled the world. He saw communities outside of the resort areas. [8:10] Neil believes his risk management career grew out of his service. Public service is managing risk, considering what could go wrong at all times, and having a Plan B and C for those instances. It's also not being risk-averse. [8:33] His military service left him with the mindset that you can do anything, you just have to put the effort into doing it properly and give it your best shot. They all kept themselves incredibly fit. The risk of not being fit didn't just impact you; it impacted the guys you worked with. [9:17] Neil enjoyed the fitness routine in the military, going for morning runs with his closest friends. [9:34] If Neil hadn't moved to Colorado, he probably would have stayed home. He was focused on moving to the Rocky Mountains. He had been to the U.S. about 10 times before he moved. He moved in 1998. [11:11] Neil says he is of the generation who “fell into” the risk management industry, versus going to school for a risk management degree. He was dragged reluctantly into risk management. [11:28] Neil was asked four times to fill a new role in the corporate headquarters of Vail Resorts. He didn't want to leave Vail, but he liked the person hiring him, and the offer made sense, so he joined the corporate office and did not look back. RIMS membership came with that job. [11:58] At the time, Neil had no idea what RIMS was. He joined the Rocky Mountain Chapter in early 2008. He's been a member of the chapter since then. He attended programming and social events. He progressed in the chapter. [12:14] The operational experience he had gained in the military and from running the Security Team at Vail Mountain fed into the risk management function. It gives him a bit of a leg up when it comes to solving issues. His experience adds credibility with his internal clients today. [12:40] Neil's career has been a natural progression. He loves his job. He loves the people he does it for. It's like a hobby. He's genuinely interested in it. [13:00] Neil loves being in the RIMS Rocky Mountain Chapter as a whole. He joined the board in 2018 with Incoming President Peggy Miller and Past President Emily Bloedel. The board was a great group of people. They have great, respectful discussions. There's no negativity. [13:49] As long as Neil has been a member of the chapter, that has always been the case. He says the board feels proud to be part of the chapter and to have a positive impact. [14:09] Justin mentions that Emily Bloedel was a RIMS Rising Star recently. Peggy Miller is with Kroenke Sports & Entertainment. Justin met Peggy at the RIMS ERM Conference in Denver. Neil ran the DEI education session at ERM, and he did a great job. [14:52] Neil says Emily Buckley is also on the board. They have a great pipeline of leadership to look forward to, and the future is super bright. [14:58] Justin mentions there's a lot of talent in Colorado. Emily Buckley was a guest on RIMScast last year for Specialized Bicycles on bicycle safety. Justin says, if you're a risk professional looking for a place to move, start with Colorado and look up Neil! [15:33] DE&I is a passion for Neil. He's super connected to it. Justin and Neil discuss whether it's helpful to speak the words Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion for people who may be less committed. [16:53] You might lean on Inclusion a little more to help people understand that this is about making sure that everybody has the same opportunities. [17:22] Neil is the RIMS Volunteer of the Year. The award used to be called the Heart of RIMS Award, but was rebranded to be more specific. [17:57] Neil thinks that all RIMS chapters should have the succession of vice presidents and presidents built into their bylaws as the Rocky Mountain Chapter does. A lot of presidents have sat on boards for many years, and they struggle to recruit people to become board members. [18:22] Volunteerism takes effort. If you're taking an hour out of your day to do a podcast to talk about yourself, then you've got to make up that time somewhere else. If you're doing chapter work during business hours, you have to have an employer who supports what you're doing. [18:54] You have to have family behind you, that gets it. You can't just disregard your daily job duties in favor of volunteerism. [19:09] Neil says, encourage chances to have an intentional succession plan for chapter leadership. Encourage people early in their careers to serve on boards, become leaders of the chapter, and shape the future. [19:40] If you've just graduated from an RMI program and joined the workforce, you may not think you're qualified to lead on a chapter board. Neil says, we want to hear from the future of the industry so we who are in it can prioritize what is going to be meaningful after we've gone. [20:03] Reach out to younger people, let them know what a safe space it is, and give them the opportunity to serve. [20:12] RIMS Events!

[22:23] Neil joined Sage Hospitality Group in January 2025. He had spoken with his new boss about his role at the RIMS Rocky Mountain Chapter, and she was super supportive. [22:48] The whole company understands the importance of risk management. They see the value of having me remain involved with RIMS at the chapter and society level. It was an easy conversation to have. [23:18] Neil is over a total of seven people at Sage. He says this is rare except in well-established, large companies. This is Neil's first experience with anything that comes close to that. [23:56] Two of Neil's team have been with the company for over 30 years. Another has been with the company for 11 years. That speaks volumes to Neil about the company culture and the investment the company makes in risk management. It was a huge attraction to Neil. [24:18] Neil was previously with Inspirato, another hospitality group. It was high-end luxury travel where you would subscribe to a membership and get access to a portfolio of homes. One client was mad that they didn't inform them that it was hurricane season when they were traveling. [26:06] When Neil moved to Colorado, he went to a job fair for Vail Resorts in Denver. He was offered two jobs, one as a ski instructor and one with the Security Department, a seasonal job. [26:24] When Neil showed up for work on his first day of training for the Security Team, it was October 19, 1998, the day of the terrorist arson at the Two Elk Lodge, the largest act of eco-terrorism in North America at the time. [26:42] Neil's job went from being seasonal to year-round. The department grew. He was promoted a couple of times fairly quickly. He had never ridden a snowmobile, but they put him on it, and he rode 400 miles a week on a snowmobile. [27:12] With this experience, Neil understands the principles of emergency preparedness and response. He worked closely with the public sector in Vail and Eagle County. The local government and the ski resort have to work closely together to align in the same direction. [27:31] Neil says they did some good stuff over the years to mitigate potential risks. A wildland fire was a big concern. They did mass-casualty incident drills with Vail Ski Patrol and the town of Vail. [27:59] Neil lives east of Boulder. His office is in Denver. [28:34] Neil says the award is not just one person. It takes a village. It takes a lot of people who think like you and have the same heart to make good things happen. He's never volunteered at any event where he's walked away feeling down and thinking it was a waste of time. [29:00] A little can go a long way. If you're thinking about ways to volunteer in the risk and insurance industry, the local RIMS chapter is a great vehicle to do that. You can contact Neil, and he can introduce you to some people he has networked with around the country. [29:24] Volunteerism is so rewarding. It takes effort. You can't just go to meetings. You have to put pen to paper in between meetings to take action on what you say you're going to do. Neil battles constantly with the feeling that he's not fully delivering on what he should be. [29:45] You have to give yourself a little bit of grace when it comes to those times. People's capacity ebbs and flows. Surround yourself with people who can pick up the slack when you have to step into your day job a little bit more at certain times. [30:00] When you're juggling the balls, just don't drop the glass ones! Keep your responsibilities prioritized. [30:13] Neil talks of DE&I sponsorship, advocating for somebody who's not in the group. One way to do that is to ask if you can take a young professional along with you when you're invited somewhere as a risk professional. Request that someone be at a meeting who wasn't invited. [31:02] That can create opportunities and give that person experience. It's a simple act with a potentially massive impact. [31:15] Neil, it's been a real pleasure to speak with you again! I appreciate all your insight here. Congratulations again on being named the RIMS 2025 Volunteer of the Year. We've got a link for the RIMS Rocky Mountain Chapter in the notes. Locals, if you want to join, give Neil a shout! [31:37] Neil says, I'll get back to you eventually!

Last week we talked with Peggy Miller, co-founder of the Bret Miller 1T Male Breast Cancer Happens Foundation. This week we get to hear Bret's story. Diagnosed at age 24 with breast cancer, he decided that no man should ever feel alone again when they hear the words "You have breast cancer."We talk about the lack of research and resources for men with breast cancer, pinkwashing, advocating for yourself, the importance of self breast exams, and building a community of men with breast cancer, and so much more.There's still time to register for the 12th Annual Male Breast Cancer Conference, April 25th. You can register and watch virtually from anywhere. The link is below. It's free!#TogetherWeWillChangethe WORLD#MenHaveBreastsTooResources:Bret's Website: MaleBreastCancerHappens.orgBreast Self Exams: https://breastselfexams.org/Register for the April 25th 12th Annual Male Breast Cancer Conference VirtualMBCH YouTube PageFollow:Follow me: https://www.instagram.com/melissagrosboll/My website: https://melissagrosboll.comEmail me: drmelissagrosboll@gmail.com
Today's guest is Peggy Miller. Peggy's son Bret was diagnosed 15 years ago with breast cancer. Since then, she and her family have been on a mission to bring awareness to male breast cancer.They started a non-profit called Bret Miller 1T Male Breast Cancer Happens and have been spreading the word about self exams, cutting edge research, and an annual male breast cancer conference. #TogetherWeWillChangetheWORLD and #MenHaveBreastsToo are Peggy's mottos and she lives them every day. We talk advocating for yourself and if you notice a lump or a problem, don't stop until someone takes you seriously, the importance of self breast exams, men supporting men through a breast cancer diagnosis, and so much more.Bottom line, if you have breasts, you can get breast cancer, so do your self exams.Resources:Peggy's website: https://malebreastcancerhappens.org/Breast self exam information: https://breastselfexams.org/12th Annual Male Breast Cancer Conference April 25th RegistrationMBCH Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/MaleBreastCancerHappensMBCH YouTube PageFollow:Follow me: https://www.instagram.com/melissagrosboll/My website: https://melissagrosboll.comEmail me: drmelissagrosboll@gmail.com
Podcaster Ron Rappaport (It's a Wrap with Rap) was stopped in his tracks when he received the diagnosis. Breast cancer?!! But he was a guy. How could that be? After Googling the matter, he found Male Breast Cancer Happens, founded by mom Peggy Miller with her son Bret Miller, who first found his lump at 17 and today is the youngest known male breast cancer survivor in the US. You will learn: * If a human has breasts, they can get breast cancer, regardless of gender. * Because men aren't encouraged to do self-examinations or know that they can get breast cancer, they are often diagnosed too late to have positive outcomes. * A combination of self-advocacy and group support can change the trajectory of the cancer journey.

Jennifer Lee Daugherty was born on November 8th, 1979, in Latrobe, Pennsylvania to parents Denise and Richard Daugherty. Jennifer's parents ultimately divorced, with Denise remarrying a man named Bobby Murphy of Mount Pleasant. Jennifer grew up just an hour southeast of Pittsburgh, where her father ultimately relocated. She had two sisters, Joy and Jamie, and a stepbrother named Dave. Although she never received a specific diagnosis, Jennifer had a developmental disability of some kind. She struggled with social cues and judgment and was frequently targeted by bullies as a child. This same bullying would follow her into adulthood. While at school, she was pushed around by the other girls and would have gum mashed into her hair. Jennifer would often come home from school in tears. She once told her mother that she sometimes wished she could be, what she referred to as, a normal girl. Jennifer aspired to do the kinds of things that able-bodied people usually take for granted: to live on her own, belong to a community, have a job, get married, and have children. By all accounts, Jennifer was sweet-natured and trusting; sometimes to a fault. When others were cruel, Jennifer would reason that they might be having a bad day and would try even harder to be kind to them. She would see the good in people above all else. Even though she was the target of some pretty nasty bullying, Jennifer was also quick to make friends due to her warm demeanor. According to her mother, Denise, “Jennifer was very easy-going. She liked to have fun. She was trusting. She made friends easily. She loved to dance and she loved to sing.” She enjoyed helping to care for her nieces and nephew and loved working on vehicles with her uncle. She hoped that she might be a mechanic like him one day. Jennifer's favorite foods included lasagna and cheesecake. She was a big fan of scary movies, college football, and wrestling. In 2010 at the age of 30, Jennifer was on her way to achieving some of her aspirations. She very much wanted to live her life independently. For her, this meant moving out of her mother's house. In order to facilitate this, Jennifer partook in living skills classes at a local community center called the West Place Clubhouse in Greensburg. Jennifer would often take the 20-minute bus ride from Mt. Pleasant to Greensburg, where she was training to become a mechanic, like her uncle. She would also make the trip with some regularity for dentist and counseling appointments. According to their website, Clubhouses provide comprehensive and dynamic opportunities for persons living with severe mental illness to participate in housing, employment, education, and health and wellness initiatives that renew and reconnect them with mainstream society. Members play an active role in their own recovery and that of their peers by working alongside staff to organize and run programs. Although a grown woman now, she still functioned at the emotional level of a 14-year-old girl. Her eyes still sparkled with a childlike wonder unlike those of her peers who had become hardened by the burdens of adulthood. And although Jennifer's whimsical nature made her a beloved figure in her community, it also made her vulnerable to those who would wish to take advantage of her good-natured spark. Due to this, Jennifer's mother and sister were particularly protective of her. They wanted to shield her from outside influences that would seek to do her harm, but they also recognized that she was a grown woman who deserved all that adulthood had to offer. Jennifer had recently told her family that she made a group of new friends at the West Place Clubhouse. Thrilled about the prospect of Jennifer expanding her network and building confidence, she had her family's full support. However, these were exactly the types of people that they were trying to shield her from. The group consisted of Angela Marinucci, Ricky Smyrnes, Amber Meidinger, Melvin Knight, Peggy Miller, and Robert Masters Jr. Born on January 12th, 1990, Amber Christine Meidinger met Melvin Knight at a homeless shelter in Washington state in January 2010. Melvin was born on October 27th, 1989 to a drug-addicted father who was imprisoned during the early years of his life. Melvin desperately wanted to be different from his father. Sadly, he developed lifelong learning and social problems after he fell out of a moving vehicle and hit his head at the age of 5. Amber and Melvin soon became a couple and decided to leave the state of Washington for a shot at a better life. The two moved to several different locations before settling in Greensburg, Pennsylvania. Amber and Melvin met up with Ricky on February 8, 2010. At the time, Amber was pregnant with Melvin's child, and the couple had been staying at a Greensburg-area hotel. Melvin and Ricky were already familiar with one another from a stint in jail. It should be noted that some publications claim that Amber and Ricky met in jail, but there are no sources confirming this. Even though the three didn't really know each other that well, Ricky offered Amber and Melvin a place to stay at his apartment located at 428 North Pennsylvania Avenue in Greensburg. On March 6th, 1986, Ricky Ven Edward Smyrnes was born to a drug-addicted Philadelphia sex worker and a Pittsburgh gang member. It's also been stated in other publications that Ricky was actually the sex worker and gang member, but there are no sources confirming this either. Abandoned at birth, he was moved in and out of foster homes as a child and was treated for mental health disorders as early as age 4. He suffered harm and neglect until he was taken in by the Smyrnes family in North Huntingdon at age 10. Ricky suffered sexual assault and physical harm from his adoptive father and his uncle. He had tried alcohol and an array of drugs by the age of 6. Ricky had been diagnosed with PTSD at the age of 8 and had undergone 103 therapy sessions by age 10. In addition, he was diagnosed as having as many as seven different personalities, and 15 total psychiatric issues. Ricky's criminal history started off pretty early. In 1997, at the age of 11, he burglarized his neighbor's home and stole knives, guitars, coins, bullets, and cash. That same year, he sexually assaulted a woman in her basement. Also staying at Ricky's North Pennsylvania Avenue apartment was 17-year-old Angela Lynn Marinucci. Born July 14th, 1992, Angela was Ricky's teenage girlfriend who had some challenges of her own. Angela suffered a head injury when she was hit by a truck in 2008, at the age of 15. The injury substantially altered her behavior and pushed her into a downward spiral. People who've experienced brain injury may experience changes in behavior and emotional state. These may include among others: Difficulties with self-control, risky behavior, verbal or physical outbursts, lack of empathy for others, and anger - among others. For Angela, being a teenager with a TBI proved to be an explosive combination. Angela was the first member of the group to befriend Jennifer. The two met at the West Place Clubhouse and became fast friends. Despite their difference in age and polar opposite personalities, Jennifer and Angela would talk on the phone for hours. Through Angela, she met the rest of the friend group. Jennifer increasingly spent more time in Greensburg with her new friends and felt like she had found kindred spirits. They were all struggling with their own hardships, and in Jennifer's opinion, were still able to make their way in the world. Also living in Ricky Smyrne's apartment were Peggy Darlene Miller, born February 2nd, 1983, and Robert Loren Masters Jr, born December 22nd, 1973. However, Angela began to notice that her boyfriend was taking a special interest in Jennifer, talking to her in a flirtatious manner. She also had allegedly overheard Ricky talking to Jennifer on the phone, proclaiming his love for her. Ricky would later confess that he had loved Jennifer, and she loved him too. Allegedly, Jennifer rode the bus to his apartment to meet with him in secret and carry on an intimate affair while Angela was out. However, Angela had some idea of what was going on and hatched a plan to get back at her friend. After conspiring with others in the group, she invited Jennifer to a sleepover, and Jennifer excitedly agreed. However, fun and games were not what Angela had in mind. On February 10th, 2010, Jennifer told her parents that she planned on going to her friend's apartment in Greensburg for a sleepover that day. As everyone lived with Ricky, and she wasn't about to tell her parents that she was staying at a guy's place, she claimed it was her friend Peggy's apartment. This also worked out, as she'd be traveling in that direction anyway for a scheduled appointment. Seeing this as another opportunity to assert her independence, her family was all for it. By the time Jennifer was getting ready to leave, her mother was already at work. So she left a handwritten note with Peggy's contact information in case of emergency, and a thoughtful message that read, I hope that you will have a good day at work, and I also love you very much. Her stepfather, Bobby, dropped her off at the bus stop. Jennifer kissed him on the cheek before saying her final goodbyes. The last message she posted to her MySpace and Twitter accounts was, "This is my time to make a new start for myself, and making new friends and not being afraid of anything." Upon arriving in Greensburg, she was met by Amber, Melvin, and Ricky. who took her back to their green two-story apartment building just a half mile away. There, she was greeted by the remaining members of the group, Angela, Peggy, and Robert. Almost as soon as Jennifer entered the apartment, things took a horrific turn. It should be noted that many publications have covered Jennifer's story in great detail, with slightly different accounts of what happened over the next 36 hours. With that being said, I don't know if anyone can correctly convey the level of depravity that took place next. Upon entering the apartment, the group began taunting Jennifer, which would have been terribly confusing as these were supposed to be her friends. They rummaged through her purse and took her money, gift cards, and cell phone, after which they ruined it by pouring fluids all over the remaining contents. Then things turned physical. Amber and Angela took turns beating Jennifer with a towel bar, crutches, a 2-liter bottle full of lemonade, and a vacuum cleaner hose. All the while, the helpless woman had no idea why this was happening to her. To add insult to injury, the group held her down and repeatedly stomped on her chest and stomach. They also forced Jennifer to consume an array of liquids such as vegetable oil, laundry detergent, urine, and nail polish. She was also made to eat feces, which was forced down her throat. These same substances were poured over her head, along with porridge oats and spices. She had begged her friends to stop because she was in pain and her eyes were burning, but the group refused to yield. Jennifer tried to fight back and managed to punch Amber in the stomach. Amber, as we mentioned earlier, was pregnant at the time. Her earnest attempt at defending herself against her attackers only escalated matters. Jennifer was bound with strings of Christmas lights so that she no longer could fight back. Unable to move, the group humiliated Jennifer further by shaving her head bald and painting her face with nail polish. If this wasn't already enough, Melvin decided that he needed to take things up a notch by stripping Jennifer of all of her clothing, gagging her, and sexually assaulting her while the others watched and taunted her further. After going through unimaginable suffering, she was told to take a shower because she smelled bad. When the group grew bored of tormenting Jennifer the following morning, they decided that the only option was to kill her. They couldn't let her go home and run the risk of her reporting what had transpired in Ricky's apartment. The group took a vote on the matter, and all six agreed that Jennifer had to die. As such, they forced the scared woman to write a page-long note that implied that she had decided to take her own life. The note, written in cursive, read: "I haven't been happy for a while and I also feel like that everybody would be better without me on this earth. I will always love my mom and stepdad no matter what and I will always love the rest of my family also. My nieces and nephew would be lucky to have a better aunt than me. I am done with life. Goodbye. - Jennifer" Jennifer was given sleeping pills and antibiotics, and she begged to be allowed to return home, but it was all for naught. Jennifer was stabbed in the chest and lungs by Melvin Knight. According to Melvin, “Ricky got a knife and told me to stab her…and then I stabbed her in the chest three times.” However, Jennifer managed to survive the attack. Upon noticing this, Ricky allegedly exclaimed, “Dang, this bitch is still alive.” Ricky then grabbed the knife and slit Jennifer's wrist. Still clinging to life, the men then choked Jennifer with the Christmas lights that she had been bound by. In a final act of depravity, the group decorated Jennifer's dead body to look like a Christmas Tree. Allegedly, Angela became enraged because the lights weren't flashing. As such, she decided that they needed to dump her body. Now, let that sink in for a second. What if the lights had worked? Were they going to keep Jennifer on display in their home for a time? Although that might seem macabre, after all that Jennifer endured, nothing would surprise me. After removing the lights and stuffing the note in Jennifer's back pocket, the group, who would soon become known as The Greensburg Six, stuffed her body inside of a trash can. It was left under a truck in the snow-covered parking lot of Greensburg Salem Middle School located just a block away. A truck driver noticed the trash can in the parking lot while driving and decided to investigate further. In doing so, he discovered Jennifer's body inside. Although it is a tragedy for anyone to come across such a horrific scene, the silver lining is that an adult managed to find Jennifer rather than a child on their way to school. It wasn't long before police realized who had committed such heinous acts upon Jennifer. All were arrested and quickly began to talk. Jennifer's mother had to identify her body. At the start of the trial on November 3, 2010, the prosecution sought the death penalty for Ricky, Melvin, and Amber. As Angela was 17 years old at the time, she was ineligible. At trial, forensic pathologist and former Allegheny County Coroner Cyril H. Wecht, who conducted and reviewed thousands of autopsies of homicide victims, stated, "...This is one of the most horrific cases I have seen... You have one young, defenseless woman, six people who are keeping her captive and doing all of these things, knowing she is mentally challenged. Put it all together, it is bizarre, it is extreme barbarism." On April 12th, 2012, Melvin Knight pleaded guilty to first and second-degree homicide, kidnapping, and conspiracy to commit homicide and kidnapping. It was also reported that upon hearing his confession tape being played in the courtroom, he laughed out loud. On August 30th of the same year, a jury deliberated for several hours, before voting to put Melvin to death. In September of 2014, Melvin appealed his sentence. His trial was delayed several times, and his sentence was upheld in March 2019. In November of 2020, he attempted to appeal his sentence via the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania. The appeal included statements and claims that jurors acted with passion and prejudice and arbitrarily imposed the death penalty. However, it was unanimously rejected by the judges. According to Chief Justice Debra Todd, "Following our thorough review of the record, in this case, we conclude that the appellant's sentence of death was not the product of passion, prejudice, or any other arbitrary factor, but rather was fully supported by the evidence that Knight and his co-defendants held the intellectually disabled victim against her will for several days, during which time they continuously subjected her to myriad forms of physical and emotional torture, eventually stabbing her in the chest, slicing her throat and strangling her." On February 28, 2013, Ricky Smyrnes was sentenced to death. He appealed his sentence, but in February of 2017, it was upheld. His execution was delayed in July 2017. It is unlikely that either Melvin nor Ricky will ever meet the gurney and needle. An execution has not been carried out in Pennsylvania since 1999 - and that was of serial killer Gary Heidnick. As we shared with you in our Darisabel Baez case, only 3 executions have been carried out since 1976 due to a moratorium put in place in 2015. As we also noted previously, this does not stop death sentences from being issued even today. Both men are currently being held in the State Correctional Institution - Phoenix. On December 4, 2013, Amber Christine Meidinger was sentenced to 40 to 80 years in prison after pleading guilty to third-degree homicide, kidnapping, and conspiracy. While awaiting trial, she gave birth to her baby, who was placed in foster care. She almost received the death penalty until she agreed to testify against the others. In November of 2019, Amber filed paperwork with the state's Board of Pardons, seeking early termination of her prison sentence. She is currently being held in the State Correctional Institution - Muncy. The police did not accuse Robert Masters and Peggy Miller of participating in the entire act of torture and killing of Jennifer. However, the evidence from confessional tapes suggests that they were part of the meetings in which the whole ordeal was planned. They had also voted for Jennifer to be killed. In addition, it was alleged that Robert and Peggy had been left alone with Jennifer while the other four left the apartment for a while. Robert claimed that he helped retrieve her clothes that Melvin and Ricky had stripped from her and tossed out a window on the first day of the beatings. During this time, Jennifer begged them to let her go, or to call for help. But they didn‘t, and their inaction directly led to her death. Their lawyers attempted to argue that they were scared of the others and feared that they too would be killed. The couple made tearful pleas for leniency, with Robert stating, “I was scared for my life. I should have done something, but I didn't because I was scared. Can the family forgive me?” and Peggy stating, “I am sorry and I am guilty. She was my friend, and I should not have voted for her to die.” Jennifer's family blamed Peggy heavily, claiming that Jennifer told them she was going to spend the night with her and her friends in Greensburg. Jennifer's family requested that both Peggy and Robert receive lengthy sentences. Jennifer's stepfather, Bobby Murphy made an emotional request, “The same way they chose not to show compassion to Jennifer, I ask you not to show compassion to them.” Jennifer's sister Joy Burkholder, has pointed words directed at Peggy, “You had my sister as a friend. She loved Miller and valued her. You didn't value her, you probably value a hairbrush more than you value her.” Robert Loren Masters Jr, the eldest of the group, pleaded guilty to third-degree homicide, conspiracy to commit homicide, and conspiracy to commit kidnapping on December 19, 2013. He was sentenced to 30 to 70 years in prison. His attorney, William Gallishen, helped him reach a plea bargain against the other five. After he agreed, Robert was moved to another jail for protection. He did not publicly share any information related to the plea bargain. He is currently being held in the State Correctional Institution - Greene. Peggy Darlene Miller was sentenced to 35 to 74 years in prison. She is currently being held in the State Correctional Institution - Muncy. Several neighbors and fellow inmates testified against Angela, claiming that she had planned to kill Jennifer several days before her body was discovered. Neighbor Anthony Zappone heard Angela say, "I'm going to kill that bitch.” Tina Warrick testified that Angela told her that she was disappointed with the type of Christmas decorations that Peggy had purchased to tie Jennifer up with. Floria Headen heard body slamming and screaming. Felisha Hardison, who was a cellmate and friend to Angela, testified that she was jumping on her bed, excited to be on the news. On August 3rd, 2011, Angela Marinucci, the youngest of the group, was formally given a mandatory life sentence without the possibility of parole after being found guilty in May of first-degree homicide. She later had her life without the possibility of parole sentence revoked. However, on July 1st, 2015, a jury decided to re-sentence her to her previous sentence. Finally, in May of 2022, Angela was resentenced to 60 years to life in prison with parole eligibility in 2070. She is currently being held in the State Correctional Institution - Cambridge Springs. Jennifer's sister, Joy Burkholder said after the sentencing, “My biggest regret was forcing Jennifer to act as an adult, I would go back and do many things differently.” She also noted that “Jennifer was exploited, and her kindness and her handicap made her very vulnerable.” Outside of court, Bobby, Jennifer's stepfather, said: “Closure is Jennifer coming back to us, and Jennifer won't come back, so there is no closure…” According to Jennifer's parents, whatever happened to her could not be justified in any way, she did not have a single mean bone in her body. Jennifer's memorial services were held at Kepple-Graft Funeral Home located at 524 N. Main Street in Greensburg. Sadly, the funeral home was located just around the block from where Jennifer met her fate. Jennifer's family requested no flowers. Instead, memorial contributions could be made to one's favorite charity. On April 23, 2012, at a conference, Pennsylvania State Senator Kim Ward proposed legislation named Jennifer's Law. The legislation would require the reporting of violent crimes to law enforcement officials immediately. Failure to report the crime would be a misdemeanor of the third degree. The individual would not be required to immediately report it if it would place the person in immediate physical harm. Jennifer's family was on hand as the legislation was announced. Her sister Joy shared this emotional statement, “Over the course of 30-plus hours, six people had the opportunity to help my sister and nobody did. Legally they didn't have to. It seems wrong to me that you can be a spectator during a murder and not be responsible to intervene in any way. I know my sister is not coming back and we accept this. However, this law could and will save lives.” According to Senator Ward, “It is heartbreaking to think of what Jennifer went through, and the fact that one phone call to police might have put an end to these cruel crimes. Sometimes society has to compel people to do the right thing. This legislation is aimed at preventing further tragedies.” She went on to state, “Since 1973, 11 states have enacted statutes requiring some form of aid or assistance when witnessing a violent crime. By making Pennsylvania the 12th state, we can make a statement in Jennifer's memory. We can say, ‘The world may be cold, but we do not live in a heartless society. We do not look on while evil is perpetrated. We are better than that.” Support Our Patreon For More Unreleased Content: https://www.patreon.com/themiserymachine PayPal: https://www.paypal.me/themiserymachine Join Our Facebook Group to Request a Topic: https://t.co/DeSZIIMgXs?amp=1 Instagram: miserymachinepodcast Twitter: misery_podcast Discord: https://discord.gg/kCCzjZM #themiserymachine #podcast #truecrime Source Material: https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/traumatic-brain-injury/symptoms-causes/syc-20378557 https://disabilitymemorial.tumblr.com/post/131876335512/jennifer-daugherty https://www.kepplegraft.com/obituary/Jennifer-Daugherty https://www.facebook.com/groups/349449062753 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_Jennifer_Daugherty https://medium.com/lessons-from-history/the-chilling-story-of-a-mentally-disabled-woman-who-was-murdered-by-her-friends-caef336cac5f https://morbidology.com/jennifer-daugherty-the-greensburg-six/ https://www.buggedspace.com/jennifer-daugherty-killed-by-friends/ https://archive.triblive.com/local/westmoreland/roommate-gives-jurors-gruesome-details-of-2010-torture-murder-in-greensburg/ https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/48112799/jennifer-lee-daugherty https://www.wtae.com/article/death-penalty-trial-continues-in-greensburg-6-case/7459767 https://www.wtae.com/article/greensburg-6-co-defendant-testifies-in-death-penalty-case-tells-jurors-victim-just-wanted-love-1/7459816 https://triblive.com/local/westmoreland/greensburg-woman-resentenced-for-2010-torture-killing-of-mentally-disabled-victim/ https://www.wtae.com/article/greensburg-6-case-ends-as-final-suspects-plead-guilty-in-woman-s-death/7464268 https://www.cbsnews.com/pittsburgh/news/angela-marinucci-resentenced-for-her-role-in-jennifer-daughertys-death-in-2010/ http://inmatelocator.cor.pa.gov/#/ https://www.senatorward.com/2010/06/21/ward-unveils-jennifers-law-in-wake-of-westmoreland-county-murder/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3hqWI-upZDk&ab_channel=thisisMONSTERS https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cHyx__RpQ28&t=28s&ab_channel=Disturban https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AY6GspYoTfo&ab_channel=TheLittleShopofCrime https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vrq-GqOQ9m0&ab_channel=WTAE-TVPittsburgh https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2pznigZG-GU&ab_channel=WTAE-TVPittsburgh https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wIQtvkQbr_o&ab_channel=WTAE-TVPittsburgh https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yg3sVikDSGU&ab_channel=WTAE-TVPittsburgh https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7gLndtKzyQ0&ab_channel=WTAE-TVPittsburgh https://www.ojp.gov/ncjrs/virtual-library/abstracts/coed-prisons-survey-finds-35-prisons-house-both-men-and-women https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1484578384 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Od8k9dpFuDE&ab_channel=WTAE-TVPittsburgh
