I knew he was capable of hurting someone or killing, but I never thought he would turn on us. All I know is I felt uneasy with him. I really feared him at times. I guess my guard went to red alert when you told me what he said about loving you so much that he would kill for you. Do you remember that?
Is that what happened to Cindy?
To get leverage over Mick? Blackmail? Forcing him to participate?
So Mick's talking about he didn't know how to tell you he was afraid of Tim. Do you think that this is the truth?
So he goes on, when he threatened to kill you and the kids, I knew he was for real. So were you aware of those threats?
I want to hop back to this letter for a minute. We left off, he threatened to kill you and the kids. I knew he was for real. I did whatever it took to keep us alive. Carrie, please understand that I was forced to shoot at the girl. I know she was already dead. I really don't think I hit the girl anyway, but I had to. Sure, I could have pulled the gun on Tim, but I was too scared to.
I don't think killing Tim would have helped Cindy anyway. She was already dead. Do you think that's the truth?
You really do?
So I took a shot at her while she was on the floor. I'm positive I missed though. Just as long as Tim saw I shot at Cindy, I figured he would chill. He did, too. He said he had to make sure I would not say anything. He brought up the fact that I had a prior murder charge on my record and said if he went, I was going right behind him.
I may not look too good for shooting at the girl, but Tim made it clear as to what would have happened if I did not cooperate with him. I never in my life felt so helpless and defeated and scared. My uncle never even made me feel that way. Tim sure did though. Because he threatened to harm you and the kids. It's why I was so scared. I think that this... I think this is the truth.
So if Tim was sitting where I'm sitting right now, what would you say to him?
I mean... I understand why you feel that way, but it's not your fault.
Do you know what Altia had something to do with though? Putting this man behind bars.
I think I inherited that fear from you.
Tim's next parole board hearing is in November of 2025. I doubt he'll be released, but I plan on doing everything in my power to make sure he stays behind bars for the rest of his life.
Mick is still incarcerated for his role in the death of Cindy Kozad. At his last parole board hearing in 2019, the board noted that, quote, McWhorter has been assessed as having an elevated risk for reoffending. The case, aggravated by case-specific factors of violence, brutality, and victimization, McWhorter lacks the family and community support, along with a viable and supportive release plan.
The aggravating factors in this case lead the board to conclude that release would not further the interest of justice. The board does not consider the inmate suitable for release at this time. His max out date is coming up soon, though. He'll be released from prison in 2026 after serving 31 years behind bars.
That could be pretty soon.
You know, I think about it and it's like, there's not just us. I mean, there's Cindy's family. There's everybody that Tim impacted when he still lived in Guernsey County. Any other victims.
There are kids, his stepkids with Pam. Cindy lost her life. So there's just a big impact from one person. It's kind of a lot to wrap your head around.
