Oscar Ray Bolin was convicted of the 1986 murders of three women, 25-year-old Natalie Blanche Holley, 26-year-old Teri Lynn Matthews and 17-year-old Stephanie Collins. I was not able to find a lot of information on the other women, but here is a brief outline of the Terri Lynn Matthews murder.

Teri Lynn Matthews was last seen alive on 12/05/86. She was believed to have been abducted in the vicinity of the Land O’ Lakes Post Office, where she had a post office box. Her car was found in the parking lot of the post office, with the engine running and the driver’s door open. Her mail was found scattered on the ground. Her body was found raped, stabbed and bludgeoned to death.

The investigation into Matthew’s murder uncovered no significant leads until the summer of 1990, when Danny Coby contacted Crime Stoppers in Fort Wayne, Indiana with information about the murder. Danny Coby was married to Cheryl Coby, the former wife of the defendant, Oscar Ray Bolin. Following the call made by her current husband, Cheryl Coby gave investigators a statement regarding the murder of Mathews, after which Bolin was indicted for her murder.

Bolin was also convicted and sentenced to death for a second murder in Hillsborough County on 07/31/91 (Circuit Court Case #90-11832 ). Upon Direct Appeal, his conviction and sentence were reversed, and a retrial was ordered. Bolin was again sentenced to death on 06/04/99. On appeal, his conviction and sentence were reversed for the second time. In 2005 he was convicted of Second-Degree Murder and sentenced to life imprisonment.

Bolin was convicted and sentenced to death for a third murder in Hillsborough County on 10/11/91 (Circuit Court Case #90-11833 ). Upon Direct Appeal, his conviction and sentence were reversed, and a retrial was ordered. Bolin was again sentenced to death on 06/04/99. On appeal, his conviction and sentence were reversed for the second time and the case is now pending a retrial.

Also, attached is some paperwork related to the death of Stephanie Collins, this is a copy of a Florida Supreme Court appeal, filed by Bolin, in reference her case.

Florida seems to unfortunately have gotten more of its share of strange murder cases, but this one definitely beats all.

[Dusti_]

Yeah it does seem like Florida has a lot of murders and death penalty cases...
