Actress Aasha Davis, best known for her roles on popular television shows like 'Grey's Anatomy' and 'Friday Night Lights' faced her toughest role yet, when she went on television a year ago to ask the public for help in finding her missing sister, Leslie Ann Herring. Now a year has passed, and her sister's body has still not been found, but police think they've caught the woman's killer: her husband, Davis' brother-in-law, Lyle Herring, Sr., who was arrested Wednesday.
According to police reports, Herring had a heated argument with his wife on Feb. 8, 2009. Aasha reported her 46-year-old sister missing when she did not report to work after a few days.
When police investigators questioned Herring about his wife's disappearance, he was not cooperative, making him an instant suspect. Investigators described the man as being "fragmented, less than helpful and not behaving as a grieving husband."
During a press conference last year, Herring, a university recruiter, denied any involvement in his wife's disappearance. He appealed for his wife to come home. "Please give us a call," Herring said. "Let us know what's going on. We have a lot to talk to about." Police were not buying his act.
Herring will be arraigned today in Los Angeles. He faces up to 15 years in prison if convicted.

Dr. Amos Wilson, an African psychologist, had plenty to say about so-called Black-on-Black Violence. He wrote a whole book about it by that very name:
BOOK: Black-On-Black Violence: The Psychodynamics of Black Self-Annihilation in Service of White Domination Amos N. Wilson (Author)
you can hear him speak on the topic for yourself on youtube:

this is bull, they have no proof his wife is dead or anything. What is it now in this country-a wife goes missing and automatically husband is arrested and charged with murder????????????? What if she shows up 10 years after being missing, what would she be charged with, and would it equal the times her innocent husband was forcibly placed in prison by a God-less society???????? No, proof of a death should equal no charges.

It does'nt matter which race is doing the evil things done to children just remember we all have a higher Creator and they have to answer to Him about the evil corruptible things that we have done on this earth, and will be judge according to what we choose to do,so to any-one who is reading this and know in your heart that you wilfully harm some-one espically take their life i would advice you to repent of your sins because God is always watching each and everyone of us and making a record of the things we have done.

How about if we focus less on the race baiting, and more on why a guy arrested for murder is only looking at 15 years in jail, instead of joining the die-in-prison unmoving prisoner line on death row?

I always suspected he did it. I saw his initial reactions when the sister first reported her sister missing, and his actions were really weird and off beat. Just not the way a grieving husband would have reacted.

Actually, I have read about a lot of black serial killers. They are more common than you know. But, there are also a lot of white serial killers too. I have been a true crime buff for 30 years and have read thousands of books. All relating to true crime. Our races need to find a way to unite, that's all I know. I don't think it will ever happen though. Blacks and Whites continue to despise one another and just can't get along. Both sides slinging insults and accusations constantly just doesn't go anywhere.

To Actress Aasha Davis, I am so sorry about your sister. I can only imagine how much pain and hurt you are going through and I pray you aren't reading these pages. It is so painful that we have taken what started out to be about one thing and turned it in to another. When one looses a love one it is hard enough to realize that one with out love for life has taken that life, but it's even harder when it is blamed on the color of ones skin.
We all have loss someone in life and if we haven't it's only because we don't know about it or we are to young to know of it.
Death is no respect of persons and it occurs without the help of foolish hard hearted creatures that do not know that Love is unconditional a year has passed, and her sister's body has still not been found, "but police think they've caught the woman's killer: her husband, Davis' brother-in-law, Lyle Herring, Sr., who was arrested"
THINK! they found the killer. Innocent until proved guilty, what happened to it? I can only hope and pray that you can learn to trust again and that your sister will show up. Never say never. The Blacks are soon to go out of existion.
