Wife killer denied parole for the third time
The Ohio Parole Board denied parole for convicted murderer Theodore Sinks, a former Dayton Daily News maintenance supervisor.
Sinks’ next chance at parole - his fourth - won’t be until Sept. 1, 2015.
Sinks, now 71, killed his wife, Judy, at home and buried her body at the newspaper’s downtown building in 1987.
Judy Sinks’ family as well as Cox Media Group, which owns the Dayton Daily News, opposed parole for Sinks.
Sinks reported his wife missing on Nov. 23, 1987. He was arrested April 26, 1988, after Dayton police, based on evidence from a newspaper maintenance worker, found the body. She had been a clerical worker in the newspaper’s circulation department.
Sinks had placed her body in a plastic barrel and had a subordinate, who did not know the contents, help him move it up elevators and stairs to the top of the building at Fourth and Ludlow streets. There, prosecutors said, Sinks placed the body in a small pit near a cooling tower, and poured cement over it.

I’m surprised he didn’t bury her in the editorial department of the DNN. God knows everyone there is dead from the neck up.
