Deborah Gibson; Suicide By Stupid
March 28, 2008 by Morbid
Monroe, NC - After taking a short break, I am back and with a story from my neck of the woods. It involves a suicide pact made between three women, Linda Maples, 27, Jennifer Ashleigh McCord, 23, and her mother, Deborah McCord Gibson, 45. For an unknown reason at this time, they decided to kill each other at the home they lived in. The plan seemed to be that they were to use a gun to kill themselves, but found that they could not turn the gun on themselves. To solve this, they decided to just simply shoot each other. One of the women is now dead, and the other two are in jail.
Maples and McCord are charged with first-degree murder and felony conspiracy to commit murder. Police have released who shot who in a scene that could eventually be used in a Cohen Brothers movie.
- Gibson shot her daughter twice in the upper body
- McCord shot Maples in her upper body
- Maples shot Gibson
At some point, one of the ladies decided that she didn’t want to die after all and called 911 from a cell phone. “Please, three of us have been shot,” the woman told the operator. “I think she’s dying.”
When police arrived, they found Maples standing in the driveway, Gibson was dead in a bedroom and McCord was inside the garage. McCord and Maples were taken to Carolinas Medical Center-Union in Monroe and later taken to Carolinas Medical Center in Charlotte where they save people regardless of IQ levels.
The home they lived in is in a neighborhood of 100 homes valued from $245,000 to $400,000. Police had been to the home on a couple of domestic disturbance issues in the past, but Deborah Gibson’s husband, William Gibson, was not living at the house. All three of these women were under investigation in regards to prescription forgery, Maples pleading guilty to forging a prescription on Tuesday and receiving 18-months probation.

unbelieveable. Deborah Gibson shot her daughter? TWICE?
Those must have been some really bad pharmaceutical refreshments. Either that or her music career never recovered from that horrible crap she released in the 80s. Electric Youth, my ass.

I swear, you couldn’t make this shit up and get away with it.
This does show why we need more handguns. One out of Three isn’t bad at all. If these women had poisoned themselves, all of them would have likely died. More handguns, less bleach, I always say.

LOL. I remember that singer. Didn’t she belong to a group named the Bangles before going solo?
This Deb, however, was obviously determined to off her daughter. That’ll teach the disrespectful bitch to smartmouth her mother, won’t it? LOL. But ya gotta wonder why the mom wanted to be the one to shoot her own daughter. I could NEVER hurt one of my kids like that! I have a hard time spanking them even when they DO need it.

ROFL, Swivel! You so damn funny……
9:07 am on March 28th, 2008
No, she was always solo and NOW she is a broadway actress. Don’t hate bitches!!
Does anyone know if the home is up for sale? I need some investment property and I heard the Charlotte area is the only place that home values have gone up. I bet I could get a great deal on the house…depending of course on where the blood stains and bullet holes are. Cha Ching!
9:14 am on March 28th, 2008
Why would you want to move to Charlotte?!
9:15 am on March 28th, 2008
Donating to the needy in one post, bargain hunting in the next – can I be your apprentice, Kathy? *giggle*
9:19 am on March 28th, 2008
Well, going by the news, you will have a nice home with bloodstains in the bedroom, garage and driveway. If you are lucky, there may even be blood trails mixed with tears of pain and suffering. You very own domesticated version of the The Trail of Tears you could lead eventual house guests on during dinner parties!
9:24 am on March 28th, 2008
Not moving. I said INVESTMENT property…but only if they can guarantee me that the lady actually DIED in the house. I think I’ll do a ghost tour type thing.
If I am lucky, one of the other dumb bitches will commit suicide in the jail.
Then – yee haw- ticket prices have just doubled.
Pine boxes aren’t cheap Angel!
9:32 am on March 28th, 2008
And shipping prices have increased significantly with the rise in gas prices, too, huh? Gotta recoup that money somewhere, don’t you? See…… that’s why I wanna be your apprentice, so I can learn from a true artist…..
9:36 am on March 28th, 2008
I think it’s terribly ironic that Mommy, who shot her daughter twice, is the only one that died.
I also think these priceless treasures are the epitomy of twatwaffles. Seriously, suicide by gunshot but they shoot each other in the upper body?? Try pressed directly against your forehead or tickling your tonsil next time you dumbass.
9:40 am on March 28th, 2008
The mother didn’t die, the daughter did….
10:01 am on March 28th, 2008
Well then I’m confused bcs the article states Gibson is the mother and McCord is the daughter. Gibson shot McCord twice, Gibson was dead in the bedroom, McCord and Maples were taken to the hospital, so I “assumed” by that the mother died. But I do see also where Morbid wrote it was Maples and Gibson who were charged, so Morbid is Gibson dead or in jail? Make up your mind, man.
10:13 am on March 28th, 2008
Now, I’m confused too. I saw where it said what you just told me, but in the second paragraph, it states:
Are they arresting corpses, now? Somebody please clear this up for us…..
*drooooool*
10:18 am on March 28th, 2008
Seriously, you guys are strange. I have no fucking clue what any of you are talking about. I am amazed that any of you still think I make mistakes. Sheesh.
10:20 am on March 28th, 2008
I did my own digging Angel and this is from our local news..
Gibson died at the scene; McCord and Maples were taken to the hospital before Maples was arrested and moved to jail. Police say McCord will also be arrested once she’s released from the hospital.
So the mother did die and **gasp** Morbid made a mistake by saying Gibson was arrested.

Thanks, Becca, for the info, and thanks to Morbid for the reading lesson. I would rather have seen Dick, though.
11:08 am on March 28th, 2008
LOL!!
11:13 am on March 28th, 2008
11:45 am on March 28th, 2008
LMAO Yes I would like to see Dick too Angel…..Fuck jane and her little dog Spot!
11:54 am on March 28th, 2008
mom of 4 said, “Fuck jane and her little dog Spot!”
Ummmm mom of 4, that would get us a spot on the front page on DD…lmao
12:18 pm on March 28th, 2008
love it all – rolflmao
12:21 pm on March 28th, 2008
ROFLMAO Guess I didn’t word that very well did I?
12:27 pm on March 28th, 2008
Yeah, and that would bring the ASPCA and PETA down on your ass, too!
12:42 pm on March 28th, 2008
Why would they want to die by gunshot wounds? They (forensic specialists) say that women will usually chose a less violent way to commit suicide, but in this case, they were murdering each other. Most women usually do an overdose or sit in the garage with the engine running…

2:18 pm on March 28th, 2008
Giggles…….Yeah, you did word it properly. It brought tears to my eyes when I first read it!!!
5:42 pm on March 28th, 2008
HAY, U loosers. They r ReEl Poople! Its Nut Funy!
Just kidding. After an enforced break, Wrybread (me) is back and am heartened or maybe disheartened to see that people are still killing and abusing each other in inventive ways.
I’m betting the ladies didn’t want a messed up face in the coffin, so therefore did not put the gun to their heads. Which shows that the cult of beauty does indeed get in the way of women achieving their goals.
5:49 pm on March 28th, 2008
Wrybread, you did it wrong. You’re supposed to join sentences with….or–or just let them all run on together. However, if you must use exclamation points, please use multiple!!!! (And a comma? C’mon! As if!)
5:54 pm on March 28th, 2008
That house is valued at $400,000, tops? Wow. In my neighborhood, an UGLY 1 bed, 1 bath at 1060 sqft is going for $330k. If only I could bring myself to move to a place no one else seems to want to.
5:57 pm on March 28th, 2008
Lizard, you’re right. It was an amateur effort. I just couldn’t get into the mood demanded by such an effort. I did work in my favorite insult, “Loosers!” That always gives me a big laugh.
8:28 pm on March 28th, 2008
Suicide Pact? Something smells fishy to me….ummm shit maybe I should go check myself? ………….
Nope not me….must be this fucking story.;)
8:33 pm on March 28th, 2008
Suburban suicide pact, Take 2:
After you – no after you – it’s my pleasure – you first – no I insist – BLAM! BLAM-BLAM!!
More coffee?
8:37 pm on March 28th, 2008
most everyone does not know what went on with this family. with drugs, you are never sane. they were going through many issues and this was the only way they knew to get out. by the way, charlotte is booming with more and more people moving there. and no, the house is not for sale.
11:31 pm on March 28th, 2008
I have a lovely and VACANT 1668sf home in northwest ohio that I’m stuck paying the f’ing mortgage on. $135,000… Anyone want to move there?
11:44 pm on March 28th, 2008
How much you gonna pay me? Never mind, it’s too cold for too many months of the year up there. I’ll stay right here in Backwoods, GA, where we only get really cold weather for a few weeks a year, at most. We just roast like pigs the rest of the time. Bacon, anyone?

1) Debbie Gibson was never a member of the Bangles.
2) Monetary value of real estate has no bearing on the upbringing/mental/emotional state/class of the person to whom it is attached.
3) Unless a member of the family or friends posts, we will probably not be able to guess/determine the mental/emotional state of the participants/victims.
So, yeah.
12:29 am on March 29th, 2008
Established in 5th post
I would argue that someone raised on a tropical island in a sprawling mansion would have quite a different upbringing than a kid raised in the back seat of a car on the streets of Detroit.
Well, It’s not too hard to guess the mental state of the participants and victim. Here, watch. Suicidal?
12:37 am on March 29th, 2008
Well, even if one of those persons were to post, we could not guarantee that we definitively know what the mental/emotional state of the participants were, because of the possibility that the poster might be lying, or telling only part of the truth, or unable to perfectly communicate his/her intent with the written word, or self-deluded (etc.). However, this merely leaves us where we typically are when it comes to front-page cases.
Now that I think about it, I can’t say I ever know–with complete accuracy–the mental/emotional state even of those people to whom I’m closest. Thus, I have just wasted several minutes responding to something meaningless. Dammit!
12:39 am on March 29th, 2008
Watch your fucking mouth! That Pinto was my world!
12:42 am on March 29th, 2008
LOfuckingL!
12:44 am on March 29th, 2008
That was you?!? Sorry about that stolen hubcap thing…..you won’t hold it against me will you?
12:46 am on March 29th, 2008
Thanks tons, bitch! I was going to take that hubcap to Show and Tell the next day, but noooo, I had to take a used condom I picked up off the street instead. I got a D, for God’s sake!
12:54 am on March 29th, 2008
Sucks to be you, don’t it?
P.S. The condom was mine, so I guess we can call it an even trade…..
And my condom probably cost more than your hubcap was worth, anyway. So there!
12:55 am on March 29th, 2008
Er, speaking of that condom, did you ever get yourself checked out? I can hear that condition can be painful…even fatal…
1:02 am on March 29th, 2008
I said it was mine, but I never said I was the one who used it. You need to go and ask yo mama that question, biotch!
1:03 am on March 29th, 2008
I did ask, she said it was you. I think she has a photo and some lab results.
1:08 am on March 29th, 2008
Musta been my evil twin….Muahahahaha
