Michael Stayer Hammered His Ex
June 22, 2009 by Jaded
Whitestown, Indiana–After her divorce from Michael Stayer was finalized last month, Beth Stayer was moving on and making a new life for herself and her children. Just two weeks ago, Beth purchased a condo in Whitestown, where she resided with the couple’s two young children, ages 2 and 5. By all accounts, Beth was an intelligent and kind-hearted woman who loved her children, her life, and her job as a postpartum nurse. At just 34-years-old, Beth had a long and fulfilling life ahead of her. MichaelMichael reviews
? He wasn’t having it.

Michael placed a call to 911, from Beth’s home, FridayFriday reviews
morning to report that his ex-wife had assaulted him with a hammer. When paramedics arrived at the scene, Michael was treated for a hand injury that he said he received when Beth attacked him. What led police to search Beth’s home is unknown, but, shortly after their arrival, Beth was found in her 2-year-old daughter’s bedroom, with her face and skull bashed in. Unfortunately, Beth did not survive the beating…she died the next day. There was a witness to the violence Michael dished out on his ex-wife…the couple’s 5-year-old son.
According to a police affidavit, when the child was interviewed, he told investigators that he heard noises and screaming coming from his sister’s room and went upstairs to see what was going on. He stated that “dad had hit mommy” and that his father had used a hammer and “a killer,” which police believe was a tire iron found in Michael’s vehicle. When asked if his parents had ever been violent with each other before, the little guy said he didn’t want to talk about it anymore. After police got to the scene, Michael’s brother, David Stayer, arrived and wanted to take the kids and Michael’s vehicle, which potentially had evidence inside. He was denied, and investigators are now searching Michael’s cell phone records to see if he called or texted any instructions to his brother.
Michael Stayer, 31, is being held in the Boone County Jail without bond on charges of murder, aggravated battery, battery resulting in serious bodily injury, and domestic battery. Both children have been placed in a foster home for the time being.

God, that’s just fucking horrible. I hope that poor kid can somehow find healing. Let’s pray he ends up with a family who can give him the care he’s going to need.

Death to the mother’s children wasn’t horrific enough, he had to do it as his own child would hear his mother’s beating. And from what is read, these children have witnessed fights, violent ones most likely.
This poor child, his life is forever changed, never to feel whole again. And the one person who likely gave him comfort and sense in all of life’s madness, was his mother. Now she is gone by the hand of his father, and he knows that….this is a sure way to end childhood and bring on misery. Fuck you Michael Stayer. You are a mean SOB with a heart of hate. Get used to the heat on you bastard, as Hell will be your final home.
Children always get caught in adult bullshit….they always lose.
Rest in peace Beth Stayer. I hope you know now that your children were not killed, tho I can’t say much for the well being of their hearts and mind. I hope they get all the help and comfort they will need during this terrible time.
So sorry little ones.

I hope this is a sign that he will find a way to cope and not just something he has learnt to say from his parents. Children will say what they hear, and “I don’t want to talk about it anymore” sounds like the sort of thing that might be said leading up to a divorce……

No! Why?

Rest in peace, Beth. I’m sorry that you were taken to early and that you will never see your children grow up. I hape the Michael rots in prison. He is a selfish piece of shit.

Michael Stayer, you ugly stupid fuck. You not only took away the mother of your children, but you have now left your 5 year old child scarred by what he saw and heard. May you live the rest of your days hearing Beth’s screams.
Your children will no longer have that one person devoted to them. I hate you for that.
Hell if my hubby doesn’t want to be with me, he just has to get up and go. No fears of hammers, or any other weapons.
RIP Beth, and I pray that your children will someday heal from all this.

This story makes me so sad. I didn’t know Beth, but the more I read about her, the more I wish I had. She seems to have been a sweet, caring, warm-hearted person.
I found this article from February of last year talking about the job market in Hamilton Co. that features a photo of Beth on the job as a postpartum nurse.

I’m heartbroken for her family, especially her beautiful young children.

This reminds me of the Brent Stephens case (that is his name, right)? Only not even Brent beat his wife to death in front of one of the kids! But, like Brent, Michael Stayer didn’t have the balls to kill himself afterward and even worse, he had the fucking nerve to imply that his ex started the whole thing. Yeah, that little hand injury is right up there with a fucking bashed in face. Was he planning on claiming self-defense at trial? If so, he’s as stupid as he is evil.
