Profile
My name is Terry Apel and I am sentenced to life in prison plus 30 years for attempted homicide, plus another 30 years for conspiracy to commit homicide.
I’m sorry to tell you that I am responsible for causing the death of a 13-year-old girl who was to be my stepdaughter. Her mom is why I have the attempted and conspiracy charges. It is no excuse for any crime, but I was very lost in drugs such as acid, crack cocaine, and pot. On top of these things, I had become a person who needed to be drunk everyday. You could say that I turned into a person who at the time gave up on life and became a very disliked person by almost everyone.
When my crime took place at my own home, I did not know what I had done until I woke up on the floor next to my fiancé and her daughter. And, my thinking didn’t become any more rational because instead of trying to get help, I picked up my shotgun to attempt to kill myself – for I did think at that time that I killed both the women in my life that I loved. I shot myself in the head. I woke in blood to hear my fiancé trying to speak and that’s when I crawled for help. Because then I realized that maybe all life could be saved. The end result is the sentence I’ve told you.
I have received forgiveness from my ex-girlfriend and her family, but no so much from my family.
I have facial damage to my upper teeth, jaw and nose. I’ve had extensive surgeries that included a forehead flap to re-create a nose and the nose holes. God bless the doctors for they have done a wonderful job considering the damage I did. I’m including two photos for this reason. Front view and side view. The nose I will have for the remainder of my life is flat – but – in my eyes, wonderful.
Every day that has gone by since then has made me become a very sensitive and emotional person who now sees all the sorrows of this world and one who no longer likes seeing things like horror films or hearing hateful music.
I like classical music and older country like Johnny Case, Merl Haggard, George Jones, Willie Nelson, etc, etc. I like all types of Gospel music, but not all because every individual likes a particular beat.
I do have three sons who are now 19, 18, and 17 years old from two relationships prior to my crime.
I’m seeking letters from whoever can see that people make bad mistakes and still need companionship. Race and gender are not an issue with me in any way.
I am allowed to have photographs and computer print-out photographs, but NO Polaroids.
I ask that you please forgive me for being so bold and painting such a graphic picture in your minds, but I do feel that I must be fully honest for the rest of my life. It’s the only right way to live.
Thank you for your time and I hope and pray I hear from you.
