So, without further ado, let's jump right in and find out more about the Alabama man, Derrill Ennis, ahead of the debut of the upcoming 48 Hours episode on CBS.
Derrill Ennis is currently imprisoned at the Montgomery County Virginia Prison
Who is Derrill Ennis and what did he do?
The astonishing and chilling story about Derrill Ennis goes back to June 2006. Derrill Ennis was reportedly a 28-year-old man at the time and originally belonged to Auburn, Alabama. He was allegedly friends with Lori Ann Slesinski.
According to Lori's closest friend Lindsay Braun, Derrill was with Lori on the day of her disappearance. She claims to have heard his voice in the background when she was talking to Lori Ann over the phone.
After Lori Ann's disappearance, authorities questioned Ennis as he saw Lori on the day she vanished. However, Ennis told investigators that when he last saw her, she was absolutely fine.
However, during the investigation, Ennis' bone-chilling past came to light.
Reportedly, back when he was only 12 years of age, he murdered both of his parents because they had planned to move elsewhere. He went to juvenile prison for nine years for committing the unthinkable crime. Ennis was released from there when he was 21 years old.
In Lori Ann's case, however, authorities failed to collect any solid evidence, pointing towards him as the murderer, and the case went cold. Mysteriously, Ennis left Alabama and moved away.
Where is Derrill Ennis now?
In 2016, the case was reopened and several vital pieces of evidence were collected, that linked Ennis to the sinister disappearance and murder of Lori Ann Slesinski. In August 2018, authorities arrested Ennis in Pilot, Virginia. He resided in a rural area there and was engaged to a librarian.
Ennis was charged with capital murder in the Lori Ann Slesinski case. He was also found guilty of burglary and kidnapping by authorities. He was then soon convicted by the United States Marshals Fugitive Task Force.
Derrill Ennis is currently imprisoned without bond at the Montgomery County Virginia Prison. In March 2022, he went on trial for the brutal kidnapping and murder of Lori Ann Slesinski.
