Netflix has undoubtedly established itself as the unofficial centre for many aspects of non-fiction filmmaking. It is providing fans with enjoyable and instructional feature-length and episodic films to savour. It has been a crucial year for documentary enthusiasts.
Know Who Is Anthony Lowden First Husband Of Sally McNeil And Their Children
We discover through the movie, which was released on November 2, 2022, that Sally McNeil was a former bodybuilder who killed her husband Ray McNeil on February 14, 1995. The reports claim that after accusing Ray of abuse, McNeil shot and murdered him.
However, her relationship with her former husband, Ray, wasn’t her first. In light of this, let’s concentrate on Anthony Lowden, Sally McNeil’s first husband, and what he claimed about their marriage.
Sally McNeill’s First Husband: Anthony Lowden
Shantina, the child Sally McNeil had with Anthony Lowden during their four years of marriage, was eleven years old when her father, Ray McNeil, passed away. John, Sally’s nine-year-old son was clueless regarding who his father was at the time. When Ray was killed, he was also living with McNeil.
Lowden has not been interviewed in the documentary, but according to reports, he previously shared his opinions with the San Diego Union-Tribune on the murder case.
He asserted, “As sure as Ray McNeil lies dead, it could’ve been me,” and claimed that his ex-wife had become “unhinged” since starting a bodybuilding career.
As per the records, McNeil was detained in 1990 after pointing a gun at Lowden and using a metal bar to break the windows of his car. As fans of Killer Sally are aware, the marriage ended in divorce, and she later remarried.
Do You Know When Sally McNeil Met Ray?
At Camp Pendleton, close to San Diego, the two met in 1987 while serving as Marine Corps officers. They quickly developed a romantic relationship and got married that same year. Taking that into account, Sally McNeil was arrested three years after she wed her second husband after having a run-in with Lowden.
In 1996, Sally McNeil was found guilty of second-degree murder and given a sentence ranging from 19 years to life in prison. After being reversed, the conviction was later upheld in 2004. 2020 saw McNeil’s parole release, according to Newsweek.
When Sally was imprisoned, Shantina McNeil and her brother John moved in with their grandmother.
