Aundria Bowman has been missing from Holland, MI since March 11, 1989. Awaiting tests to verify she has recently been found!

Aundria disappeared shortly after she accused her adoptive father, Dennis Lee Bowman, of sexually abusing her. After 30 years, Dennis has confessed to killing her.

Brenda needs to back off. She didn't help Aundria in life, so let her bio mom have the honor!

Brenda is lucky she's not being charged too.

I honestly can't see how she could afford to fight Cathy.

I've been ready to make a petition if needed but I doubt she will

What an &*&^%$!

So, the adoptive mother didn't know? She had to have known he was a CREEP, though!

This also gives us insight into a killer who moves the evidence, even years after.

ALLEGAN, Mich. (WOOD) — The man heading to trial in the murder of his daughter three decades ago has admitted to another horrific crime, which could be among his first in decades of suspected crimes against women.


Police told News 8 that Dennis Bowman confessed to a rape and assault incident in 1979. The victim was a 27-year-old woman from Holland.


The headline from 1979 reads, “Man sought in assault” in October of that year. The Ottawa County Sheriff’s Office was looking for a young man who raped and assaulted a Holland Township woman in her home. The description of the suspect was a white male between 25 and 30 years old with sandy hair and wire-rimmed glasses.


More than 40 years later, Dennis Bowman admitted to police that he “did bad things to her.”


The home was located near James Street and Butternut Drive. Bowman was living at a mobile home park just down the street. The reports from the time said the 27-year-old woman was bound and gagged before being sexually assaulted.

This pervert/killer is a serial predator! I have to wonder if there were any signs of this when they were going through the adoption process?

And the adoptive mother. REALLY?. She went missing. He buries her on the property and pours concrete over her.

He deserves death. All these years being free. Uh uh.

Sometimes they adopt to abuse which is so sick. IDR But I am sure he sexually abused her as well. I can't see someone like him not.

 

[Mel70]

Castrate then kill him.

I tend to lean that way as well. Just basing it on his other crimes involving sex and that he had no love for her is obvious.

 

[Mel70]

He has no conscious apparently. He dismembered her too. Why?.

 

[Mel70]

I don't believe him saying she wouldn't fit in a container.

 

[Mel70]

Took her remains to another property too. He got off on that IMO. Control of only he knew where she was. It's just horrific.

Hamilton murder suspect calls for new judge

Dennis Bowman, a Hamilton man accused of killing his daughter 31 years ago, made the case in court Tuesday that Judge Margaret Bakker should be disqualified from overseeing his trial.

Hamilton murder suspect calls for new judge​

Attorneys for a Hamilton man accused of the cold case murder of his adoptive daughter argued Tuesday he should get a new judge.

Bowman's lawyers said Judge Margaret Bakker should not oversee his trial because of her involvement in the case as an assistant prosecuting attorney in the Allegan County Prosecutor's Office in 1989, when Aundria was reported as a runaway.

Richard Catalino, Bowman's lead defense attorney, said he found a reference to Bakker's involvement in a note on a police report.

As a staff attorney in the prosecutor's office, she signed off on a search warrant as part of the process for Aundria after Bowman reported her missing, according to Catalino.

I thought he led them to her body? Why is he having a trial? I don’t know why I thought he already pled in this case.

'He finally told the truth': Man pleads no contest to murdering adoptive daughter in 1989​

A West Michigan man has pleaded no contest to murdering his adoptive daughter more than 30 years ago.

Wednesday morning, Dennis Bowman pleaded no contest to second-degree murder in the death of 14-year-old Aundria in Allegan County Circuit Court.

“We’re moving forward with a plea today… is that correct," asked Judge Margaret Bakker at the start of Bowman's hearing on Wednesday.

"Yes, your honor," he replied, looking much different than he did when initially charged in the case.

Dennis Lee Bowman has long denied any involvement in the disappearance of his adopted daughter, Aundria Bowmn, in 1989.

On Tuesday, he finally accepted legal responsibility for her death.

“Dennis Lee Bowman will be pleading no contest to murder in the 2nd degree, as an habitual offender 2nd offense notice. That is a felony level charge, and a life offense,” a prosecutor said in court.

A no contest plea means the person accepts the punishment for a crime but does not admit guilt.

Bowman is scheduled to be sentenced on February 7, 2022.

I hope they give him the max since he’s been free all these years and didn’t serve any time until now.
