The woman charged with killing her daughter’s boyfriend is back in court this morning for a preliminary hearing. And we’re hearing the 911 tapes from that night for the first time

Police say 51-year old Teresa Lynn Baker shot and killed Jeffery Sadler at his home on Cedar Street in Huntington last week.

Sadler who was 29 lived next door. Baker’s daughter, Alison Grieco was the victim's girlfriend and lived at the house. Grieco told investigators that Baker entered her house and was confronted by Sadler.

Grieco then heard Baker say “what are you doing.” Grieco then said she heard three gunshots and observed the victim collapse on the floor.

The criminal complaint then says that Baker left the house and walked back to her house and called 911 saying she had shot her neighbor.

Before the shooting, police say Baker called 911 to report a disturbance between her and Sadler.

During this morning’s hearing, the 911 tapes from that night were played in court. Baker’s attorney is also questioning Huntington Police Detective Chris Sperry about those calls and the about the police response time.

Magistrate Mike Woelfel found probable cause in the hearing Wednesday afternoon. The case will now be bound over to a grand jury.

Three children were in the house when the shooting happened. They were taken into police custody.

Apparently, the domestic disturbance that night wasn't the first for this family. According to police records, Grieco filed domestic battery charges against Sadler last year.

According to court records, Sadler didn't appear in court for battery charges.

Back in June, Grieco stated she was missing some money, when she confronted Sadler, he became irate and struck her in the face 4 times and said next time he would rob her blind and then fled the scene.

Three children were in the house when the shooting happened. They were taken into police custody.

Baker is being held without bond in the Western Regional Jail until she goes before a grand jury.

Family members of Baker and Sadler were in court Wednesday morning, declined comment.

To: Still Sad Thank you for telling the truth about the situation. No, we weren't there at the time of the fight. However, those of use that knew Jeff knew that he was trying to stay away from Alison and get his life in order. I saw him 2 days before this happened and he was so worried about the future of his kids. He was trying to clean his life up and Alison was trying to prevent it. She couldn't stand the thought of him cleaning up and possibly taking the kids away. Obviously he had a very troubled past, but he was attempting to remedy it. That is why Teresa Baker thought that she had to kill him. Not to protect her daughter or grandchildren, but to keep control over them. I just wish that people would get the whole story before they posted comments.
Posted by: Still Sad on Feb 18, 2008 at 03:45 PM
No one has to believe me. The truth is the truth. How could I possibly know about what Alison was or was not doing??? During a fight the previos week, I heard Alison screaming at Jeff at the top of her lungs. Can you guess what that fight was about? Same thing.
Posted by: Vikki on Feb 17, 2008 at 08:34 PM
How could anyone want this woman out of jail? She took the life of a young man,endangered the lives of the young children in the house. In my opinion she knew what she was going to do. Do some not understand that a life was taken?? To let Ms. Baker out of jail would be sending a terrible message to others to do the same thing in another domestic dispute.Please don't forget the young life, and the endangered children!!!!

Hey "So Sad": How could you possibly know what their fight that night was about? Were you there that night? Doesn't sound like you were. How could you possibly know what Alison was doing or not doing? Stop making idiotic crap up. Nobody believes you, because you couldn't have possibly been there.

I am a grandmother. Raising my grandson full time because his mother, my daughter got messed up this drugs. She was in an abusive relationship with the father of the child. She turned to drugs to excape the father. My daughter is now clean and sober but can not begin to understand her son. The reason for all this information is so that people understand, been there done that. But I could NEVER ever in good conscience expose my grandson to the violence and terror that woman exposed her own grandchildren to when she shot and killed there dad in front of them. How can anyone think this is self-defense? That is bull ****. And to blame the city government for a woman's action? Come on people get real. Ms. Baker knew there was no danger any more, everything was calm. Alison wasn't even in the house at the time... How can it be self-defense when Jeff was not armed... was sitting calmly with his children and watching TV? I am appalled at the sheer stupidity that some people have.

This is for Doug... So are you saying that women deserve to be beaten? Is that what they choose, to be battered? There are plenty of circumstances which cause women to stay with abusers. Fianancial reasons, threats to family members, ummm maybe fear? Come on Doug, dust off the dirt and come on in to 2008- I think you'll like it here.
Posted by: So Sad on Feb 15, 2008 at 12:30 AM
I can't believe that people call this self defense. The fight was over and this man was unarmed. Jeff had been getting his life together and trying to stay away from Alison. She wouldn't let him go. By the way, the fight was over the fact that Alison wanted some crack and Jeff would not go get it for her. Also, he was not dealing drugs, did not live w/her, and had been staying away. The night before she would not leave him be. She was determined to fight w/him and ruin his time. When he was gone, she couldn't stand it. She was out early Monday morning smoking crack while the kids were home alone. Really good mom. Don't be fooled. Alison was no saint. She would provoke him and would not stop. She loved the drama. She cried wolf so much it was hard to take her seriously. She filed a DVP and was out with him the same day. Jeff was not the only one to blame here. Alison had a fatal attraction. It became apparent that dealing w/Alison would result in death or jail for Jeff.

On that cold Monday night,I was sitting at home with my children a few houses down from this tragedy.I was scared for my family and outraged over the sounds of gunshots.As the night grew,so did the story of domestic violence.This house had a documented history of abuse,but police didn't seem to take it serioulsy enough to stop by after the first call to 911.The victim was the father of 2 of the 3 babies that were carried out of that house that night.My eyes weeped and my heart stopped.Perhaps this situation's outcome could've been different,perhaps not.In this year of 2008,why do we condone domestic and child abuse then throw stones at those who become fed up?This is a wake up call to us all.We,as human beings,must stand together in order to stop violence against women and children.NO ONE deserves to live in fear.How many women need to be murdered and how many children need to be physically and sexually abused before help finds its way?I don't know about you,but I'm not one to wait!

Wake up people! This lady was doing what any mother would do.Put the blame where it belong's. The Police failed this family,now they want to punish the mother because she had to step in and save her child and grandchildren. This woman acted in self defence.It should not matter who he is or who his father is. The man got what was comin to him.Send her home to the family she loves.
Posted by: Me too on Feb 14, 2008 at 09:01 PM
If my daughter's husband or any other man beat my daughter or made threats to her I would do the same as this mother did .It's not just the HPD it is all over WV if they have calls to your home for DV them they flag you red and take their time at responding no matter what is going on and yes they are going to cover up what they have done wrong . It should not have took a hour to respond to anything. We should all stand behind this women . sorry for the family's loss but he should not have been their

When you call the law all the time, they tend to not take you as seriously. It makes a mockery of the system when the police are called and charges/DVP's are filed, then the alleged victim doesn't show up for court. As we can all see, this game can have deadly consequences. What a waste of valuable resources like time, money, and manpower.
Posted by: Misty on Feb 14, 2008 at 02:50 PM
Premeditated?! She called the police for help first, obviously she hadn't planned on killing him! Huntington has NO Court System or Police Protection!
Posted by: me on Feb 14, 2008 at 02:08 PM
Did'nt the police say these things would happen in 2002 when 1/3 of the police force was layed off. Gordon Ramey felt so strong about it that he lost his job. Don't be mad at the police be mad at your elected and re-elected officials.

I agree with Kentucky. This woman tried everything to get the police there. HPD at its best again. She should be set free.
Posted by: Hmmmm...... on Feb 14, 2008 at 01:16 PM
I am behind this woman 1000%. The police didn't show up because he was Darrell Black's grandson, pure and simple. She had no choice but to kill him to protect her daughter, and I'd have done the same thing if I were in her situation. That boy was useless, a violent abuser and a crackhead, who had beaten her daughter many times before, and had beaten her too. When he said he was going to gut her daughter, she had every reason in the world to believe he meant it. She merely exercised her constitutional right to self-defense. I don't know this woman, but I hope someone is reading this and can tell her how overwhelming the support for her is in the community. She did what ANY mother would have done given the circumstances. She just had the bad luck to have had to do it to the grandson of the man who runs this city, but she wouldn't have had to do it if the police didn't just let him run wild in the first place. Drop all charges against this woman, and release her now!

it is very sad that it had to come to this and yes there are a lot of very sad people on both sides my heart gos out to the family of the victom and also to the suspect but i agree with all other posters and the atterny the falt of this should fall in the lap of the city gov. if it has been going on for ten years something should have been done a long time ago to avoild a act of what every one should consider self defence regardless of who the grandfather is and being that it has been going on for ten years the grandfather should have done intersepted in this matter himself to put a stop to this instead of letting it go so far that his name came up in the matter and yes i would have done the same thing to protect one of my children .any real parent would have.
Posted by: Debbie on Feb 14, 2008 at 11:42 AM
Seems to me like malicious prosecution. Could it be because his grandfather is a magistrate? Ist degree premeditated murder is absurd. If she'd taken time to plan it, maybe she could've gotten away with it. Man 2 at most, since she called and waited for help that never came.
Posted by: KAREN on Feb 14, 2008 at 10:46 AM
IT WOULD BE NICE IF PEOPLE WOULD GET THE FACTS STRAIGHT BEFORE THEY SPOUT OFF. THE ARGUMENT WAS OVER AND ALISON WAS NOT IN DANGER. TERESA BAKER GOT HER GUN AND WAITED ON THE PORCH. SHE HAD 1HR & 9MIN. TO DECIDE WHAT TO DO. THERE WAS NO IMMEDIATE THREAT TO ALISON OR THE KIDS. I THINK BAKER WAS TIRED OF THE FIGHTING AND DECIDED TO END IT. WHEN YOU SHOOT AN UNARMED MAN IN COLD BLOOD YOU MUST PAY. IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH DARRELL BLACK. COLD BLOODED PREMEDITATED MURDER IS UNACCEPTABLE. BY THE WAY, THE DEFENSE QUOTED THE 911 DISTPATHER INCORRECTLY. 911 SAID TO WATCH FOR POLICE, NOT WAIT ON THE PORCH. SHE GOT HER GUN OUT AND WAITED. I TRULY BELIEVE IF SHE DIDN'T SHOOT HIM THAT NIGHT THEN IT WOULD HAVE BEEN THE NEXT TIME. LIKE ALISON SAID, EVERYONE WAS SICK OF THE FIGHTING. I'M SURE HER MOM WAS ALSO, BUT THAT STILL DOES NOT GIVE HER THE RIGHT TO TAKE A LIFE. WHEN YOU CALL THE LAW A LOT & PRESS CHARGES BUT DON'T FOLLOW THROUGH, IT'S BECOMES HARDER & HARDER TO TAKE YOU SERIOUSLY.

What jury on the planet (or Grand Jury) would indict this obvious case of defending someone in imminent danger of either serious harm or death? In NC, she probably wouldn't have been arrested! BS system if you ask me...
Posted by: D on Feb 14, 2008 at 09:07 AM
She tried to get the police to help. That didn't work. What would YOU do if it was your daughter being beat up on? Murder is not the answer, and of course she should be punished...somewhat. I do not blame the mother at all. It's just such a sad situation.
Posted by: LOCAL OBSERVER on Feb 14, 2008 at 08:56 AM
What a shame! Here again the result of drugs in this area. This young man, had a history of drug abuse, Alison should have ended it completely with him before her mother had to intervene. Teresa does not deserve to be put away for life for protecting her grandchildren. Until this city turns their backs on these drug users this kind of thing will continue. How horrible that this had to come to another bad end for another local family.
Posted by: Charlie on Feb 14, 2008 at 05:55 AM
I don't know enough about this case to make a judgement but I would like to add that a DVP can be obtained very easy to easy all a person has to do is SAY someone threatened them & that they are afraid of this person. No proof is needed ,then the majority of these petitions are dropped once the petitioner cools down & by the time they get to court the truth comes out ,they are not afraid and as a matter of fact they had all the time in the world to leave but decided to remain with whom the petition was against. Not saying this is the case here just that there is a major flaw with these DVP's. & just because there was at one time one against you doesn't mean much. Looks like this one was dropped also. Get my point?
Posted by: sharon on Feb 14, 2008 at 03:46 AM
why did't the police respond, they could have saved a life, and the life of the kids, and grandmother, i don't blame her for what she done she was protecting her family , thats what anyone would have done if they were in her spot, now what are the poor kids going to have to go though seeing their father shot,
Posted by: anonymous on Feb 14, 2008 at 02:54 AM
If the Police knew this guy had a long time record of Drug Dealings why was he not LOCKED UP? Did the Police call CPS about the drugs in this home? If not! Why not? If CPS knew,why was this man in the home? How many times has CPS being called by anyone about this man who did drugs in this home? Were any of these little children his? It sound as though this grandmother was really frightened! How sad that she had to deal with this(Man who DEALS DRUGS) around her family! She did try to get HELP when she called the POLICE! After waiting for over an hour for the POLICE to come,it sounds like the woman was so frightened of this man,and for her family ,she just snapped!

I agree w/steve, I noticed the same thing. The attorney twisted the daughter's comments. So sad!
Posted by: Nikki on Feb 14, 2008 at 12:13 AM
I constatntly hear everyone defending this woman. I am not saying what she did was the right or wrong decision here, but everyone needs to realize that it i svery tragic that a life was lost. I knew Jeff and several of his family members and all I hear is how everone stands behind his murderer! Everyone has the right to their own opinion, but come on people... he is no longer here to defend himself or tell his side of the story. There are different sides to every story, but unfortantely Jeff will not be here in court to tell his side. He has a mother, a father, a grandfather, and loads of other family members who miss him terribly. You can day that you stand behind Teresa and that if it was your daughter you would have done the same thing...... but how would you feel if the shoe was on the other foot and he was your son?
Posted by: Vikki on Feb 14, 2008 at 12:01 AM
I feel that if Ms. Baker had that much time to wait for the police and sit on her porch, she had time to think about what she was going to do.If her daughter was in that much danger why wasn't she inside with her???? To me it appears she planned to do it. She shot a young man to death. Look at what she did in front of her grandson. She could have shot at him or scared him off, but she had no right to take his life. From what I understand her daughter is no angel.A bullet could have hit one of her grandchildren. She is where she needs to be.
Posted by: Traci on Feb 13, 2008 at 11:34 PM
I just listened to the 911 tapes. The prosacuter needs to listen again. The daughter states "mom why did you do this with the kids here!" BIG DIFFERENCE then what she was aguring, the daughter said "MOM WHY DID YOU DO THIS". WHoever listen closely next time to do your job right.
Posted by: crystal on Feb 13, 2008 at 10:48 PM
Sounds like a mother protecting her child and grandchildren, who in their right mind would'nt. i'm just sorry the kids had to see it thats sad.
Posted by: Steve on Feb 13, 2008 at 10:28 PM
I don't know this woman, but she is getting railroaded by the prosecuting attorney. On the 911 call, the daughter said "Mom, how could you have done this in front of the kids?" But, the Prosecuting Attorney's assistant quoted her totally out of context by saying "Mom, how could you have done this?" using this to try to show premeditation. They, the "law", know they screwed up and their trying to put it away. When the address for this first 911 call came up on the screen, with the past history of this couple,so did the info. about Mr. Sadler.This info. should have included information about his absence at last year's battery hearing, and a warrant for his arrest. If the HPD is so short staffed that they cannot respond to these types of calls, then they cannot provide adequate protection to the public. In the absence of the law, Ms. Baker has a Constitutional right to protect her life and property.
Posted by: Steve on Feb 13, 2008 at 09:32 PM
I do not know all the facts in this case, but I do have some common sense. The story says Mr. Sadler was to have appeared in court for battery charges, which he did not. Therefore, there should have been a warrant for his arrest at the time of the 911 call. The news also said that the police did not respond to the first call, and showed up only after the call informing of the shooting; One hour and 6 minutes later, even though they had had problems w/ this individual before. Now, unless I am not aware of the police office being moved 70 miles away, one can safely assume that, after even 15 minutes, the police are not coming. Therefore, how can you be accused of taking the law into your own hands when the "law" had apparently opted out of the situation. The way it looks, Ms. Baker gave them at least 45 minutes longer than I would have given them. If someone were hurting my daughter, especially with these circumstances, there would probably have been no first call.
Posted by: anon on Feb 13, 2008 at 09:28 PM
Well...I hate to say this....I am a college graduate....a Christian woman....happily married...with 2 children and absolutely ZERO history of mental illness and NO criminal background what-so-ever....HOWEVER, I think this woman was doing what she thought she had to do to protect her family. Enough is enough and the legal system unfortunately fails to keep people safe all the time. Who knows the exact situation and the exact history, but I can tell you one thing....this would not have happened if the system had kept up its end of the deal and allowed these DVP to continue keeping the woman and the kids safe. This would not have happened and this boy would be alive, if the police had responded to the initial call. She was calling for help and when none came...she felt helpless and did what she had to do to keep her family safe. In this case, I pray for her to be found innocent. Because he has family in the system, though there will be no justice. Unfortunately, it will be guilty.
Posted by: Anonymous on Feb 13, 2008 at 08:56 PM
I FEEL SORRY FOR THIS WOMAN BECAUSE SHE DID WHAT EVERY MOTHER WOULD HAVE DONE,AND THATS PROTECT HER CHILD.I HAVE BEEN IN HER DAUGHTER'S SHOES BEFORE AND IT FELT LIKE THERE WAS NO WAY OUT FOR ME AS WELL. THERE WAS MOMENTS WHEN I THOUGHT IT WAS EITHER ME OR HIM. BUT I WAS FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO FIND ANOTHER WAY OUT.I ONLY HOPE THE HPD LOOKS AT HOW THEY HANDLE DOMESTIC VIOLENCE CASES. BECAUSE I AM PRETTY SURE THIS WASN'T THE FIRST TIME OR WOULD HAVE BEEN THE LAST IF IT WASN'T FOR HER MOTHER STEPPING IN. I AM SURE THERE IS SOMETHING MORE WE COULD DO FOR BATTERED WOMEN TO PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENNING AGAIN.
Posted by: J on Feb 13, 2008 at 08:27 PM
it's so sad that the police never do their jobs around here anymore... they're scared, and when you're scared to do a job, then you shouldn't be given that job in the first place... this woman called the police (that are supposed to protect and serve the community) and the lazy cops did nothing about it... I don't know about the rest of you but I'm sick of the police in Huntington... we call them and they never show up... instead they sit down by safety town and talk, or they sit at Jolly Pirate donuts... it's completely sickening... this woman protected her daughter and her grandchild.. she should be given an award and made the Mayor of Huntington... Im sure that she couldn't do any worse than that lazy bum, David Felinton...
Posted by: reader on Feb 13, 2008 at 08:06 PM
it is thanks to the HPD that this "so called man" is dead. why did granddaddy not help his great grandkids a LONG TIME AGO? place the blame where it belongs, not on a mother defending her child and grandchildren. what woman out there would of not done the SAME THING? me, I would of beat him to death the first time that he beat my daughter, that is what a real mother does.
Posted by: Cyndi on Feb 13, 2008 at 06:34 PM
Yet, another lack of concern by HPD about domestic violence, I don't know Mr. Black but the good ole boy system is in full force. If HPD had responded to the DV call then this may not be happening, HPD needs training on DV, the victim, women or men, are scared and sometimes it takes a couple of calls before the victim can follow through, until you live this situation don't judge...
Posted by: Doug on Feb 13, 2008 at 06:25 PM
The first time a man strikes a woman it is his fault. If she stays with him and it happens again it is as much her fault as his. Only cowards and losers hit women. If he failed to appear in court, why hadn't he been arrested. I'm not sure what is going on with the HPD but they are obviously having major issues. As citezens we have the right to protect ourselves as well as our family members because it is clear that authorities are overwhelmed. Ms. Baker taught Mr. Sadler a lesson that his family evidently failed to teach him, don't hit women or threaten to kill the mother of your children. If I had to chose between life in prison or burying one of my kids, I would have killed him too.
Posted by: Anonymous on Feb 13, 2008 at 05:28 PM
The attorneys for Ms. Baker decided to have the case heard before a Cabell County Magistrate and a Cabell County Prosecutor. Both offices indicated that that each would recuse themselves for cause. Her attorneys stated that they felt their client would get a fair un biased hearing and did not want a new magistrate or a new prosecutor to hear the matter. As far as whether this is a case of self-defense or pre-meditated murder, that is a decesion for a jury to make. It is important to note that Magistrate Black has not been involved in any way with any of the proceedings. To suggest otherwise, just confirms the bias that some against elected officals. Please remember that a young man lost his life, children have lost their father, and a family has lost a son. Ms. Baker did shot and kill this young man. Twelve people will determine what penalty, if any, she will face.

i got a dvp on my x he said that he would kill me and put me in a hole no one would fine me he came to the family law office on me and at my job they put him in jail he got back out he lost his kids for abuse i do not want to go out of the house
Posted by: Shelly on Feb 13, 2008 at 04:03 PM
My question is would the police have help this girl. As I see it.. It was left to the mother to defend her child and grandchildren. SAD there is that many people that cry wolf that lives end this way. Something is wrong with the system.
Posted by: COALGROVE on Feb 13, 2008 at 04:03 PM
SHE WAS ONLY HELPING HER DAUGHTER OUT JUST WISH THE CHILDREN WASNT IN THE HOME THAT IS WHERE THEY WILL GET HER. THE POLICE WONT HELP YOU. SO SHE TOOK IT UP IN HER OWN HANDS. SO PLEASE JUST GIVE THIS WOMAN PROBATION,TWO FAMILY HAVE BEEN HURT ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.
Posted by: Caring Mother on Feb 13, 2008 at 03:52 PM
When I heard the attorney say anyone in this room would have shot JS I'm thinking yes, I would have did it after my daughter took the first beating. I'll spend eternity in jail or wherever before I will ever tolerate anyone beating on my daughter. I don't know Teresa but I do stand behind you all the way. Drugs, Domestic Violence it all MUST END!!!!
Posted by: Anonymous on Feb 13, 2008 at 03:46 PM
I couldn't agree more with the first comment. This woman is being punished so severely because of who the victims grandfather is. Just another fact.. Jeff did not live at Alisons house. So Teresa didn't just walk in his residence like the story somewhat implies, and then shoot him. She was protecting her daughter. Jeff's not innocent in this, at all. And Teresa should not be charged with premeditating a murder when she was merely just protecting her daughter.
Posted by: Anonymous on Feb 13, 2008 at 03:41 PM
What im trying to understand is what made her shoot him??? He left her house. Was he hitting her daughter, or the kids at the time of the shooting. Or was it over and she was so distraught that she went over and shot him???
Posted by: Kentucky on Feb 13, 2008 at 03:10 PM
It is a shame that she will face the highest penalty simply because of whose grandchild this was, even though she had every right to protect her child. Mr Black runs huntington, and as a result a woman will spend the rest of her life in jail for protecting her family.

Sounds like a Mom protecting her child. Like any of us would. Too bad it got to this point.
