CHELSEA RICHARDSON
There are many motives for murder whether it is revenge, love, or money. Sometimes people just kill other people for the sheer pleasure of it, according to their statements when they are caught. It is the ones that kill for money that often have the most intricate conspiracies attached to them, the most ‘flawless’ of plans, and they are also the ones that often find themselves caught. This is a story of love, money, conspiracy, and murder out of Mansfield, Texas. It is a murder that made headlines of Tarrant County and one people will not be quick to forget.
In The Beginning
Chelsea Lea Richardson was born March 26 1984. She came from a regular working class family and grew up in a working class neighbourhood in Tarrant County, Texas. She had a regular childhood if one that was a little strained. Her father, an ironworker and former marine, had died young and her mother had worked constantly to make ends meet for the two children.
Chelsea was a social person. She would go to the IHOP with her brother and sit for hours while he played Yu-Gi-Oh with his friends. She would chat and waste away the hours. She had never cared for the card game, but being at the IHOP was better than being at home. And it was through this connection that she first met Andrew Wamsley.
Andrew Wamsley was born July 7, 1984 and was the second child of Rick and Suzanna Wamsley, a wealthy, upper class family in Tarrant County, Texas. He’d had a life with every comfort possible. It was a life that was a great contrast to the one Chelsea had lived and perhaps that was what drew her to him. His parents had been strict, but they had ensured that their entire world revolved around their children. And in doing so, they had isolated them from the world, from people outside of their high-class social group, and from those that they didn’t approve of.
Chelsea and Andrew began a relationship in January 2003 despite their differences, or perhaps because of them. They began to spend a great deal of time out at Ruth Brustrom’s house. Ruth, whose husband had been like a second father to Chelsea, was glad to have the company. She said, Andrew seemed like a real sweet kid. The best guy she’d brought out here. He seemed real honest.
They liked the laid-back atmosphere out at the Brustrom place. There was no need to be anything other than what they wanted to be out there. It was a nice, secluded piece of country property filled with possibilities.
Still, reality can’t sit in the background forever. Chelsea, without the wealth behind her and luxury that Andrew has, needs to look for a job and consider her future. However, she shows no real ambition towards going through with any sort of career options. Andrew is equally unambitious. Despite being enrolled in college, he rarely attended classes.
Chelsea and Andrew were looking for simple solutions in life. For Andrew, perhaps it was because everything had always been handed to him. For Chelsea, perhaps it was because she had struggled for everything in her life already and she was desperate for a break. Regardless of the reason, the need to cut corners appeared early in their relationship.
Not As They Appear
Families that have a great deal of money and status tend to also have a great deal of familial issues; they just are better at sweeping them under the rug than the rest of the world. The Wamsley’s were no exception to this rule. And their greatest issues came from their eldest child, Sarah Wamsley.
The family harboured a deep suspicion of people outside of their social circle and this is a belief that they worked hard to instill in their children. The mother, Suzy Wamsley, was raised in the Church of Christ but she carried none of the religious moorings with her into her family life despite taking all of the religious structure with her.
She taught her children to believe that people were only nice to them for their own reasons
. And this continued the suspicious nature. Sarah suffered more at the hands of this rhetoric than Andrew, and the outcomes were detrimental to her overall growth as an individual.
The Wamsley’s had constant problems with their daughter Sarah. They considered her to be a rebellious teen and were always seeking a solution to this issue. If they could find a pill to fix her they would, but it seemed that her problems were there to stay.
Andrew admitted to fighting constantly with his sister and not having a stable relationship with his parents in one of his many conversations with Ruth Brustrom. His parents sent Sarah to a psychiatric facility when she was sixteen in hopes of dealing with the problem
that was her rebellious nature.
Sarah was diagnosed with bipolar disorder and weeks before Sarah was to graduate high school, the Wamsley’s kicked her out of the house. They tossed her belongings on the front lawn and left her on her own. They’d had enough of her rebellion
and enough of her mood swings
. This was in 1997.
Sarah’s life didn’t improve from that point on. She had a child with the man she moved in with after her parent’s kicked her out. She lost custody of her daughter and went into a depressive spiral where she even tried to kill herself. She now lives with her paternal grandparents in Oklahoma.
Andrew continued to have a strained relationship with his parents, particularly his father. Friends of the family said that Andrew was a spoiled, immature, and impulsive child. They had quite often witness instances where Andrew had displayed violent behaviour or outbursts that seemed quite irrational.
Andrew would quite often say that he hated his father and that he didn’t agree with the way his father wanted him to live his life. With one child having so obviously failed the family, it was not surprising that the Wamsley’s would put pressure on Andrew to make
