The latest episode of Murder In The Heartland on Investigation Discovery spotlights the case of 69-year-old MaryAnn Clibbery, who was brutally murdered by George H. Hansen.

As Clibbery, of Rockford, Illinois, was getting ready to leave Al Zullo Remodeling Specialists in Loves Park, a business she co-owned with Hansen, on December 21, 2004, she was attacked from behind and beaten to death with a hammer.

The following day, Hansen and an employee discovered Clibbery’s bloodied body in the back hallway and immediately alerted police.

Three days later on December 23, investigators found a bag on the frozen Rock River. Inside were Clibbery’s purse, gloves, a sweater, and the murder weapon.

Public defender Frank Perri stated that Hansen put the evidence inside a bag and threw it over the Bridge Street bridge in Roscoe, not realizing the river was frozen.

Officials said they believe Hansen murdered Clibbery because she confronted him about stealing money from their business.

Although Hansen denied killing his business partner of five years, DNA evidence linked him to the murder. He was arrested at his home and charged with first-degree murder and booked into the Winnebago County Jail.

We live in a very sick society, because humans are the most voracious arrogant narcissistic predators on the Planet. We destroy all the homes of all other species with total impunity and kill them by the hundreds of trillions every year (I include Insects, Rodents, Slaughter Animals and Forest Animals. We burn their Forests, eat their Flesh and Blood and then cry about OUR lost loved ones when they die by murder or from disease caused by eating the Flesh and Blood of other enslaved tortured and mutilated Animals.
Most Humans never think of all the suffering and death we cause other species because we are so selfish, consumed with ourselves, and brainwashed by TV News, TV Ads, Hollywood Crap, and Newspaper – Radio TV Biased News.
I stopped eating the Flesh and Blood of ALL other Animals many years ago because I knew by eating Animals I was causing much pain, suffering and death to other beings: It was one of the very best improvements I ever made in my life next to my internationally awarded healthcare practice for Humans and separate state authorized Animal Care Practice.
I decided many years ago that I would work to stop the suffering of ALL other species so I developed a line of Plant Protein Plant Oil Pet foods called Evolution Diet.
With a inspiration and a business loan form my Dad, I started a pet food co. that changed the World for the better. Evolution Diet is Plant Based Cat – Dog Foods are made in the U.S. and sold all over the U.S., Canada, Taiwan, Central China, Hong Kong, Japan and Europe.
The brainchild for which I have won so many awards was and is nutrient botanical compounds for cancers and organ failures and Evolution Diet Plant Protein Pet Foods.
My greatest motivation is keep making a kinder healthier World for ALL WHO LIVE and not just myself of my family members. This is the reason I wake up every day what keeps me going. I have very little time to think about my own needs because I am so busy helping ALL OTHERS.
NOW more than ever we need to think about helping other species in any way that we can, because Humans are making them disappear at catastrophic levels never before seen like the fires in S. America and the Western U.S..
I work to save ALL LIVES in my 2 healthcare practices, my Plant Based Eating Habits (Vegan), with our Plant Based Evolution Organic Pet Food Products and a small Animal Sanctuary that I have run for over 20 Years.
Like I said I do not have time to feel sorry for myself: I am too busy helping ALL Others and I hope you will too.
