He was an only child and never married. Described by The Arizona Republic as "disabled" the following update was published in The Republic on August 8, 2009: "Police ID Body Found Burning in Trash Bin": A man whose dismembered body was found in a burning garbage container has been identified as Terry Neely. Phoenix police said Neely, 46, was seen leaving an assisted-living facility in his wheelchair about 8 p.m. Sunday. His body was found Wednesday and identified through fingerprints." Angela Simpson, a 23-year-old woman from Phoenix, Arizona, was indicted by a grand jury for first-degree murder in the death of 46-year-old Terry Neely. The victim's dismembered and burned remains were found in a trash container behind a Christian fellowship church by firefighters on August 5, 2009. Simpson reportedly beat Neely for three days, stabbed him about 50 times, pulled out his teeth, hammered a 3-inch nail into his skull, strangled him with a coaxial cable, and burned his remains. Police say that Simpson believed Neely was "a snitch." She has expressed no remorse, and in a jailhouse interview, she claimed to have killed others in the past, which police have not confirmed. Simpson was later convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to the remainder of her natural life plus fourteen years.
