Sherre Gilbert’s mother, Mari Gilbert
Mari Gilbert is an American activist and murder victim advocate. Gilbert was an advocate for her daughter, Shannan, a 24- 24-year-old woman from New Jersey who disappeared in May 2010. The investigation of Shannan’s disappearance led to the discovery of the remains of 10 homicide victims scattered along Ocean Parkway in New York.
Investigators believed that Shannan died of an accidental drowning that was unrelated to the crimes of the Long Island serial killer. Still, Gilbert challenged the finding and fought to have the case reopened as a murder investigation. An independent autopsy sought by Gilbert’s family found that Shannan may have been strangled to death. Gilbert and her other daughters, Sarra and Sherre, frequently appeared on television shows discussing the case.
Gilbert was stabbed to death by her 27-year-old daughter Sarra in Sarra’s apartment building on Warren Street in Ellenville, New York, on July 23, 2016. Her daughter suffered from schizophrenia, with one report claiming that she “had voices in her head telling her to carry out the crime. On the morning of July 23, 2016, Sarra, after a sleepless night, texted Sherre to say she was hearing voices again.
Sherre told her sister to call 911, or at least to call her mom for help. Unwilling to return to the hospital, Sarra called Mari, who said she was coming right over. But sometime between the end of that call and Mari’s arrival, Sarra became convinced that Mari wasn’t coming to help her. She grabbed a 15-inch kitchen knife she’d bought at Kmart and placed it beside her on the sofa, under a pillow. She also placed a fire extinguisher within reach. Then she waited. She first stabbed Mari in the chest.
Mari tried to stand. Sarra kept stabbing. Mari grunted for her daughter to stop, then bent over, fell to the floor, and tried to inch under a coffee table to protect herself. Sarra pulled Mari out from under the table, sat on top of her, and kept stabbing, aiming for Mari’s heart, lungs, midsection, everywhere where Sarra thought it would be lethal. Mari’s phone buzzed.
It was Sherre. Sarra shut off the phone. Then she picked up the fire extinguisher and struck Mari in the head, more than once. Sarra became convinced Mari was still breathing, and so she sprayed the extinguisher into Mari’s mouth, too, trying to drown her. Then she stabbed at Mari’s neck, perhaps trying to decapitate her, though she was most certainly dead by then.
