The Internet has been buzzing about the name of Chris Coleman’s girlfriend, Tara Lintz for some time now, but today, it has been released into the mainstream media. Reports have surfaced, including search warrants  that shows that Chris Coleman had told Tara Lintz that he was planning to divorce his wife, Sheri Coleman and that the two were planning on being married in 2010. (Read the reports here: warning they containg graphic language)The reports also state that Coleman had told Tara Lintz that he had an alibi for the murders, he had spoke with her the evening prior to the strangulations.

Tara Lintz was a high school friend of Sheri Coleman’s as well as the Coleman family. It has been alleged that during ministry trips for Joyce Meyer, Chris Coleman would visit with Tara Lintz on the side. Reports state that their relationship became sexual in November 2008, just two months before the first ‘threatening’ letters surfaced at the home of Chris Coleman, and six months prior to the fateful morning of May 5, 2009, where Sheri Coleman, Garret Coleman, and Gavin Coleman met their traumatic fate while being strangled to death in their beds.

The reports also revealed that items seized during a search of the home include a receipt from Home Depot purchased July 29, 2008 that was for spray paint; a cassette tape was seized from a home surveillance system, as well as a boarding pass for American Airlines. It has been reported that Tara Lintz and Chris Coleman communicated through cell phone, E-Mail, and social networking sites such as Facebook (Tara Lintz’ Facebook account has been closed for several weeks now); after the murders, Chris Coleman allegedly opened a new Email account to communicate with Tara. Once she received the E-mail, reports state that she spoke with detectives and has been cooperative with detectives regarding the case. Other items seized from the home include:

  • Four bales of hay
  • Orange twine that was found behind the home, wrapped around the bales of hay; orange twine was found knotted, in the shape of a noose alongside I-255
  • Two threatening letters, one dated January 1, 2009 the other dated April 27, 2009 just eight days before the murders.

Sheri Coleman was found naked in her bed, when police answered a ‘welfare check’ call placed by her husband, Chris Coleman. Medical records state that rigor mortis had already set in her body, which signifies that the time of death was placed between 3:00 a.m. and 5:00 a.m. Much earlier than the time that Chris Coleman states that he left the home for a workout at a local gym. Chris Coleman has been charged with three counts of murder in the first degree and is being held without bond.

    What a good friend Sheri had in Tara Lintz.

    Hope Tara's life is ruined. She should be a poster child for the "other" women out there. I know it takes two to tango, but really, get your own guy. What a cheap person you have to be to go after a "friends" husband.

    I don't know how the woman is going to be able to live with herself.... a mother and two beautiful children dead because of this affair!

    Tara Lintz had a lifestyle of working as a stripper plus she liked to have affairs with married men.

    as for looks, she is a 0 compared to Sheri Cokenman.

    as for being a stripper, it pays fantastic money. but at the same time, strippers are freaks

    men get ripped for playing around. this woman, Lintz went to school with the dead woman and was her supposedly best friend.

    She'll be called as a prosecution witness. Hope she goes full Whore. She's being called one anyway, might as well look like something a guy would erase his family for. No money in playing the Romantic Innocent--Howard Stern might be calling, Tara, keep your belly tucked and chest out! Toss those curls!

    A sleazy skank deserves a cold-blooded murderer for a boyfriend. Hope this woman is haunted by what happened and hunted by the press.

    TOM: How is cheating with your friends husband worse than cheating with your wifes friend? To me, both are the same....equally pathetic. At least SHE didn't murder anyone.

    Tara Lintz should be arrested also. Women like her are skanks and a dime a dozen. Pretending to be the wife's friend, screwing her husband, planning on marrying him,,, overlooking that there is an entire family involved. This cheap slut stripper should ashamed of herself. She seriously makes me want to vomit.

    She can't be arrested, it's not a crime being a skank and a homewrecker.

    Tom, what part of my comment was kind? Stating she didn't murder anyone....she didn't! Court documents released state she had no idea and willingly helped police. Granted, she is a low-down, POS but she is not a murderer.

    I hope he's repeatedly raped in jail, and every time he's penetrated by another man, he'll think of the moment he killed his family.

  • MISSY 2 years ago

    Did I miss something somewhere? In what report did they say that he killed his wife and sons because of the affair? I know he was having an affair, but when did they say that was the MOTIVE for the murders? They have not released all the information, so therefore, we should not be judging right at the moment...isn't that Gods job, to do the judging? Think before you speak people...who cares about this other woman, a Mother and her two sons are dead...wth? Who cares about her or what kind of life she is going to have, what about he life those children are NEVER going to have...Its the scandal that has you people going, not the actual murders.
