In this episode of Crime Watch Daily Updates: Anjelica “AJ” Hadsell was back in Norfolk, Virginia, for spring break when she disappeared March 3, 2015. She was reported missing March 5, and eventually found in a drainage ditch at an abandoned home five weeks later. Her body was covered by plywood near a shed on the property.
The medical examiner determined AJ died from acute heroin poisoning and homicidal violence. She reportedly had three times the lethal amount of heroin in her system.
Her stepfather, Wesley Hadsell, was arrested and charged in connection with her murder. Investigators found a shovel, gloves, duct tape, and GPS in his car that linked him to the murder scene. The address of the abandoned home where she was found had even been programmed in the GPS.
Wesley Hadsell initially went on trial in 2020, but the judge declared a mistrial because attorneys for the two sides reportedly could not agree on evidence to show to the jury. He went back on trial in February 2022. His attorneys argued she committed suicide with headache medicine, but prosecutors said during the trial, “He abused her, he beat her, and then he poisoned her with heroin.”
Hadsell was convicted of first-degree murder and concealment of a corpse. The jury reached their verdict in just 40 minutes.
In April 2022, Wesley Hadsell was sentenced to life plus 15 years in prison for AJ’s death.
Let’s take a look back at the unfortunate death of a young woman who was poisoned by a member of her own family.
Crocodile tears he was crying

"He just wants to know what happened to his daughter." He knows what happen he murdered her.

This sounds like a heartbreaking murder case, the girl died too early in life. 😢

I remember the jacket part
When my daughter was younger I stay single and I am glad I did.
He bust’s out a pathetic rhyme?
You sitting there letting everything she had a chance of being alive when you know that you killed her immediately after you got done doing whatever God knows what you've done to that poor baby he's a piece of crap
Now that really takes a sick twisted individual to do what he's done I hope he got the death penalty
Bit curious y did he want to kill her?did he have affair with her or did she want to break up him and mom?,like no explanation of why he wud kill her??
Where was her Mother while this was happening?
Such a beautiful young lady with so much potential. This isn't the first case where a Step Dad committed horrible atrocities against a Child…a Child in their care. Hope the truth is found.
So he obsessed over her and loved her and tried to maybe get with her through using drugs or he shot her up to take advantage of her and she died .so sad she doesn't look like she used drugs some don't though and I've heard of step parent and kids using drugs together
This is why I do not date while divorced and raising my twin son teens . I can when they are older if I want , my job is to be their Mother .
How could this moNster avoid the death penalty? I’ve never understood VA’s upside down approach to justice.
Why would he do that?
Her mom is partially to blame. 😢
His mother is disgusting 🤮😡💩
God!! She never had a chance!! People who destroy the lives of our young are going to have to answer to God!!
He is our judge! Boy he's going to be busy!! These insecure women bringing criminals into your home never ends well!
No he’s lying
