WARNING: GRAPHIC DETAILS

A father has been found guilty of murder after his adopted son was found dead inside a washing machine.

Jemaine Thomas, 45, has been sentenced to 50 years behind bars after he pleaded guilty to the murder of his seven-year-old adopted son, Troy Koehler.

Troy was reported missing by Jemaine and his wife Tiffany Thomas at 5.20 am on July 28, 2022.

When officers arrived at their home in Houston, Texas, they interviewed the pair about their missing son, who was last seen inside their house the night before.

Lieutenant Robert Minchew said that “things” the officers observed while in the house led them to search it thoroughly.

Then they made a grim discovery. Troy was found dead, fully clothed, and shoved in a top loading washing machine in the garage.
