A Twin City woman, convicted of murdering her mother in law and concealing the homicide, was sentenced Friday to 55 years in prison. Misook Nowlin, also known as Missok Wang received 50 years for the murder and 5 years for concealing the homicide. Nowlin was convicted in December of the 2011 crime in which Linda Tyda was killed and buried in a forest preserve in Will County. Prosecutors claim Nowlin lured the 70 year old victim to Bloomington under a phony request for translation services. Nowlin claimed she acted in self defense but medical evidence indicated Tyda was strangled.
Chris Ross, cousin of Barton McNeil, lives in San Diego and is an unwavering advocate for his innocence. For thirteen years there were no breaks to reverse the fate that had befallen a loving father no person can imagine. Then in September 2011 his violent estranged girlfriend Misook Nowlin Wang, always the known second leading suspect in his daughter’s 1998 murder, returned to Bloomington and strangled to death her mother-in-law in a macabre premediated murder. A murder in which she buried her mother-in-law at a post-midnight hour in the presence of her 5-year-old son. She exacted revenge against her husband Don Wang for having an extramarital affair just as she avenged Barton 13 years earlier for breaking up with her leaving her the classic woman scorned.
