Bill McCallister - The murder of Taylor Anne McCallister

Jul 31, 2023

The McCallisters have received, to date, no justice in the murder of their daughter. They talk to Ed Opperman about the struggle to get some sort of balance of justice for the loss of their daughter and a real, punitive sentence for her killer.

Taylor Anne McAllister was killed.

At least, that's what the Pinellas-Pasco Medical Examiner's Office determined. Her body was found dumped in an alley in St. Petersburg two years ago Saturday. The 22-year-old woman died of asphyxia, according to her autopsy. Officials ruled it a homicide.

But there are no murder charges. No manslaughter charges. The only charges related to her killing are three counts of failing to report a death. That's what Robert Butler III and Quran Archer pleaded guilty to on Friday. For McAllister's parent's, Bill and Leslie McAllister, it's a thin reckoning for their daughter's killing.
