AMADOR COUNTY — When chasing a phallus goes tragically wrong. Law enforcement officials at the Mule Creek State Prison are under fire after inmate David Brinson, 54, asphyxiated his lonely wife, 62-year-old Stephanie Dowells, during a conjugal visit. The femicide transpired on prison grounds around 2 a.m. on November 13, 2024. According to multiple reports, David — a quadruple-murderer serving a life sentence — was clappin’ Stephanie’s cheeks in a secluded area when he choked her as a wanton act of sadism. Only problem is Stephanie blacked out and never regained consciousness. Realizing he f*cked up, David used the visitor’s phone in the common area to alert the guards — claiming Stephanie passed out on her own. Paramedics rushed to her aid and performed CPR. But it was to no avail. Granny was pronounced dead around 3 a.m.

While conducting the autopsy, coroners learned Stephanie didn’t just pass out.

She was strangled.

As previously mentioned, David is already serving life without parole.

So another sentence means diddly squat.

Family members are pissed.

“How could they just let this happen? I just don’t get it,” Stephanie’s son, Armond Torres, told reporters.

“My mom was just left alone, and she called for help, I’m sure, and there’s nothing she could do. Given the history that this guy has, we kind of wanted to know how is it even possible for them to be unsupervised?”

The California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) said conjugal visits transpire “in private, apartment-like facilities on prison grounds.” They typically last 30 to 40 hours, there’s no cameras, and the prisoner is required to “present themselves” to authorities at least 4 times within a 24-hour span. Corrections officers do, however, have the autonomy to barge in unannounced but “every effort shall be made to ensure the privacy of the inmate and their visitor(s).”

Relatives said Stephanie ignored a million red flags 🚩🚩🚩, thinking she could fix David.

“They would read the Bible together,” recalled Nataly Jimenez, Stephanie’s daughter-in-law.

“He was in school in there because she was pushing him to try to be this better person.”

Oveta Wilson, Stephanie’s mom, echoed a homogeneous sentiment.

“She was the most giving, kindhearted person,” she said.

“I would often tell her, ‘Sweetheart, you can’t save the world.’”

Social media reaction was cold-blooded.

One commenter wrote, “I can’t imagine being in my 60s and going to prison to crawl in bed with a murderer🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️.”

Another person added, “Why do people think that someone who killed someone won’t kill you?”

Stephanie was a hairstylist and business owner.

She’s the second woman at Mule Creek to be murdered during an overnight visit.

Tania Thomas, 47, was also strangled by a convicted murderer.

Stephanie is survived by her two sons and a tribe of grandchildren.

  1. Omg this is so sad😢she probably was everything for everybody else, an just wanted somebody for her….she is beautiful an seems like she was a sweet woman who just wanted people to be happy even if its at the expense of her happiness; hope she made it to heaven safely❤❤❤

  2. I was a correctional lieutenant for 20 years. You’d be surprised how many silly whimsical women fall for these felons. Inmates brag at how they have someone on the outside to send money to them. She had some type of mental issues to seek out someone on the inside when she see established law-abiding men allday.

  3. She’s like “I’ve found someone new I’m ending it” and he was like “No.”

  4. Taxpayers paying for these criminals to have conjugal visits and sex is RIDICULOUS!

  5. She went to visit a MONSTER….what did yall expect???? What did she expect???

  6. How could this happen inside the prison? Really? What could they have done about it? Are they supposed to watch them having SEX?

  7. Jails are where most demons have their beds. Why on earth would I go get a known demon to marry. Family should mourn quietly. The prison is not at fault. What could be done is for desperate women to stay away from monsters Like this man. Jail should not be a place to look for a husband.

  8. Please people understand… GOD does NOT pick your mate for you. Neither does he directly speak to us anymore. He speaks through his word the Bible. He gives us discernment, wisdom, & common sense. I’m sorry for the family. I can’t imagine how devastated they are. She went against all their advice. Thinking GOD told her to be more accepting! GOD is all about forgiveness, but even he says that people will reap what they sowed. This man killed 4 people! Even he was repentant he was in prison for life! Why marry him. He was reaping what he sowed. Now a beautiful, intelligent, fun loving, kindhearted, woman, mother, grandmother is gone. All because she thought GOD had spoken to her. Remember the Devil is also real. Being mad with the prison system isn’t where the anger should be placed. She was a 62yr old woman who made the decision to put her life in danger. And it’s sad. Not sure why she was so desperate.

  9. Where are the good men at they be asking, but be giving their time to the worst of men.

  10. Dont marry a murderer. And dont have sex visits with murderers. Whats wrong with these women???

  11. My question is why was she still married to the man.
    He has four lifetimes sentences.
    He’s never getting out so what benefit is he to you.
    I don’t know what happened but there’s only two people in the room and one came out and one didn’t.
    What does he have to lose he already has four life sentences what’s another life sentence.
    Me personally I would have never went to go see him let alone still be married to him.

  12. The jailbird dude got crazy eyes.
    Ain’t no way in heeeeeelllllllllll…
    Literally, no way.

  13. Not being mean but the family should be wondering why she would choose to be alone with a murderer , even if the staff had checked on them 4 times in that 24 hour period he would’ve just strangled her when they left, very sad that this woman had no safety awareness or concerns, he wasn’t incarcerated for playing tiddlywinks

  14. I swear all these women with a future are obsessed with Pookie 🙄

  15. I’m not sure what planet she’s been living on but my big sister is her age, and those Divas Anthem was “Ain’t Nothing Going On But The Rent…Gotta Have A Job If You Wanna Be With Me!” Jailbirds or Felons were not considered…RIP and may the living take note!

  16. I’m sorry for her death and all, but she shouldn’t have continued dealing with this dude considering the horrendous crimes that he had committed. Face it, she chose to go and see a homicidal guy and met her demise after getting bussed down.

  17. Oh, pookie will get justice from his other inmates because he will be the one responsible for them stopping conjugal visits.

  18. So nigga just killing to kill i dont understand the goofy shit humans do

    Also her going was goofy

  19. So they go from not wanting to settle with a decent man to paying for a pookie? Smh. And she was smart and educated.

  20. She married a man that was in prison for heinous crimes? She couldn’t find a walmart greeter that didnt have a criminal record? BW love them some pookies

  21. If you fall in love with Jesus, he’ll send a four time killer who is serving 4 life sentences… plus 20 years. 😳 She was lonely, vulnerable and motivated by lust disguised as God. Possibly some mental health issues. She seemed to have a good heart. It’s unfortunate this happened to her.

  22. She was really gorgeous 🥺🥺 I hate that she became another tally on his list of victims .. I wish God would have granted her discernment and realize that ain’t it ! I hate she had to be the one But hopefully 🙏🏾 things will change so something like this never happens again ! My condolences to the family 😢

  23. She got what she was looking for. Definitely too old to be bouncing around a prison yard.

  24. So sad and scary! How could you trust Anyone Who Has Murdered others? Plus, there is no chance of freedom for him. Seems like her joy & freedom disturbed him he had nothing to lose. Scary!!!

  25. You can tell she never grew up mentally…starving for attention at her age is very sad..

  26. This is beyond sad. She didn’t have the self awareness and care for herself. She was a lovely woman why would you spend your time in a prison environment? Let me see, you go for the conjugal visit and then go back to your wonderful life outside of the prison. A no ! She was into the dysfunctional state it creates. She needed to do the work. Something was wrong with her without a doubt. It makes me sad when women walk in a path that disrespects their value, beauty, intelligence and existence. He was a convicted murderer. She had no business having anything to do with this savage. 😢

  27. So she chose to marry a straight up murderer who will never get out of prison, when she could have met someone in church. WTF!!!

  28. Seems like she liked, what my grandma would call, “fixer-uppers”.. some woman and men like falling for broken or not super well put together folks with the idea of “fixing them”. They have savior complexes. They fall in love with the possible potential of a person, vs that actual person. Sad. Stephanie was gorgeous 😍
