British mother is engaged to US prisoner serving 40 years for murder she’s never met

A British mother who has never met the fiancé she agreed to marry two months after first reading his ‘beautiful’ letters and poetry is planning their wedding next year 3,560 miles away in a US prison where he is serving between 20 and 40 years for his part in a brutal murder.

Laura O’Sullivan, 32, has known Terrell Ravon Reese, 31, since last October, when she used the JPay app for prisoners to find a pen pal – leading to a whirlwind romance.

Terrell was convicted for his part in the murder of Justin Solomon, 19, in Detroit, Michigan, on August 1, 2009. 

The couple fell in love within weeks ‘meeting’ and are looking forward to their wedding, which is due to take place next year. 

Meanwhile, they keep the flame alive with letters, presents and phone sex, Laura revealed.
