Marilyn Clarke-Bevins, a 60-year-old woman from Coral Springs, Florida, passed away unexpectedly on October 27, 2015. Born in London, Ontario, Canada, she was a dedicated respiratory therapist who had worked in the field for 35 years, most recently with Broward Health. Marilyn was known for her love of gardening, particularly orchids, and her fondness for traveling, especially to Paris. She was deeply cherished by her family, including her husband Michael Bevins, her children Anthony Bianchi, Bradley Dorman, and Kaley Bevins, and her grandchildren.
Tragically, Marilyn's death was not due to natural causes. She was found shot to death in her Coral Springs home. The investigation quickly led to the arrest of her son, Bradley Clarke Dorman, who was 31 years old at the time. Dorman was apprehended at Palm Beach International Airport as he attempted to board a flight to New York City with a one-way ticket. He was charged with second-degree murder. According to police reports, Dorman had broken into his mother's home around 4 a.m. and shot her while she was sleeping. The motive behind the murder remains unclear, but investigators noted that Dorman's suspicious behavior, such as not responding to his siblings' calls and skipping his mother's funeral, raised red flags.
The case against Bradley Clarke Dorman proceeded with him being held without bond. The arrest and subsequent legal proceedings added a layer of complexity to the family's grieving process. Marilyn's death and the circumstances surrounding it left a profound impact on her family and the Coral Springs community. The legal journey for justice in her case highlighted the tragic intersection of familial relationships and violent crime.
