Beth Ann Pheasant, a 37-year-old white female from Christopher, Illinois, tragically passed away on October 31, 2016. Beth was born on June 18, 1979, in Urbana, Illinois, and worked as a registered nurse at the VA Hospital in Marion, Illinois. She was survived by her parents, Larry and Alice Wyskiel, and her children, Makaylah, Shelby, Riley, Hannah, Daymon, and Drew Pheasant.
The circumstances surrounding Beth Ann Pheasant's death were deeply distressing.
On the night of October 31, 2016, she was found deceased at her home in Christopher, Illinois. The investigation revealed that Beth, a 37-year-old white female, had been shot. Her husband, Brian Pheasant, was subsequently arrested and charged with her murder. Prosecutors alleged that Brian Pheasant killed his wife shortly after discovering she was having an affair. The case went to trial, and a Franklin County jury convicted Brian Pheasant of first-degree murder.
In September 2018, Brian Pheasant was sentenced to 67 years in prison for the murder of his wife, Beth Ann Pheasant. The court mandated that he serve 100 percent of his sentence, meaning he would be 113 years old before he could be eligible for release. This conviction and sentencing brought some measure of justice for the tragic loss of Beth Ann Pheasant, a 37-year-old white female whose life was cut short in such a violent manner.
