56 year old “Salt Life” co-founder gets 12 years for killing teen girlfriend

NY POST: A co-founder of the clothing company Salt Life was sentenced to 12 years in prison Thursday after pleading guilty to fatally shooting his teenage girlfriend — before leaving her body to decompose in a Florida hotel.

Michael Hutto, 56, entered the guilty plea in Florida on Thursday, accepting responsibility for the killing of 18-year-old Lora Grace Duncan at the Hilton Singer Island oceanfront resort in October 2020.

He claimed he accidentally gunned down the teenager during a mock shooting game, reported the station WPTV.

Hutto was later arrested in his hometown of Jacksonville, 280 miles from the crime scene, after fleeing.

According to a probable cause affidavit, Duncan’s father had called the police and requested a welfare check after not hearing from his daughter for several days.

The dad used an app to track his daughter’s cellphone to the Hilton hotel, where police arrived to discover her blood-soaked, decomposing body with a gunshot wound to the stomach. more here

  1. “decomposing body with a gunshot wound to the stomach.”

    This whole thing stinks like bad tuna. Shot in the stomach. Death was not instantaneous. In fact it coud have taken her several hours to die. And this piece of shit just let her lay there and bleed out?

    18 year old girl, 56 year old boy friend and dads OK with that? This poor girl never had a chance.

  2. Daddy issues are probably what got this young woman caught in a death trap. She’s “dating” a man who’s old enough to be her grandfather.
    The 56 year old psycho was more than likely acting out a fetish fantasy he could no longer suppress. Hope he never gets out of prison or gets the death penalty.

  3. The perp must have been a sugar daddy and her dad was getting his cut.

    We stayed at a Hilton extended stay hotel and it was a dump. You never knew if the elevator would get you to the next floor or not. House keeping was only available every three days — then only if you requested it. We saw a table by the elevator with a bunch of pizza boxes one morning (the garbage cans were full). They were still there that night — and the garbage cans were still full.

    Just like many old, big companies, they expect you to be impressed by the name and not care if the product is awful.

    Not much dad could do about it,she was 18. My parents couldn’t control me when I was 16, let alone 18.

    A lot of $$$$$ must have changed Hands to only get 12 Years.
