Toniann White Obituary, Death – A 19-year-old son of a Sampson County mother received a text message on Saturday night telling him that his father was not happy and that he shouldn’t return home. When her son got to the house early on Sunday morning, he found the bodies of his deceased stepfather and mother. An apparent murder-suicide, according to Sampson County deputies, has left a mother of two dead.
Her family members, who have identified her as Toni Ann White, claim that she had just warned her son not to come to the residence due to the hazards that were present. On Saturday night, White sent her 19-year-old son a text message explaining that her husband was not happy and that he should not go back home. Her son arrived to the residence as early as Sunday morning and found the bodies of her mother and stepfather. The incident, according to the Sampson County Sheriff’s Office, is a murder-suicide.
Joseph Salentino, her former spouse, said that “no one should find someone they love in that way.” Salentino is now speaking out about her horrible demise and asserting that not enough is being done to safeguard those who have suffered domestic abuse. He feels that more resources like InterAct that can connect people to the help they need should be available. From his perspective, his former spouse was a fantastic mother who consistently considered what was best for their sons. He stated that “She was an excellent mother.” “She was always there for her kids.”
He alleges that White’s spouse mistreated her physically and psychologically, and that she even brought legal action against him before withdrawing it due to her failure to show up for court. It is my opinion that there are people—men and women alike—who are afraid to speak up. He asserted that some of them are reluctant to voice their opinions. “The police are the only ones who can advocate for them.”
