Esther Brown made it clear to the Virginia Parole Board that she never wanted her surrogate granddaughterâs killer to be released from prison.
Gwendolyn âAngelâ Thomas was just 17 and four months pregnant with the child of Hugh Joseph Brown, 27, when he fatally shot her in York County in 1992 and set her body on fire. In his confession, Brown said he was afraid he would shame his family by having a child out of wedlock. He had sex with her before he killed her, and testified that her last words were that she loved him.
