BROWARD COUNTY, FLORIDA - A South Florida sheriff’s office has fired six more deputies and disciplined 11 others for their handling of the case of Mary Gingles, a woman who investigators say was murdered by her estranged husband after she had warned officers for months that she feared he would kill her.
Two officers had previously been dismissed for their role in the case.
An internal investigation found that multiple Broward Sheriff’s Office deputies failed to properly investigate Gingles’ reports of domestic violence perpetrated by her husband, Nathan Gingles, before he allegedly carried out the triple homicide of his wife, her father, David Ponzer, and her neighbor Andrew Ferrin, as the Gingles’ four-year-old daughter begged her father to stop.
Nathan Gingles allegedly carried out the triple homicide of his wife, Mary Gingles, her father, David Ponzer, and her neighbor Andrew Ferrin.
“We had multiple opportunities to protect Mary during the months preceding her death when she alerted us to the domestic violence she was experiencing,” Broward Sheriff Gregory Tony admitted.
If convicted, he could face the death penalty.
The killings — despite Mary Gingles’ repeated pleas for help — have shaken the South Florida community of Tamarac and ignited fresh scrutiny of officers’ failure to use the state’s red flag law to remove firearms from a person deemed a danger to themselves or others.
