Appellate court denies appeals of two in Teddy Foltz murder

YOUNGSTOWN — The 7th District Court of Appeals this week denied appeals to the two people who pleaded guilty for their roles in the death of a 14-year-old Teddy Foltz of Struthers in 2013.

The appeals court ruled against Shain Widdersheim, 34, on Monday, and Zaryl Bush, 44, today.

Teddy died in January 2013, five days after a beating he received from Bush in front of one of his brothers. Both brothers were enlisted to help Bush try to cover up the crime.

The appellate court denied appeals by Widdersheim, Teddy’s mother, and Bush, her former boyfriend, who pleaded guilty to abusing and killing the teen.
