Slain TikTok influencer’s ex begged for years to leave husband she outed as accused pedophile

TikTok influencer Sara Gilson’s boyfriend had pleaded with her to cut ties with her estranged husband before authorities say he killed her.

Gilson, also known as Sara Duffey, made a post several weeks ago alleging her husband was a pedophile. Police in Owasso, Oklahoma, responded to a report of a domestic violence incident and found both Sara Duffey and Jeremiah Shawn Duffey dead, according to KTUL. The incident is being investigated as a murder-suicide.

A child inside the house called 911 and told the dispatcher “his step-father had shot his mother.”

Prior to being found dead, Sara Duffey made a TikTok on July 11 that was captioned, “Preparing for when Netflix drops a documentary about my soon to be ex husband who I just found out is a pedophile.”

Lyle Landers, Sara Duffey’s ex-husband, told People he had “begged” her to leave him.

“She had been stuck in a relationship where domestic abuse seemed ‘OK’ ” Landers said. “I had begged her for five years to get away from him. I had offered to help her, in any way I could, to get away from him. But he seemed to have some sort of control over her, and she couldn’t seem to get away.”
