Who was Ally Kostial and what was her cause of death?

THE TRAGEDY of Ally Kostial’s murder swept media headlines and garnered the attention of true-crime sleuths.

The details surrounding Ally’s homicide were unearthed during the bombshell trial of Brandon Theesfeld – her assailant.

Who was Ally Kostial?

Ally Kostial was a 21-year-old college student at the University of Mississippi.

According to her obituary, Ally’s graduation date was slated for sometime during the Spring of 2020.

Throughout her time at Ole Miss, Ally took part in a variety of extracurricular activities.

She was a founding member of the Alpha Phi sorority, president of the school’s golf club, and taught fitness classes.

While attending the school, Ally met a fellow student – Brandon Theesfeld.

What was Ally’s cause of death?

Throughout their time at the college, Ally and Brandon casually dated on-again, off-again.

In April of 2019, Ally attempted to contact Brandon due to the possibility she might be pregnant with his child.

After avoiding her for months, Brandon met up with Ally on July 20, 2019 – and carried out her murder.

The assailant shot Ally multiple times after meeting up to discuss arrangements based on the possibility of her being pregnant at the time.

During the trial in August 2021, legal officials disclosed that based on autopsy evidence, Ally was not pregnant when she was killed.

Brandon’s lawyer, Tony Farese, told the press: “The autopsy showed that she was not pregnant and there was no evidence that she had been pregnant.

Farese added: “But, that was part of the underlying theme of their relationship.”

What happened to Ally’s assailant Brandon Theesfeld?

In August of 2021, Brandon Theesfeld was convicted of the charges brought against him for the killing of Ally Kostial.

He pleaded guilty to first-degree murder and was sentenced to life in prison.

Prior to pleading guilty, Brandon was initially charged with capital murder and was facing a potential death sentence.

A week before his sentencing, Brandon and his legal team took a plea deal, which resulted in the suspension of the potential death penalty and led to a life sentence instead.

He told Ally’s family in court: “I am sincerely sorry for the pain I’ve caused while taking Ally from you.”

The killer added: “My actions have forever changed your lives and my family’s lives. I wish I could take it all back but I can’t.”

“There is no excuse for my actions and I have asked God for forgiveness. I hope one day that you will find it in your heart to forgive me.”
