WASHINGTON COUNTY, Ga. — Sandersville native Destiny Magoon, 32, is the owner of Romeo and Juliette Keepsakes, where she created items out of breast milk, hair and ashes.
She's also the woman accused of cheating people out of $35,000 dollars. Magoon was arrested April 30, 2024, and indicted in July. Now, she's asking for another bond hearing.
Donna Miller is a mother who says she was scammed into buying a teddy bear with her breast milk, before losing both the money and the milk.
Miller says she is upset with how the court is dealing with Magoon's case. She says Magoon is a criminal and she needs to be locked up.
More than just that, she says social media groups trying to get justice for each victim are more harmful than helpful because Magoon's lawyer can find evidence within the Facebook group.
"I think that Georgia really needs to stop giving criminals the opportunity to keep appearing in front of the judge," Miller said. "I think it is a waste of resources, truly. She's where she belongs, she has not admitted guilty. She thinks that she hasn't done anything wrong."
Miller says she is very upset with how she was treated by Magoon. Miller said Magoon harassed her and made fake accounts to bully her, before Miller blocked her on all accounts.
Miller says she is afraid that Magoon will talk her way out of jail.
"Our hope is that she pays for her crimes and that with the police doing the job and not Facebook doing the job, that she gets found guilty," she says. "And that she stays where she remains now, which is in jail and that her sentence is appropriate for the crimes that were committed."
Miller has reached out to other women who have been scammed and she says some will never get their ashes or their breast milk back.
She says one lady spent hundreds of dollars to be able to breastfeed their child and they had a little milk left so they sent it to Magoon to make an animal with the breastmilk. She never got the milk back and lost money.
Miller says stories like this make her want justice even more. She says she's hoping Magoon's bond is denied once more at the Aug. 15 hearing.
