A murder clarified almost thirty years later. Two women, Carolyn Foreman and Dakota Davis, were accused of the murder of their aunt, committed in 1997, to recover an inheritance of $ 40,000, reports The American Daily The oklahoman.
The two women were arrested on March 4, after the Oklahoma State Research Office reopened the archive in November 2023. The researchers found a trace of Carolina’s blood next to the shoe, seized, which Dakota Davis used the day of the murder.
A murder to touch the inheritance
On August 11, 1997, Gerthie Carolina, 81, was found in a blood bath in the field of her kitchen, at home, in Sasakwa, in Oklahoma. An autopsy reveals that it has been stabbed several times in the abdomen.
According to researchers, the two women have premeditated this murder to receive a legacy of $ 40,000. Four months before the murder of Gerthie Carolina, the latter had appointed Carolyn Foreman as a beneficiary of his inheritance.
Carolyn Foreman and Dakota Davis, respectively, the niece and the niece of Gerthie Carolina, had told the researchers in 1997 that they had found the body of their aunt, when they visited him to accompany him to a medical appointment.
Dakota Davis’s confessions to his father
During the years that followed this murder, Dakota Davis would have confessed to several people their participation in the murder of their aunt, according to the researchers. In 2001, the 17 -year -old girl, at the time of the events, would have told her father that she had “cut” Gerthie Carolina, while Carolyn Foreman told her to “hit her again, hit her again.” Carolyn Foreman was 53 years old in 1997.
“This case attests to the inexhaustible dedication of investigators and our unwavering search for justice, even decades after a crime has been committed,” said the prosecutor in charge of the case. “We hope this brings a little peace to Gerthie Carolina’s family after all these years,” he added.
