Realtor Ashley Okland Was Killed at an Open House. 15 Years Later, Her Accused Killer Fights to Get the Case Thrown Out. | True Crime News

from Crime House 24/7 · host Crime House

In April 2011, 27-year-old real estate agent Ashley Okland was alone at an open house in West Des Moines, Iowa when someone walked in, shot her twice, and walked out. The case stayed cold for nearly 15 years. This spring, a grand jury indicted 53-year-old Kristin Ramsey — a longtime local who worked for the developer that built the townhome. Ramsey has pleaded not guilty. Last Friday, her attorneys filed a 44-page motion to dismiss, arguing the entire case rests on a single neighbor whose story kept changing over 15 years. Vanessa walks you through the case, the indictment, and the motion that could throw it all out.If you’re new here, don’t forget to follow Crime House 24/7 to never miss a case!
