Police have made an arrest in a 2011 cold case of an Iowa realtor killed while conducting an open house.
Ashley Okland was 27 years old when she was fatally shot inside a model townhouse in West Des Moines on April 8, 2011.
According to combined media reports, Kristin Elizabeth Ramsey, 53, was charged with first-degree murder in connection with Oakland’s death.
The West Des Moines Police Department did not state what brought them to Ramsey. According to her LinkedIn profile, Ramsey was a sales manager at Rottlund Homes, a homebuilding company that had developed the property Okland was showing, at the time of the realtor’s murder.
Ramsey is being held on a $2 million bond and is scheduled to be arraigned in April. Her attorneys have asked for bond to be reduced to $100,000 and to have her released with a GPS monitor and a curfew.
Ramsey’s attorneys are also requesting that a judge to reject a search warrant to seize her cellphones and any other electronic devices, arguing the devices could not be used to establish probable cause because they did not exist at the time of Okland’s death.
