A lesbian couple admitted to luring one of the women’s former lovers into the
woods, beating her and strangling her, and finally burying her in a shallow
grave as she took her last breaths.
Pennsylvania prosecutors are weighing whether to seek the death penalty for
Jade Olmstead and Ashley Barber, the Erie Times-News reported.
Their victim, Olmstead’s 20-year-old ex Brandy Stevens, suffocated on the
dirt they shoveled into the grave they’d dug in advance of the horrific crime,
autopsy results showed.
On May 17, the two women told police, Olmstead convinced Stevens to come see
a fort she was building in the woods outside their home near Cochranton.
Barber, Olmstead’s new girlfriend, was lying in wait at the scene. They
savagely beat Stevens, stuffing a cap into her mouth because “they were freaking
out from her screams,” state police Trooper Eric Mallory testified.
Barber strangled Stevens with a rope as Olmstead continued to bludgeon her,
and head-butted her so hard that she bruised her own forehead.
Olmstead and Barber rolled Stevens into the makeshift grave, they said. When
they saw that she was still breathing, they slammed a rock into her face and
poured water into her nose and mouth before piling on the dirt that eventually
killed her.
Both women face charges of homicide and conspiracy to commit homicide, as
well as evidence tampering for burning some of Stevens’ belongings and their own
blood-soaked clothes, according to the Times-News.
Crawford County District Attorney Francis Schultz will determine if he will
pursue the death penalty before their Aug. 24 arraignment.


Pursue the death penalty because Bertha & the girls dont want any hoes like this around.
ReplyDeleteWhat a horrific and demonic thing to do! To smash her face with a rock and then pour water down her nostrils to drown her is beyond extreme. What was the motive for this, cause she's an ex. Rip. Fry these losers!
