Beth Potter, a University of Wisconsin physician and associate professor Robin Carre, an independent education consultant, were found murdered in near the Wisconsin Arboretum. Their bodies were found lying in a ditch on March 31. According to the police, both were shot in their head and on their backs.
The University of Wisconsin-Madison police department arrested 18-year-old suspect Khari Sanford for the murder on Tuesday. Wisconsin District prosecutors have charged Sanford with first-degree intentional suicide. Late night on April 3, the police had arrested an associate of Sanford, Ali’jah Larrue, who faces charges of party to the crime of first degree and intentional homicide.
Potter, worried about the coronavirus surging across the United States, had last month, her daughter and daughter’s boyfriend into a rental property nearby, so that they could properly maintain social distancing. Both Sanford and Potter’s daughter studied at Madison West High School.
The prosecutors believe that the 18-year-old boyfriend, Khari Sanford, shot Potter and her husband execution-style, before leaving them for dead in a ditch. As per authorities, the motive for the murders could be money.
Hours before being murdered, Potter told her friend that her daughter had told Potter, “You don’t care about me, you don’t talk to me,” as she and Sanford were moving out.
A CBS report says, a classmate of Potter’s daughter overheard a discussion between her and Sanford, where she told Sanford that her parents had bands of money, which likely meant thousands of dollars in cash.
Potter and Carre have three children.
