A woman described as a "twisted killer" has been sentenced to 50 years in prison for poisoning her partner, former police chief Richard Young, and watching him suffer until his death. According to Law & Crime, the court convicted Oglesby of murder and aggravated assault, accounting for 326 days she spent in pre-trial detention. Young's remains were found in a storage unit rented by Oglesby, which uncovered the threads of the crime. According to Mirror, investigations revealed that Oglesby used tetrahydrozoline, an ingredient in over-the-counter eye drops, to poison the victim's food and coffee over a year, with the help of another woman named Karen Dubit, who later made a deal with the prosecution in exchange for her testimony. Oglesby claimed her partner died from COVID-19 and that she kept his body because he wanted to be buried in an "Indian cemetery," but she didn't know how to carry out his wishes, according to court reports. An American court sentenced a 53-year-old woman to 50 years in prison for the slow murder of her ex-husband using eye drops and then hiding his body in a storage unit in Illinois. The case has drawn public attention in the United States.
