About This Episode
Ashley Okland, a 28-year-old real estate agent, was shot and killed during an open house showing in West Des Moines, Iowa in 2011—a case that would remain unsolved for more than a decade and a half.
The murder sent shockwaves through the real estate community and left investigators searching for answers. Despite the passage of years and ongoing investigative efforts, the case grew cold, with few public leads emerging to identify a suspect.
That changed dramatically in March 2026 when authorities made a breakthrough in the investigation. Police arrested Kristin Ramsey, 53, and charged her with Okland's murder. The arrest marked a major development in what had become one of the region's most enduring homicides.
