Three people have been arrested and charged with murder in the death of a Missouri woman who retired to the coast of Belize.
The body of Sherris Stringham, a retiree from Missouri, was found early saturday September 1, near a river in Pomona, Belize, police spokeswoman Hortence Hernandez said in a statement Monday.
Police said that Stringham was reported missing from her home Aug 26. Her vehicle had been found abandoned on August 23, hundreds of miles away in the Orange Walk district in the northern part of Belize.
On Sunday, Aug. 26, when Stringham failed to show up to a softball game, her friends went to her rental to check on her and noticed something wasn’t right.
“They found the house ransacked, a wine glass half-full with her lipstick on it and what appeared to be a white substance and her car was missing,” police said.
Subsequently the killers led cops to the spot where they had dumped her remains body late early Saturday under a bridge near a river in Pomona, Belize, about 50 miles from her home in the village of Hopkins.
