Xenia, Ohio – Ice pick murderess
Sandra Matthews-Johnson called 911 on the evening of Aug. 6, 2007 to report
that her victim Ottie Marie Tomlinson had fallen and injured herself. The
personnel who had contact with Tomlinson that night testified that she told
them that “Sandy” had stabbed her with a pen.
Initially, no one believed her because the only visible injury was a bleeding cut over Tomlinson’s left eye. But a CAT scan at Greene Memorial Hospital revealed what would eventually become the murder weapon lodged in her brain from ear to ear.

Later at Miami Valley Hospital,
Tomlinson, who could not speak because she had been intubated, gave a written
statement to Xenia Detectives Jeff Osburn and Fred Meadows indicating again
that Matthews-Johnson was her attacker.
At the trial one witness testified
that the two women had a heated argument while drinking beer hours before the
alleged attack and that he heard Matthews-Johnson mutter a threat that she
would kill Tomlinson.
Matthews-Johnson was convicted of
aggravated murder on April 24, 2008.
