Wrongful Death Woman Charged With Killing Husband In His Sleep Sentenced

A Lincoln County woman has been sentenced for the shooting death of her husband.

51-year-old Tamara Richie will serve 15 years in prison after pleading guilty to an amended charge of manslaughter in the death of her husband, David, who was shot in the head in 2012 while he was sleeping.

David’s body was found three days later when Tamara went to her sister’s house and told her about the shooting. Tamara’s sister then called officials.

Deputies say they found David Richie’s lifeless body in the bedroom. He’d been shot once in the head while he was asleep.

“At the scene, it didn’t look like there’d been any altercation at all,” says Sheriff Folger.

Sheriff Folger said he can’t recall law enforcement being called out to the house before, except for about six years ago for a report that David Richie had been shot, but that was ruled accidental.

Richie had to undergo a psychiatric evaluation in La Grange.

David and Tamara Richie had been married for 27 years. Tamara Richie’s brother-in-law is the former Judge Executive of Lincoln County, Buckwheat Gilbert.
