Craigslist murders: pregnant teen killed, boyfriend decapitated in Michigan

2015-05-12 22

A pregnant Michigan teenager was strangled and her boyfriend decapitated after apparently meeting a stranger online through Craigslist for a sexual encounter, police said.

The police chief in Wyoming said that 18-year-old Brooke Slocum was held captive before her death. Her body was discovered last Thursday in the trunk of the suspect's car. Slocum was eight months pregnant.

Chief James Carmody says her boyfriend, Charles Oppeneer, 25, was found decapitated in the park a day earlier. The head has still not been recovered.

Emails show that Slocum met the suspect, 31-year-old Brady Oestrike, through a Craigslist ad and arranged a sexual encounter where Oppenneer would be present.

Police obtained a search warrant for Oestrike's residence, and he fled in a yellow 2005 Chevrolet Cobalt. He fatally shot himself after crashing his car at the corner of Burton and US 151, after which police discovered Slocum's body.

Authorities collected at least 400 items from Oestrike's home, including firearms, ammunition and knives. They also seized several electronic items and possessions from both victims.

Police said they are investigating to see if there were any other people involved in the murders.
