Police Policies, Procedures Denied In Ramsey Case | 1430 KASI

(Adel, IA) -- Criminal investigation policies and procedures don't have to be turned over to defense attorneys in the Kristin Ramsey murder case.

Ramsey is accused of gunning down realtor Ashley Okland during a 2011 open house in West Des Moines.

Her attorneys claimed the state had an obligation to turn over police procedures, policies and training documents from the Attorney General's Cold Case Unit, West Des Moines Police and the Iowa Department of Criminal Investigation.

But the judge denied their motion, saying the request as overly broad and not supported by a specific claim that they are material to the case.

Ramsey was arrested and indicted by a Dallas County Grand jury in March of 2026, fifteen years after the murder.

The murder gained national attention and changed the way prospective buyers are shown homes in Iowa.

Her trial is scheduled July 12, 2027.
