Kristin Ramsey Pleads Not Guilty in 2011 Killing of Realtor Ashley Okland

Pretrial filings spotlight disputed evidence before a January trial.

Overview

  • Ramsey, 53, entered her plea at a Friday hearing in Dallas County after a March grand jury indictment and arrest.
  • A neighbor’s account in new filings says two thuds were heard, Ramsey was seen outside the model home, she left driving erratically, and the neighbor called 911.
  • Prosecutors say Ramsey gave conflicting statements in multiple interviews, and investigators recovered two .380 cartridge cases at the scene.
  • Searches of Ramsey’s home in May 2011 and again in March 2026 found multiple firearms, illegal substances, and posters threatening violence, according to court records.
  • Defense filings argue the grand jury saw no firearm, ballistics, DNA, fingerprints, digital records, new eyewitnesses, or confessions; bond remains $2 million cash-only as the judge weighs reduction and a phone warrant, with trial set for January 2027.
