A woman has been arrested and charged with the murder of her missing roommate Talina Galloway after the 53-year-old’s dismembered remains were found in a freezer in Arkansas last week, the Wagoner County Sheriff’s Office in Oklahoma announced Friday.
Authorities had been searching for Talina since April 17, 2020, when her roommate, Kore Bommeli, reported her missing from their Oklahoma home.
Talina had allegedly posted to Facebook earlier that month stating she believed she had COVID-19, but would not go to the hospital. Her friends and family told Dateline’s “Missing in America” in May that the Facebook post was out of character and that they did not believe Talina would just walk away without contacting anyone.
At a press conference on Friday, Wagoner County Sheriff Chris Elliott said dismembered remains found in a freezer in a wooded area of Polk County, Arkansas, last week, had been identified as Talina Galloway. The manner of death was homicide.
The freezer was discovered by a witness who had reported seeing a truck and white cargo trailer last summer, on June 8, 2020, driving into a secluded area that is adjacent to the Ouachita National Forrest, south of Mena, Arkansas, the sheriff said.
The witness was suspicious of the activity and walked into the area. When she caught up to the vehicle, she observed there was no one around, but smelled a foul odor coming from the trailer and said there was a foul-smelling liquid pooled on the floor of the trailer. She obtained the tag information and contacted Polk County deputies. A deputy was dispatched to the area, but there was no contact made between the two so the witness assumed the matter was resolved.
