In a plot that sounds like the script of a movie, an Oregon woman received a 15-year sentence for trying to carry out a plan to kill her mother in a Tellico Village home.

The murder plot involved helium, zip-ties, a potentially fatal “beauty treatment,” and a turkey that was possibly laced with medication.

Kimberly Hopkins, 56, who has been estranged from her adoptive parents, John and Jan Martin, both 88, arrived unannounced on Father’s Day weekend in 2018 at their home in Tellico Village.

She ordered helium delivered to the house using her parents’ computer and her mother’s credit card. She also purchased clothing and items that were used as part of her plan, Johnson said in a news release.

The plot unraveled after church on Father’s Day when Hopkins took her mother to a bedroom and wrapped her hands with zip-ties and started to place a plastic bag over her head under the pretext of giving her mother a beauty treatment, according to the news release.

The mother objected and called for her husband who was in another room of the house.

Hopkins left the house after John Martin confronted his daughter.   FULL STORY HERE
