Wednesday April 23, 1986 two blood spattered women walked into Humana Hospital on Richmond Rd in Lexington, KY. One woman went to use the phone to call a cab while the other headed to the bathroom to wash up. A nurse noticed the blood on the two women and quickly alerted a police officer. The women were arrested for public intoxication.

LaFonda Fay Foster and Tina Marie Hickey Powell were responsible for the deadliest mass murder ever committed by females in Kentucky history. 

Special thanks to Jordan Allen and the Bellwethers for the out-going song “Til Death Do Us Part.”
