Convicted murderer Karen Holmes was sentenced to life plus three years in Washington County, Virginia Circuit Court for the 2020 murder of 79-year-old Alberta Warren.
Commonwealth’s Attorney Josh Cumbow said Holmes has shown no remorse for the cold-blooded killing of Warren inside an SUV on Widener Valley Road.
Holmes reportedly wanted to give Warren drugs in exchange for a debt then shot the woman and stole her personal items.
