TWO WOMEN BUSTED IN GRUESOME GALLUP SLAYING

LARITA SMITH

GALLUP, New Mexico cops have arrested two women in the grisly slaying of Colleen Lincoln, 18, following the sickening discovery of bones and a fractured skull.
Cops say Lincoln had been missing since before the Christmas holidays but her remains were only discovered in a wash Feb. 16. Charged are Larita Smith, 21, and a 17-year-old minor.
Detectives believe Lincoln was lured to a popular drinking spot by three women where they tried to rob her.

“At this time, we have two of the young females in custody," Chief Deputy District Attorney James Bierly said.  "We're still searching for the third and hope to have her in custody before too long."

Detectives say the trio wanted Lincoln’s shoes, money and cell phone and
thought she may have had drugs on her. Like in many of these cases, she didn't.

One of the women used a large rock to smash Lincoln’s skull. Hours later, two of the women went to a  gas station to fill up a gas can and returned to the body, dragged it farther into the hills and then doused it before setting it ablaze. According to court records, they later found the corpse being eaten by dogs.
Smith and the two other suspects will be charged with murder, conspiracy to commit robbery, and two counts of conspiracy.
