Ex-roommate held as murder suspect

MADISON, Wis. -- A woman wanted in the killing of her former roommate in Oklahoma has been arrested in Wisconsin.

Authorities found the victim's body in Arkansas last month.

The Dane County sheriff's office in Wisconsin says 59-year-old Kore Adams was taken into custody during a traffic stop Thursday afternoon on a Wagoner County, Okla., warrant on first-degree murder with deliberate intent and desecration of a corpse.

Sheriff's spokeswoman Elise Schaffer said the victim was reported missing last spring and that she and Adams lived together.

Adams, also known as Kore Bommeli, had reported Talina Galloway missing to Wagoner County law enforcement officials in mid-April.

The Wagoner County sheriff's office later arrested Adams on several complaints, including carrying or being in possession of a firearm as a felon, destroying evidence and obstruction of investigation. Her bond was set at $150,000.

While out on bail for those charges, Adams has been living in Middleton, Wis.

Wagoner County District Attorney Jack Thorp obtained an arrest warrant Thursday for Adams, who has been a prime suspect in Galloway's disappearance, authorities said.

Wagoner County Sheriff Chris Elliot said Galloway's body was found in a freezer in Polk County, Ark., in December.
