OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - The former girlfriend of a man
accused of the shooting deaths of a prostitute featured on HBO's
"Cathouse" series and three other people says she overheard him planning
the shootings.
Karinne Sanders testified in Oklahoma County
District Court Tuesday during a preliminary hearing for 34-year-old
Denny Edward Phillips. Sanders says the shootings involved drugs and
money.
Phillips is charged with first-degree murder in the
November 2009 death of 22-year-old Brooke Phillips, who had worked as a
prostitute at the legal Moonlite Bunny Ranch brothel near Carson City,
Nev., that was featured on HBO. She was not related to Denny Phillips.
The other victims were 22-year-old Milagros Barrera, 25-year-old
Jennifer Ermey and 32-year-old Casey Mark Barrientos.
Each of the victims was shot and stabbed and their bodies were set on fire.
