PARENTS KILLED, TEENS ARRESTED - PANDEMIC MURDER PLOT?

DR BETH POTTER AND HER HUSBAND, ROBIN CARRE, WERE FATALLY SHOT AFTER CLASHES WITH THEIR DAUGHTER AND HER BOYFRIEND OVER SOCIAL DISTANCING

By all accounts, the early weeks of March were a hectic, stressful time in Beth Potter and Robin Carre’s Madison, Wisconsin, home. The COVID-19 pandemic was surging across the US, and Potter – a family medicine physician at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, working the front lines – was concerned about bringing the virus home to her husband or their 18-year-old daughter, Miriam. And she was just as determined to protect her patients from infection from the outside.

TRAGIC LOSS

Friends say Potter and Carre (right) were devoted to daughter Miriam (left) and their two older sons. Their murders at the UW Arboretum stunned the community.

Weeks earlier the couple had agreed to let Miriam’s boyfriend, Khari Sanford, 19, move in with their family – the teenagers were quarantining together – but Potter and Carre were growing increasingly concerned the teenagers weren’t taking the outbreak seriously and were refusing to follow social-distancing guidelines with friends.

SCHOOLMATE SUSPECTS

Ali’jah Larrue (left) and Khari Sanford (right) were long-time friends at Madison West High School, where Sanford was a receiver on the school’s football team and vice president of the school’s Black Student Union and Larrue was known as a gamer and jokester. If convicted of murder charges, both face life in prison.
