A New York Man allegedly murdered his ex-girlfriend and dismembered her body. Damon Foy, 50, pleaded guilty to killing 44-year-old Alberta Dale and keeping her severed head in a suitcase.
Damon Foy of Kerhonkson, New York, reportedly admitted to murdering Dale and dismembering her body, according to CBS News. The murder occurred betweenMarch 31, 2024, and April 1, 2024, per the Ulster County District Attorney’s Office. The DA announced on Facebook on Thursday, October 8, that Foy had pleaded guilty to murdering Dale.
In addition, Foy allegedly dismembered Dale’s remains and kept her severed head in a suitcase with a flower, per the New York Post.
Dale had reportedly recently broken up with Foy before her death, and her family in Pennsylvania requested a wellness check. In addition, the family filed a missing person’s report with the Ulster County Sheriffs Office, and a search warrant was obtained for Foy’s residence. His car was located at Foy’s apartment, despite Dale having an order of protection against him.
Documents obtained by the New York Post described the moment the authorities opened the suitcase and found Dale’s remains on April 2, 2024. The police reportedly obtained it after Foy refused to let the police touch the suitcase, which appeared to have dried blood.
“Officers opened the defendants suitcase and found Alberta Dales partial dismembered remains, including her severed head,” the documents read. “The remaining portions of her dismembered body were not located during the execution of the search warrant.”
Subsequently, Foy was arrested and charged with second-degree murder.
Foy allegedly admitted to killing Dale. Furthermore, he claimed that he murdered Dale because he was kicked out of his home.
“Shes in there, I killed her,” he said, per the New York Post. “The only thing she kept doing after the time throughout the whole relationship was just play me, play me like a fool, play me like a sucker, and just took advantage of the whole f*cking system. Thats it. I was told to leave my own home. I was told to leave my own f*cking home, not a bill in her name, and I was told to leave my own fking home. Get out. Then it all started coming clearer to me.”
Foy reportedly accepted a plea agreement and is expected to be sentenced to 23 years to life, per Fox News. Foy’s sentencing is scheduled for December 16.
