A 19-year-old Texas girl who was charged with the murder of a woman last year is on the run after being accused of setting a couple on fire: she killed a man and left her girlfriend fighting for her life.
Emma Presler was charged with murder Monday after police say she broke into the home of Devin Graham, a 33-year-old man, in Houston on Aug. 6 before filling it with flammable liquid. and put it in the light.
His girlfriend Karissa Lindros, 26, was also at home at the time and suffered severe burns to 70 percent of her body.
The two victims were taken to a hospital, but Graham, a father of three, died days later.
Before he died, police said, Graham told them a woman had broken in and dumped the unknown substance on him.
Houston police said they later determined the suspect was Presler. They announced the indictment against Presler earlier this week, but she is still on the run.
Police have not revealed the reasons for the deadly attack, but relatives told ABC13 that Presler knew the bride.
It is the second time in a year that Presler is charged with murder.
The teen was first charged after the shooting death of a 20-year-old disabled woman, Sierra Rhodd, in September last year.
Rhodd, who had cerebral palsy, was shot through his bedroom window while sleeping.
Presler was accused of being the driver of the getaway.
That murder charge against Presler was later dropped after a judge found there was no evidence that she was actually involved.
Presler’s boyfriend at the time and three others have been arrested and charged with Rhodd’s murder.
