Amy Gale DuckettAmy Duckett, who was arrested last year for burying her girlfriend in her backyard, was sentenced to seven years in prison Friday.
Duckett’s girlfriend, Christine Medlin, went missing around January 2017. Her mother, Susan Medlin, said Duckett gave several accounts about what happened. Allegedly, she said Christine Medlin was away at rehab, then that she ran away, then that she disappeared after a drug deal went bad.
More than a year later, on May 1, Susan Medlin said Duckett called her again. She seemed high. She supposedly told Susan Medlin she was ready to come clean.
The next day, during a recorded conversation with Susan Medlin and a private investigator, Duckett said Christine Medlin overdosed on pills. Duckett was high at the time. After trying to make her girlfriend throw up, Duckett passed out. Christine Medline died.
Three days later, she called her son, Kurt Duckett. They allegedly wrapped Christine Medlin’s body with plastic bags, dragged her to the woods behind Ducket”s home on Novella Drive in Dalton and buried her.
