Husband, his girlfriend charged with wife's murder

OCALA – Marion County sheriff's investigators say Heather Strong died inside a storage trailer near McIntosh on Feb. 15. Her killers tied her with duct tape to an office chair and suffocated her with a plastic bag over her head.

The 26-year-old Citra woman's husband, Joshua Damien Fulgham, and his girlfriend, Emilia Carr, told detectives the terrible story of her killing, according to a Sheriff's Office report. Both were arrested Tuesday night on charges of first-degree murder and kidnapping.

They lured Strong to the trailer behind Carr’s mother's home, at 5500 N.W. 219th St. Road in Boardman, where they bound her to the chair using duct tape. Then Carr placed a plastic bag over Strong’s head and tried to break her neck, according to Detective Donald Buie's report.

That attempt failed. Then Carr and Fulgham together suffocated Strong with the plastic bag...
