## Resource

A chilling murder case in Tuscaloosa County centers on 23-year-old Karen Hollis, found dead in a trash bag after going missing May 8. Acquaintance Randall Dejourney, with a violent criminal history including domestic violence and a recent Florida fugitive stint, is now charged with murder and abuse of a corpse. Security footage and cell phone data show him leaving Hollis’s apartment with a large tote, then traveling eastbound after her phone went dark. Her sister confirmed Hollis’s phone was vital to her — its absence triggered immediate alarm. Dejourney’s past includes a protection order, strangulation charges, and a quick release from Florida just days before the crime. Now, the case heads to a grand jury as the family demands justice.
