In December, 1993; 19 year old Rose Larner, a native to Albion, Michigan had been murdered.

This murder was the result of a drug quest of her childhood friend John Ortiz-Kehoe, and her childhood friend by the name of William Brown. Both John Ortiz-Kehoe and William Brown were drug dealers and users.

The fact that Rose Larner, John Ortiz-Kehoe, and William Brown were all in the shower together simultaneously is morbid; let alone the fact that they were all in the shower together just prior to her murder. Then once they had mauled Rose Larner, John Ortiz-Kehoe and William Brown had cremated Rose Larner’s body in a firepit on one of the kids’ grandparents’ property; and then the two young men had put Rose Larner’s ashes in a sack and had allowed Rose Larner’s ashes to blow out of the car and onto the side of the road as they were driving back to Lansing, Michigan.

It is such a shame that Rose Larner’s mother, Rose Markey has to spend the rest of her life living through the grief of losing her daughter to two young, punk teenage boys on a quest for drugs.

This murder investigation was the subject of an episode of the television program Forensic Files.
