Search continues for dead woman's children: Couple suspected in killing found dead in Florida

The hunt for two missing babies resumes today in a cross-country mystery that includes the discovery of their dead mother in Nevada and the murder-suicide in Florida of her suspected killers, officials said Tuesday.

The discovery of 21-year-old Kimyala Henson’s body last week in the desert north of Nixon launched an investigation into claims of satanic ritual, kidnapping and murder, officials said.
After identifying Henson, authorities searched 100 square miles of the Nevada desert for her children, 2-year-old Shaina Ashly Kirkpatrick and 4-month-old Shausa Kirkpatrick, who disappeared from Portland, Ore., with her April 4.

“The grave concern for us as an agency is the whereabouts of her children,” Washoe County Sheriff Dennis Balaam said Tuesday during a news conference. “At this point we don’t have any leads to be able to surmise anything. Anyone who really has any information is dead right now.”
The bodies of the primary suspects were found near Naples, Fla., nine days before Henson’s body was found, Balaam said. Florida police said Frank Oehring, 28, a fugitive from Bethany, Mo., shot his girlfriend, Christina Mayer, 24, before turning the rifle on himself.

Detectives in Portland notified the father of Henson’s two children Tuesday afternoon.

“I don’t really have much hope, to tell you the truth,” Steven Kirkpatrick told the Associated Press. “I’m trying to let the shock wear off. I’m at a loss over why this happened.” Kirkpatrick held a birthday party for his missing daughter, who turned 2 on April 27.

Investigators have called off the desert search for now and are concentrating on the extensive paper trail left by the suspects. “These two children would not be able to survive out there this long,” Balaam said. “But anything could have happened to them between here and Florida.

“An extensive search is still ongoing and we are asking for any kind of assistance from the public, if anyone has seen these kids accompanied by the suspects in the Reno, Gardnerville or Hawthorne areas.”

The couple was traveling in a red 1999 Kia Sephia.

Detectives were investigating a claim by Oehring’s ex-wife that her former husband and his new girlfriend were Satanists, Balaam said. “Any possible connection with Oehring’s satanic beliefs and the death of Kimyala Henson and the disappearance of her children has not been established,” Balaam said. No motive for the slaying has been uncovered, Balaam said.

Henson and her daughters were last seen checking into a Redding, Calif., motel with Mayer and Oehring on April 5, one day after leaving Portland on what was supposed to be a sight-seeing trip to British Columbia with the couple.

Someone obtained a copy of Henson’s birth certificate earlier that day in Alameda, Calif., authorities said. Investigators originally thought Mayer was Henson, after finding the younger woman’s identification on her body, Balaam said.

Oregon detectives followed a lengthy paper trail left by Oehring and Mayer, who obtained a false Nevada identification in Las Vegas April 9 and then used Henson’s credit cards for food, lodging and gas as they drove to Florida, Balaam said.

The detectives notified Reno police of Henson’s disappearance on May 4. Washoe County detectives, with the help of dental charts and DNA evidence, confirmed Henson’s identity Tuesday.

No evidence indicated the children made it to Florida, said Tina Osceola, spokeswoman for the Collier County Sheriff’s Department. “Our investigators are very, very sure that they weren’t anywhere near Florida,” she said.

The children’s car seats and luggage were missing, but investigators found a few articles of clothing and diapers in the vehicle parked near the couple’s bodies, Osceola said. Mayer, who used to live in Portland, became a close friend of Henson before moving to Bethany, Mo., where she met Oehring.

Oehring was wanted on a $250,000 warrant after he failed to appear for a March court hearing on charges he conspired to have his ex-wife killed, said Missouri prosecutor Rick Turner.

“The evidence shows he conspired to hire someone to kill his wife,” Turner said. “We found his estranged wife in her home, unconscious. She had been beaten. She remained in a coma for three weeks. She survived and is doing fine.” On April 15, Mayer called her uncle in Missouri from the Miami area to ask for money, saying she was in trouble and was tired of running.

Five days later, Mayer and Oehring were found with single bullet wounds to their temples at a rest stop on a rural highway near the edge of the Everglades, Osceola said. Oehring was still alive when he was discovered, but died on the way to the hospital.

Washoe County detectives are trying to determine whether the same .22 caliber rifle found on Oehring’s lap was used to kill Henson, Balaam said.
