New details are emerging about the murders of an elderly Florida couple at their nursing home on New Year’s Eve.
The documents obtained by FOX 35 Orlando include information about how the couple may have died and how authorities were able to locate the alleged suspect in Georgia.
An arrest affidavit states that Sharon Getman, 80, and her husband, Darryl Getman, 83, were found dead inside their home after what appears to be a random, violent attack. The report says both victims had serious head, facial and stomach injuries.
The report also says a cleaver-style knife was found inside Darryl Getman’s abdomen, as well as defensive wounds.

Detectives also noted several blood prints inside the home and garage, where the Getmans’ green Kia Soul was missing.
The alleged suspect, Vickie Williams, 50, was arrested several days later at an Amtrak station in Savannah, Georgia. The Getmans’ green Kia Soul was parked in the parking lot, officials told FOX 35.

Williams was arrested on carjacking charges and extradited to Florida, where a judge added first-degree murder charges and ordered her held without bail.
Williams’ arraignment is scheduled for January 30.
It was the Getmans’ son who told investigators his mother had the keys in the Kia Soul’s ignition and her purse and cell phone inside the vehicle, according to the arrest report.
Agents were then able to track the car using license plate readers and pinging the victim’s cell phone, which was found inside the vehicle.
Vickie Lynn Williams, 50, of Savannah, Georgia, was arrested on one count of carjacking and was being held at the Chatham County Sheriff’s Office while awaiting extradition to Florida.

“It appears the suspect attempted to clean himself in the guest bathroom because there was a blood-stained green and white wet washcloth and what appeared to be tight, curly black hair. The various hairs recovered in the sink were believed to have been left behind by the unknown suspect, due to the victims’ hair color and type being identified as straight grayish-colored hair,” the report said.
