Emergency Management Secretary Faces Murder Charges

POPLAR BLUFF, Mo. - A Butler County Emergency Management and Homeland Security Agency secretary faces Second Degree Murder Charges and Financial Abuse of an Elderly Person by a Caretaker of a man in Oklahoma County, Oklahoma, back in October of 2004.

Susan Foushee, 57, heads to trial in September.

According to Butler County Emergency Management and Homeland Security Agency Director Rick Sliger, "Experienced Works" helped place Foushee in the job. "Experience Works" is out of Buffalo, Missouri, and according to their Web site, the company helps seniors get good jobs in their local communities. Sliger says "Experience Works" pays Foushee for the work.

"She answers phones and files papers. It's benign work," Sliger said.

"I hope she can clear this up still work here. She helps me out a lot, and I'm happy to have her," Sliger said.

Foushee began work at the Butler County Emergency Management Agency in January 2007, according to Sliger.

Prosecutors also charged a second woman, Cynthia Dewberry, with the same crimes as Foushee. Dewberry pleaded guilty to Manslaughter II and two counts of Financial Exploitation of a Elderly Person by a Caretaker.
