The Next Jeffrey Dahmer? Black Woman Convicted of Doing the Unthinkable to Her Landlord
Two years ago, a white woman was found in pieces, stuffed in the freezer of a Chicago home. Police later confirmed she was the landlord of the building, and now her tenant is being held criminally accountable for her killing.
Prosecutors say 37-year-old Sandra Kolalou rented a room in the city’s North Westside home from 69-year-old Frances Walker back in July 2022. In October, tensions grew between the two after Walker served an eviction notice to Kolalou, per The Chicago Sun-Times. Two other tenants in the home testified that one night, they heard the two fighting with each other in the basement.
The next day, onOct. 9, 2022, tenants said they received suspicious messages from Walker’s phone saying Kolalou was dog-sitting for her and to give her their keys if they plan to move out. Police detained Kolalou that day after she allegedly held a tow truck driver at knife-point to retrieve her car.
However, after being taken into custody, fellow tenants snooped around her room and found traces of blood. What police discovered next was a horrid scene.

The driver then told police about the garbage bags he claimed Kolalou dumped near the beach. Authorities said they later found bloody rags inside that garbage can. According to the Cook County Medical Examiner, the contents of the bag did not contain human remains.
“We learned this individual dumped a large plastic bag in a garbage can at Foster Beach and detectives were able to go to that garbage can and see that there were some bloody towels,” Deenihan said. “Based on that evidence, detectives were able to go into the residence and they eventually discovered human remains in a freezer.”
“In the first-floor kitchen freezer, police discovered the victim’s severed head, dismembered arms and dismembered legs,” Rodgers said. “The victim’s torso has not been located at this time.”
Kolalou maintained her innocence, claiming she was framed for the murder and insisting she would do anything for Walker, per The Chicago Sun-Times. Kolalou’s attorneys also argued Walker had a good relationship with their client ahead of her death.
Despite those claims, a jury convicted Kolalou of first-degree murder, dismembering a body and concealing a homicidal death.
