Cory Martin , 37 , strangled and dismembered Brandy Odom , 26 , in her bedroom, prosecutors say.

Prosecutors say Martin and a co-conspirator fraudulently obtained two life insurance policies in Odom 's name.

They then made several unsuccessful attempts to claim benefits under Odom ’s policies before being apprehended in 2020 .

U.S. Attorney Breon Peace calls it a “ghastly, cold-blooded crime” motivated by greed.
