Cheryl Durkin's sister remembers while sitting on the riverbank where her torso was found
“That was the last place she was,” Karla Edwards says. “I go out there and talk to her and think about her.” As Karla sits and stares out over the Great Miami River, the white caps kicked up by winds serve as a symbol of the rough journey these past 20 years. “As the years go by, the more you realize she only existed for a little while … you're not going to see her again,” Karla said. She was talking to WCPO about her sister, 33-year-old Cheryl Durkin, whose torso washed onto the riverbank in 1998. Cheryl was brutally killed by James Lawson in his house on Garfield Street in Middletown, prosecutors said. He hit her at least four times in the head with a hammer, then he dragged her downstairs and stuffed her through a hole into the basement. Then he used a power saw to cut her apart.
