Wilson admitted to the police authorities that she and her 34-year-old boyfriend Harrison Foster were under the influence of methamphetamines on December 24 before the murder. While it is still unclear whether the couple were regular drug users, it is believed that she committed the alleged murder while still high from the crystal meth. During her confession, she claimed to the police that Foster had “several other entities living inside his body for the past several months”. She further added that she decided to stab him with the sword to finally set him free. 

Wilson, who was found with her boyfriend's dead body in the basement, was arrested from her home and held at the Cape Girardeau municipal jail. She was later charged with first-degree murder and armed criminal action and her bond has been set at $2 million in cash. Her psychological condition is yet to be evaluated and no information is available around that.
