Woman accused of being accessory to ‘witch’ murder due in court today
A Ventura woman accused of luring an Apple Valley
man to her boyfriend’s condo, where he was killed
and she allegedly helped clean up his blood, is due
in court today to enter a plea to a charge of being
an accessory to the Friday the 13th murder.
Cara Williams-Covert, 38, faces a felony charge of
being an accessory to the murder of 57-year-old
Larry Roger Fisk on Nov. 13. The charge was
dropped by prosecutors in March, but reinstated
late last month.
Williams-Covert’s boyfriend, 48-year-old Dale
Farquhar, was convicted Tuesday of second-degree
murder in the slaying of Fisk. The man was shot in
the back of the neck after he followed the woman to
the couple’s Palm Springs condominium at 680
Ashurst Court.
Farquhar, who prosecutors contend was acting out
a horror script when he shot Fisk, will face 15 years
to life in prison when he is sentenced Sept. 3.
During Farquhar’s trial, Supervising Deputy District
Attorney Otis Sterling said Williams-Covert called
herself a “witch.” Sterling said Farquhar identified
himself as a “true demon” and a “sociopath” in a
journal found in the couple’s condo.
The prosecution contended that Farquhar and
Williams-Covert came to Palm Springs last October
to write the horror script and commit mass murder.
In the script, Farquhar played a character named
Dave Hatcher, a transsexual in an open relationship
with a “witch” named Cat, according to the
prosecution.
Williams-Covert was playing the role of Cat, who
was strung out on methamphetamine and lured men
back to their condo for sex.
Prosecutors believe Williams-Covert was acting out
the script when she lured Fisk back to their condo
to his eventual death.
Fisk, a motorcyclist who had recently separated from
his wife and stopped in Palm Springs on his way to
Arizona, likely did not know about the scheme,
Sterling said.
Following the shooting, Williams-Covert told police
she saw Farquhar drag the victim’s body to the front
of a vacant condo and helped cleanup the blood
stains, according to testimony.
She also admitted to helping Farquhar dispose of
Fisk’s belongings in a desert lot about a mile from
the condo, according to the prosecution.
