Detrich is allegedly one of the last people seen with murder victim Damon Galyardt on November 11th, 2011. Galyardt’s body was found in Barton County the day after both Galyardt and Detrich were allegedly being sought after by Lyons Police in connection to a counterfeit money case in Lyons. Detrich was arrested in Lyons, just hours before Galyardt’s body was found in Barton County. She was charged on multiple counts on December 6th. Scott McPherson is the Rice County Attorney.
