Boynton Beach woman stabbed more than 200 times with screwdriver, dies
Jessica Kalish's estranged wife stabbed her with a screwdriver 222 times in the garage of the Boynton Beach home where they lived, police said Wednesday. Though most of the wounds were not enough to kill, investigators said, the fatal blow was to the neck, severing the spinal cord.
Carol Anne Burger, 57, then put her wife's body in the back seat of Kalish's BMW and drove the car to a medical lot in the 2300 block of South Congress Avenue where she left it. Though police are still reviewing evidence, Lt. Gary Chapman said it is believed Burger then left Kalish's keys and wallet behind a business at 548 East Gateway Blvd., about 5 miles away.
Burger, a triathlete, then walked home. That was on Oct. 22. The next morning, Burger filed a missing person's report with police, saying Kalish did not show up to work and missed a doctor's appointment.
Police found Kalish's body that night. On Friday, Burger fatally shot herself in the head in their backyard.
