Suspect to face trial in connection with 2020 crash in Denison that killed Katie Palmer
DENISON, TX – A male suspect who is accused of causing a deadly crash that killed Katie Palmer in 2020 is scheduled to go to trial on February 8, 2027, KTEN reported on Tuesday, April 21.
The backstory: The suspect, 53-year-old Cory Foster, was driving a pickup truck when he struck Katie Palmer and her husband, John, who were going on a morning walk, KXII reports.
Katie died from her injuries, while John was sent to the Intensive Care Unit.
Body camera footage from police reveals that Foster had a BAC level of 0.06, which indicated moderate intoxication, but is below the 0.08% legal driving limit in Texas and most states, according to KTEN. Foster was arrested and charged with murder in October 2025, KXII said.
