The murder of Opal Collins was a critical murder case that captivated Americans in the 1960s. Opal did not flee, but instead willingly surrendered to the authorities. Despite the fact that Opal Collins was on trial for the murder of Mary, she faced four life sentences.

Opal Collins received the death penalty after being found guilty of first-degree murder in May 1956. It occurred at a time when 35 of the 48 American states allowed the death penalty, despite the fact that almost no women were executed at that time. The death penalty was reduced to a life sentence by the Indiana governor on December 10, 1956. Opal made several attempts to have her sentence overturned, but she was always unsuccessful.

Where is Opal Collins now?

Opal Collins is either in her late 80s and in a Hammond jail, or Opal Collins has died by this point. There is no information about her available in the public domain.
