A woman who is charged with murder and other crimes in Cole County is facing yet another felony charge.

Rejeane Redmon, 29, of Jefferson City, has been charged with first-degree murder, armed criminal action and tampering with evidence. She was committed in 2024 and it was extended on Oct. 24, court filings show. A case management conference is scheduled for 9 a.m. Tuesday, May 19.

She is accused of stabbing 80-year-old Melvin Callahan to death in 2023. Redmon allegedly gave conflicting statements to deputies and a bloody knife was found outside the home, previous reporting indicates.

Redmon was charged on Tuesday with damaging jail property.  She is accused of punching windows of a dayroom and hitting the windows with tablets, according to court documents.

She has been charged in multiple cases since her incarceration in 2023.  She is accused of assaulting a Cole County deputy on Aug. 16, 2025, and was charged with second-degree assault. She was also charged with fourth-degree assault in 2025 in another case.
