Elisa Boyer, a prostitute, took all of Sam Cooke's money and clothes. She brought him to a hotel and locked him in a room. He was shot by Elisa's accomplice when he tried to escape.
There was a report that one year after the killing of Sam Cook, she was convicted of prostution and in 1979 or there abouts, she was convicted of the 2nd degree murder of her boyfriend.
The woman Sam Cooke was with the night he was killed was Bertha Franklin, the manager of the motel where the incident occurred. After Cooke was shot on December 11, 1964, by Franklin, she claimed it was in self-defense, asserting that he had attempted to assault her. Franklin faced no charges, and the case was ruled justifiable homicide, but the circumstances surrounding Cooke's death remain controversial and debated. Subsequently, she continued her life but mostly stayed out of the public eye.
Sam Cooke never married Barbra. He was married to Barbara Campbell in 1953 until his death in 1964. There may be confusion due to the similarity in their names, but Cooke's relationship with Campbell was the most significant in his life.
He is listed as 5'10 but his biographers & death certificate list at 5'9
