Missing Cal State grad Terrilynn Monette’s car found with body – San Bernardino County Sun

A body found in a car dredged out of a New Orleans bayou in all likelihood is that of missing Cal State San Bernardino graduate and Long Beach native Terrilynn Monette, a Louisiana legislator said Saturday.

Monette, 26, who went to New Orleans to take a teaching position in West Bank, went missing on March 2 and was last seen leaving a bar about a mile from where her Honda was found, The Times-Picayune reported Saturday.

Rep. Austin Badon told New Orleans news outlets the body found inside the black 2012 two-door Accord with Louisiana license plates was most likely that of Monette but the coroner needed to complete an autopsy in order to confirm the identity.

Reports indicated the body was found in the vehicle’s driver’s seat.

Elderly Clinton couple killed in their home | The Clarion-Ledger | clarionledger.com

An elderly Clinton couple is dead, and police say a man who had a business relationship with them murdered the two.

Clinton Interim Police Chief Mike Warren said the couple, who he is not yet identifying pending notification of their relatives, apparently were beaten or stabbed to death.

Willie Williams, 47, of Clinton is charged with murder after calling Jackson police early today and telling them he had killed the two, Warren said. The killing apparently stems from an argument Williams had with the couple over work he did for them at their home, Warren said.

“What we know is that he called JPD at about 1 or 2 a.m. today and claimed he had killed a man over here,” Warren said. The man didn’t know the address, Warren said, “but he told them that he would lead them to the house.”
