She was found murdered in her garage-shot in the back of the head, with a plastic bag placed over her face. The scene was chilling, and the betrayal even more so.
At first, suspicion fell on her boyfriend, Louis Bonheur, as tensions in their relationship had raised red flags. But as investigators dug deeper, the story took a shocking turn-one filled with deception, manipulation, and a fugitive on the run.
LaNell’s story is a heartbreaking tale of trust betrayed and justice pursued. Just when you think you understand what happened, another layer is uncovered. And at the center of it all was someone she once loved.
