LATEST: Louisiana man arrested for murder of a beloved 75-year-old community activist whose body was discovered asphyxiated in the trunk of her car, police say.
A Louisiana man has been arrested for the murder of a beloved 75-year-old community activist whose body was discovered asphyxiated in the trunk of her car, police said at a news conference Tuesday afternoon.
"It is with great sadness and respect to investigate any unexpected or traumatic death. When our investigation involved an innocent victim, such as Ms. Sadie Joseph, it is particularly tragic," Dr. William"Beau" Clark, the East Baton Rouge Parish Coroner, said in a statement on Friday. There was a 90 minute time frame that investigators focused on, from the time she was last seen alive to the time her body was found, police said.
The slaying of Roberts-Joseph, who was well known in Baton Rouge, came as a complete shock for her family and the community. "Friday, she came by [because] she had mixed some cornbread, but her oven went out, and she brought it here to put in the oven," Johnson told the newspaper."The bread is still there. She never came back to get it."
