THE PORTRAIT of the man accused of murdering and dismembering pretty single mom Laura Jean Ackerson is at odds with the twisted act of bloodlust he's been fingered for. The torso of Laura Jean, 27, was discovered in a creek near Houston, Texas--far from her North Carolina home. Police have yet to confirm the remains are hers but law enforcement sources tell Crime Scene USA its Laura Jean.Now, her former boyfriend and his wife have been charged with killing
the friendly brunette, the mother of his two children. Cops believe she was murdered July 13 and her remains taken across the country. Charged are Grant Hayes and his wife Amanda. Amanda Hayes' sister lives where the remains were found, along with a machete.
Laura Jean's friend Jo Jackson said the young mom was turning her life around and hoped to be a teacher. Jackson said: "Although they are very young, they still know that mommy's not there and it does impact them, tremendously. Laura is not in a creek somewhere, Laura is in heaven and I believe that."
Grant Hayes' friend Mark Gierth said the accused killer is a talented musician who was thinking about returning to the Virgin Islands where he once lived. “He said it looks like the only way he’d get joint custody is if he lived in North Carolina. He can’t make any money there doing what he’s doing, so he’s going to let Laurahave the kids and he was going to move back to St. Thomas."
That apparently didn't happen. MORE FROM NBC 17
