• Woman accused of killing man found naked and dismembered under concrete facing new charges (courttv.com) — A woman accused in a gruesome killing in DeFuniak Springs was ultimately tracked down and arrested in Cottondale where she'd been living under an alias. Prosecutors have reduced the charge to second-degree murder but added counts of abusing a dead body and tampering with evidence, and a judge has denied her bond as she awaits a November court date.
