Police responded to a call of a possible death at a house on Hodgesville Road around 8 p.m. Saturday. When they arrived, police found Fowler’s body in what was an apparent crime scene.
While the woman’s cause of death was not released, authorities described it as “heinous.” source
Authorities located Duncan and after a brief interview about the homicide, arrested him on capital murder charges.
A connection between Duncan and Fowler, if any, was not immediately made clear. The motive in the killing is not known.
Duncan is being held without bond.
