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.
