School Principal Murders Pregnant Teacher, 3-Year-Old Girl Solves the Case
The little girl told investigators a spine-chilling story.
Itwas a warm June morning in 2016 when a passerby saw a little girl wandering alone in the parking lot of a Baton Rouge, Louisiana apartment complex. The frightened 3-year-old was dragging a pillow.
When the man asked the bewildered child where her parents were, she led him to an abandoned car nearby. The inside was drenched in blood.
The car belonged to her mother, 40-year-old teacher, Lyntell Washington, who was nowhere to be found. Soon, the street was lined with police cars, and the 3-year-old told investigators a spine-chilling story.
Lyntell was a loving, single mother who was once named “Teacher of the year.” What she wanted more than anything was a good man, someone who would be there for her and her little girl, someone to settle down with.
Lyntell告诉亲人，她终于找到了一个，甚至向他们展示了她的新男友的照片。他是39岁的罗伯特·马克斯（Robert Marks），是她工作的学校的助理校长。Lyntell迅速为罗伯特（Robert）摔倒了，她的女儿叫“先生先生。罗比。”
There was only one problem. Lyntell had no idea that Robert was living a sordid double life. He told her he was in the process of getting a divorce but in reality, Robert lived with his wife of 4 years and their two young children. Between a family, a full-time job, and a secret girlfriend, Robert somehow managed to find the time to have a mistress on the side, too.
在怀有罗伯特的孩子之后，Lyntell发现他仍然结婚。罗伯特变得遥远而寒冷，他不再是关怀，热情的人Lyntell认为自己是。她给他发短信，问他是否要支持她和他们的未出生孩子。Lyntell威胁要告诉罗伯特的妻子他们为期一年的婚外情，这是他迫切希望保持安静的秘密。绝望地谋杀。
On June 14, 2016, cane field workers found the heavily decomposed remains of Lyntell and her 7-month fetus in Iberville Parish, Louisiana.
在与妻子和孩子们度过了一个星期的假期巡游之后，罗伯特带着计划回到家。betway娱乐官网根据互联网搜索和电话记录，他购买了枪，并吸引了Lyntell与他见面。他在她3岁女儿面前的头部开枪打死了她，并告诉孩子她的母亲已经入睡了。可悲的是，确定未出生的女婴立即获得医疗服务可以生存。
Robert abandoned Lyntell’s car in a parking lot 1 block from her home — along with her daughter, whose feet were stained with her blood. She was left alone overnight until a passerby found her and called the police. The brave little girl would ultimately become the prosecution’sstar witness.
Investigator:Who hurt mommy?
Child:Mr. Robbie.
Investigator:Who put blood in the car?
Child:Mr. Robbie.
Investigator:What did you hear when mommy got hurt? With your ears?
Child:我听到了繁荣！
After executing his girlfriend and their unborn child, Robert calledTramica Jackson, his secret mistress, and asked her for a ride. Tramica called the police after she saw a news segment of Robert’s arrest. She testified for the prosecution, claiming Robert told her he was a doctor.
南希·格雷斯（Nancy Grace）采访Robert’s wife, Kala after his arrest. Kala said she loved her husband and didn’t believe he was guilty. A jury disagreed.
On December 17, 2021, Robert Marks was convicted of second-degree murder, second-degree kidnapping, first-degree feticide, aggravated kidnapping of a child, and a slew of other charges. He was subsequently sentenced tolife in prison, without the possibility of parole.
Lyntell Washington is remembered by loved ones as a dedicated teacher and a doting mother who was loyal, kind, and selfless. She adored her students and always went the distance for them. Her daughter, now nine, lives with her father.
