A North Carolina woman will face charges in Texas for dismembering a woman five years ago.
Media outlets reported that Amanda Hayes will go to Texas to face charges in the death of 27-year-old Laura Ackerson.
AP said that Ackerson was last seen in Raleigh in July 2011. Her dismembered remains were found in a creek outside of Houston 11 days after she disappeared.
Prosecutors said that Hayes’ and her ex-husband, Grant Ruffin Hayes, killed Ackerson at their Raleigh apartment during a custody dispute over Grant’s two oldest children. Grant Hayes was convicted of first-degree-murder and is serving a life sentence.
The Associated Press reported that Hayes was convicted in 2014 of second-degree murder in Ackerson’s death. The new charges will deal with the disposal of the body.
