Junk In The Trunk


"EVERGREEN, AL - A Georgia man killed himself at an interstate rest stop in Alabama after killing his estranged wife and putting her body in the trunk of her car, authorities said.

"Conecuh County sheriff's deputies found the bodies of Scottie and Jessica Murphy of Augusta, Ga., on Tuesday at a rest stop on Interstate 65 about 78 miles southwest of Montgomery.

"Jessica Murphy, 30, had been missing since Saturday when she failed to show up for work at The Augusta Chronicle, where she worked in the newspaper's advertising department handling wedding announcements, obituaries and birth notices.

"Conecuh County Chief Deputy Tyrone Boykin said employees at the rest stop near Evergreen called police after a man parked there, put a gun to his chin and pulled the trigger.

"Investigators identified the man as Scottie Murphy. They found Jessica Murphy's body in the trunk of the car he was driving - his wife's Kia Rio."

  1. I understand that you are trying to be witty with your play on words, but I happened to have known Jessica and she surely was not "junk" in the trunk; totally disrespectful to a victim of domestic violence.
