Body Identified As Mom Of Girl Found Dead In La.
FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. (AP) — Authorities have confirmed that the body of a woman found in northwestern Arizona is that of a Las Vegas mother whose daughter was found dead in Louisiana.
The remains of 31-year-old Suellen Roberts were discovered last month.
Yavapai County sheriff's spokesman Dwight D'Evelyn said Tuesday that Roberts had a gunshot wound to her head, but there was no definitive cause of death.
Roberts and her daughter were traveling with Thomas Steven Sanders in northern Arizona over the Labor Day weekend.
Sanders had been declared legally dead 16 years ago. He has pleaded not guilty to kidnapping Roberts' 12-year-old daughter, Lexis Roberts.
D'Evelyn says authorities also are looking into whether Sanders is connected to the disappearance and death of Suellen Roberts.
