Case History
An Arkansas couple convicted of kidnapping and raping a Northeast Louisiana University student, are suspects in her death. Joseph McKinney, of North Little Rock, Arkansas is serving a life sentence plus 50 years, and his companion, Sylvia Grover, is serving a 45-year sentence for the September 17, 1994 abduction of an 18-year-old woman from the Super Kmart Center in West Monroe. The girl was taken to Caldwell Parish, where she was raped and her throat was slashed several times. She survived.

Several months before the West Monroe kidnapping, workers picking up trash near the intersection of Interstate 20 and Louisiana 602, about two miles east of Tallulah, found this victim's  bones near a culvert.
After McKinney and Grover were arrested in the West Monroe kidnapping, Madison Parish officials questioned them about the dead woman. After the questioning, there is no question they are somehow linked to the dead woman.
