State Police Investigate Homicide

Yesterday, Louisiana State Police Region 2 detectives were contacted to investigate the death of a female found on Dairy Road in Evangeline Parish.

On May 11, 2010, the Evangeline Parish Sheriff’s Office was contacted about a deceased female found on Dairy Road off LA 29 near Ville Platte. They contacted State Police detectives and requested their assistance with the case.

According to investigators, the body found was identified as 18-year-old Elizabeth Fontenot. Fontenot had been reported missing on May 10, 2010. During the preliminary investigation troopers learned that a car, which had been burned, found near the area where Fontenot’s body was located was registered to a family member of Fontenot. Troopers are waiting for the autopsy report from the Calcasieu Parish Coroner to determine the cause of Fontenot’s death.

The investigation is on going. Investigators are asking anyone with any information to contact State Police at 337-262-3341.
