Found Deceased LA - Becky Hostetler-Hendrix, 43, New Orleans, 6 Jan 2022

[Dargon335]

Well Hearty, the coward, has gone and closed his band fb page..lol

Interesting. So his band FB page is gone and he's still not called LE to schedule a meeting, correct?

Remember if you do agree to meet Hearty somewhere do NOT go alone...

Good advice to meet in a public place with other people around. Please take someone else with you as well.

This bring up an interesting question. We know Becky and her vehicle are currently missing, but what happened to Becky's personal items? At the time she was last seen, Becky was living with Hearty on Iberville Street, so logically her personal items (clothing, etc.) would have been there as well. I believe Karen stated Hearty moved out of the house on Iberville Street sometime after Becky went missing. So where are her personal items? Does Hearty still have them?

That's a great point, Dargon. Karen is there any way to get in touch with the landlord for the place on Iberville St to find out what happened to Becky's belongings? And could you go in the apartment?

Just started following this case and wanted to tell Becky's mom that my thoughts are with you. I can't imagine what you're going through. Prayers for you and your family.

 

[Dargon335]

@JenaTaoson thanks for joining the thread. Agreed, we all send best wishes to Becky's mother.

Regarding Becky's possessions, I don't know how many things she had with her when living with Hearty on Iberville St, but if Hearty did move out of there, then what did he do with her possessions, clothes, etc? Did he leave them behind? Throw them away? I don't recall any statements about Hearty offering to return Becky's items to her mother.

I'm wondering if Becky's possessions were in her Highlander when it was last seen on 1/6/22? This was five days before Beale was arrested.

 

[JenaTaoson]

I agree with others about the landlord. You could probably get some info on how quickly he left the place, did he leave without getting a security deposit back, did they notice anything off in the days leading up to her disappearance, etc.

Thanks for the update here. Do we know who Etienne Defeliece is and how he might be related to Becky's disappearance?

ETA: So apparently Hearty has dropped out of sight. A couple of weeks ago Karen indicated he (Hearty) would be in contact with NOPD. Guessing that did not happen.

Etienne Defelice

 

[swedeheart]

He (TA) is still posting on his FB page, as of 2 hours ago. I've got screenshots if needed, but it's basically him telling everyone not to believe what's in the news, with a bunch of jumbled (and heavily redacted) screenshots of his convo with a detective.

 

[karenlpn2000]

Sorry I haven’t been on. Yes Hearty sent emails to the Sargent saying he would go in and talk to him but the Sargent said he never came nor did he set up a time to come in. I can email someone all day saying I would go in but that doesn’t mean anything I’d I don’t do it. His friends that I talked to o FB know where he is but not saying. This is what he told me: so he was threatening me too:

 

[karenlpn2000]

I was talking to him on my daughters FB page. He knew who he was talking to.

 

[Dargon335]

Clearly we know Hearty's connection to Becky, but do we know how Etienne Defelice is possibly involved here? Is he a friend of Hearty?

 

[imstilla.grandma]

It’s been nearly 100 days since New Orleans woman Becky Hendrix was last seen or heard from by her family, but now, new details in the case could lead police to more answers surrounding her disappearance.

On Thursday, Crimestoppers GNO announced 2 people were wanted for questioning in connection to the case.

NOPD is seeking 56-year-old Etienne Defelice and 43-year-old Michael Hearty as the persons of interest in the missing person investigation.

Looks like the detective has emailed Hearty and requested he come down to answer questions, Hearty says he will and doesn't show up .

Ok, I am so happy to see the NOPD is still on this! They have named someone that mom didn't even know about, so that gives me hope that they have some solid leads. Come on, my NOPD dudes!! Find her and hold them accountable! New Orleans is a very small big city. Everyone knows and sees everyone. Someone will know where they are! I am hoping sooner than later!
