Found Deceased NC - Diana Alejandra Keel, 38, car parked at home, Nashville, Nash County, 8 Mar 2019 *arrest*

Crumbs surely they can’t have told daughter in that short time !

 

[MassGuy]

Yes. I was very surprised that she hadn't been cremated.

Me too. I was pleasantly surprised when you pointed out she wasn’t.

That’s murder 101.

Fortunately, it looks like this time he used a gun.

My guess is that he’s got a gun registered to him, that is conveniently missing.

If it’s in that pond, they’ll find it in due course.

This was likely a crime of passion this time, and it doesn’t lend itself to a solid coverup.

How do you know it’s a gun ? I can’t see that thanks

I don’t see that either.

@sloothseeker where did you see that?

 

[whoizzit]

ARRRRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHHH.

Like everyone here, no surprise, but still, profound sadness for Diana and her family.

Gloria didn't mention anything about body being shot during live tv report. Just saying it was found in the woods.

Keel is being brought in for questioning. So is he a POI yet?

10 year old son is ok

WTVD reporting a body has been discovered, shot, matching description of the missing woman.

RIP Diana, my heart is with her daughter, son, and the rest of her family. Her daughter seemed to be very close to and rely heavily on her. Heartbreaking

 

[whoizzit]

Yes. I was very surprised that she hadn't been cremated.

Me too. I was pleasantly surprised when you pointed out she wasn’t.

Not to stereotype bc I am one myself, but I find that many Southerners don't like cremation.

I skew from the norm here, bc I'm going to be cremated. My mother is aghast!

 

[bellesnwhistles]

I was thinking maybe he'd try to set it up to look like suicide or accident, but if she was found shot w no gun around that's pretty hard to explain away

UDPATE: Body hasn’t been ID’d officially as Diana but Sheriff’s Office believes it is her body.

Ha! Because who among us doesn’t have a fear of waking up underground?!

Glad that Elizabeth didn’t have such a fear. Or that this guy wasn’t smart enough to have that done.

Happening now: Diana Keel’s husband - Lynn just arrived at the @NashCountySO. Expecting sheriff to take questions soon. @WNCN

I’m not sure if the service was being offered back in 2006, but according to their website, Wheeler & Woodlief owns and operates their own crematory:

Again, I’m not sure if the option was available 13 years ago.

Ughhh. It’s probably not going to matter in terms of the bigger picture, but Elizabeth deserves justice too if he did kill her.

She very well could have been cremated, and still given a headstone. That’s not uncommon.

 

[whoizzit]

Why can I not find the detail on her being shot on WTVD (have it on DVR), reading Gloria's twitter feed, WRAL (on DVR).

Am I deeeeef or what? Sheriff states no cause of death. Autopsy blah blah blah.

Help?

I think there’s a strong possibility that he doesn't walk out of that building a free man.

 

[cybervampira]

Sheriff says body found in rural area had began to decompose. Definitely foul play.
