“Louis Coleman Extradited to Boston for Future Court Hearings in Fatal Kidnapping”
“[SBM]
Appearing Monday before a federal magistrate in Delaware, 32-year-old Louis D. Coleman III of Providence, Rhode Island, waived his right to a hearing and did not contest a prosecution request that he be detained pending removal to Massachusetts.
A spokeswoman for the Delaware Department of Correction later confirmed that Coleman had been extradited.

‘The federal charges are being brought because of the multi-state nature of the crime and the penalties available in federal court,’ said U.S. Attorney for Massachusetts Andrew Lelling. ‘And they're being brought here because Ms. Correia is from here, was taken from here, and justice should be done here if at all possible.’
[SBM]
While no murder charge was announced Sunday, Lelling said, ‘I think there is probable cause to believe he [Coleman] killed Ms. Correia.’
A number of new details were revealed about the case on Sunday, with Lelling announcing that it appears preliminarily that Correia died from blunt force trauma and strangulation. Lelling added that
while only a preliminary medical examination has been done at this point, it does not appear Correia was sexually assaulted.

Lelling said reports that Correia's body was mutilated or dismembered are not correct.

Some press outlets have reported that the body was mutilated, dismembered, that is not true. Though other items in the car did include, a duffle bag, a new pair of handled loppers, the heavy tool used to cut down thick branches, a new pair of pliers, garbage bags, a new gas canister, a butane lighter, safety glasses, work towels, and work gloves, and disinfectant wipes,’ Lelling said.” (BBM)
