A suicide note in the pocket of a man who jumped off the Omni Royal Orleans Hotel late Tuesday led police to the grisly scene of his girlfriend’s murder, where they found her charred head in a pot on the stove, her legs and feet baked in the oven and the rest of her dismembered body in trash bag in the refrigerator, according to police and the couple’s landlord.

The man, Zackery Bowen, a tall man in his mid 20s with long blond hair, claimed in the note to have killed his girlfriend, Adrian “Addie” Hall, on Oct. 5, according to police. Hall was also in her mid 20s.

In the five-page note, Bowen claimed he strangled Hall in the bathtub, then dismembered her body before taking it in pieces to the kitchen, police said. An autopsy conducted today shows that Hall was in fact manually strangled, police said. It also appears that Hall’s body was cut up after she died, police said.

“He appeared to clean up the bathroom a lot after he did it,” one officer said

It also appears that Hall’s body was cut up

Was their first clue the head in the pot or the legs in the oven?

A five page note? The ramblings of a truly disturbed man.

Some holdouts seem intent on keeping alive the distinct and wild spirit of this city. In the French Quarter, Addie Hall and Zackery Bowen found a unusual way to make sure that police officers regularly patrolled their house. Ms. Hall, 28, a bartender, flashed her breasts at the police vehicles that passed by, ensuring a regular flow of traffic.

Addie Hall and Zackery Bowen prepared dinner in a darkened New Orleans Wednesday night. They've stayed at Ms. Hall's French Quarter apartment since Katrina struck and have no plans to evacuate.

Just goes to show that a truly evil person is tough to spot. To me, the guy on the right looks like the creepy, dangerous one.

The article says 'in his mid twenties'.

Might be the guy standing. Unreal.

[1curiousmind]

Yes, it is him. That's what I'm sayin', he looks like a normal avg Joe. Sickening.

Even more frightening...

Jim Wilson/The New York Times Addie Hall and Zackery Bowen prepared dinner on Wednesday evening in Ms. Hall's darkened apartment in the French Quarter. Both Ms. Hall and Mr. Bowen, who work in the area, stayed as Hurricane Katrina approached New Orleans. They have neither a car nor any plans to evacuate despite a mandatory order to leave.
