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

"Why go through all the trouble to kill, chop up, and cook your girlfriend if you're just going to off yourself?"
So you'll make a more interesting stop along the "ghost tour" of New Orleans?
Neither the perp nor the victim were New Orleans natives. Both moved there last year.
I'd love to hear y'all argue that they were both normal until New Orleans screwed them up, though.
So this psycho served in Iraq and Afghanistan, then lived through Katrina. The DUers have already spoken: Bush's fault
He probably did it when he was on drugs, came down later, saw the mess, and offed himself.
Nah, I'll just argue that it brings the "screwed up-ness" to the surface.
Howdy Xena ;^)
"I'd love to hear y'all argue that they were both normal until New Orleans screwed them up, though."
I will argue that places like NO and SanFran ATTRACT nutcases.
In that way, they're useful, as they drain the rest of the country of the nutcases. Self-quaratine, really.
What an idiot. Everyone knows that the head should be baked, while the hands and feet should be broiled.
Psycho psycho took an axe and gave Miss Addie 40 whacks. When he saw what he had done, he gave his own self 41.

“He appeared to clean up the bathroom a lot after he did it,” one officer said
My hypothesis: All the competent journalists moved to Houston.
I would think the hands (being lean, oft-used muslces) should not be broiled, as they would be tough.
But I defer to experience.
If y'all think San Francisco and New Orleans are weirdo hubs, you need to go to Austin. Every state has a freak magnet. Thankfully, Texas's isn't Houston.
(I apologize for coming across edgy and defensive . . . it's because I love New Orleans and am frustrated with having to defend it to those who've never been there. If you've been there, of course, you're welcome to your opinion and more power to you.)
So you cooked your girlfriend and ate her ping.
I wouldn't accuse 'em of that. H-town's journalistic standards are as embarrassingly low as ever.
"Texas's isn't Houston."
Yeah, Montrose is the just place to raise kids.
And just where is her ping?
Let's talk Savannah.
I usually wait until the first snowfall... they're less wormy.
I've never been there . . . my mental picture is pretty antebellum, although realistically I'm pretty sure you don't have scads of hoop-skirted belles and dashing cavaliers wandering the streets.
So that's where Georgia's oddities go to practice?
