An Iowa woman was charged Tuesday after a Minneapolis murder victim's body was found in a car she was driving when she crashed on a southern Minnesota interstate over the weekend.
Margot G. Lewis, 32, of New Liberty, Iowa, was charged in Olmsted County District Court in Rochester with felony interference with a dead body in connection with the death of 35-year-old Liara Tsai.(snip)
Lewis, who was arrested about 7 a.m. Saturday at the scene of the crash on eastbound Interstate 90 south of Eyota, appeared in court Tuesday morning and remains jailed in lieu of $1 million bail. Court records do not yet list an attorney for her. She is due back in court July 5.
The Southern Minnesota Regional Medical Examiner's Office identified Tsai on Tuesday as the victim but has yet to disclose how she was killed. A Minneapolis police officer's report filed Saturday night classified Tsai's death as a case of murder, noting that the weapon involved was a knife or other "cutting instrument." The complaint noted that a deputy at the scene saw large wound to Tsai's neck near the carotid artery.

The deputy opened the car's passenger-side back door and saw Tsai's body on the folded-down seat. It was wrapped in a bed sheet, blanket, futon-style mattress and a tarp. She was cold to the touch.(snip)
Upon her being booked into jail, Lewis "did not respond audibly to detention staff or investigators," the complaint continued. Court filings Tuesday afternoon disclosed that she has asked for assistance from a sign language interpreter. A Rochester television station reported that Lewis only communicated with her defense counsel "via writing or sign language, having taken a spiritual vow of silence, according to the attorneys present."

Attack on self sometimes results in suicide or an attack and/or murder of innocent victims.

That's a sign to immediately find another job.

That’s the great thing about OTR trucking. The driver is often on the road at least a week or more. Over 5 1/2 years with that company, I probably only saw sheman in the truck yard a couple times a year, and only had a conversation one time.
Dispatch gave sheman my ph# for any tips about a west coast load I had done. That’s when sheman explained that the surgery had wrecked his health. But observing the ‘rule’, I said nothing. I did give sheman a couple of Bible tracts when in the truck lot about a year before the cutup. He had been on hormone for a couple years by then. Really pathetic situation.
You took a personal risk to love your neighbor in Christ's name. Well done thou good and faithful servant! FReegards!
