JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — A northeast Florida woman has been charged with murder after police found the decomposing body of her boyfriend on a sealed-in porch at her house.
The Jacksonville Sheriff's Office says 41-year-old Tammy Shereese Wright-Conner was arrested Thursday after the body's discovery.
Authorities say the body was that of 48-year-old Ronald Trotter.
Police Lt. Steve Gallaher told the Florida Times-Union that Trotter went to Wright-Conner's house after an argument with his wife on May 25.
Trotter's body was found on the rickety porch June 10 after neighbors noticed a stench.
Police say the porch had windows sealed with plastic and sheets taped to the walls.
Wright-Conner was not available for comment because she was in custody, and her appointed public defender could not be reached.
