In a shocking turn of events, the body of Lyntell Washington, a 40-year-old teacher who was five months pregnant, has been discovered in Iberville Parish, Louisiana. The coroner has ruled her death a homicide due to a single gunshot wound to the head, and tragically, her un𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐧 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥 did not survive. Washington had been missing since last Thursday, with her three-year-old daughter found wandering alone in a parking lot, barefoot and traumatized, just days before.
Authorities have arrested Robert Marx, the assistant principal at Washington’s school, in connection with her murder. The investigation has unveiled a disturbing web of deceit and betrayal; Marx, who was still married, had been in a secret relationship with Washington. The affair turned deadly when Washington discovered Marx had been lying about his marital status and took steps to confront him, threatening to expose their relationship to his wife.
As police pieced together the evidence, they learned that the little girl had revealed to a bystander that “Mr. Robbie did the blood,” pointing investigators toward Marx. Further investigation unveiled troubling patterns in Marx’s behavior, including a chilling search history on his devices regarding firearms and 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥 support issues just days before Washington’s murder.
The timeline escalated quickly, leading to Marx’s arrest shortly after Washington’s body was found, buried in a drainage ditch. He faces charges of second-degree murder and fetocide, among others. The trial is set to begin soon, with the community left reeling from the senseless loss of a beloved teacher and her un𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐧 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥. This harrowing case highlights the tragic consequences of betrayal and the urgent need for justice for Lyntell Washington and her family.
