Latasha Norman’s Boyfriend, Arrested and Charged for Murder, Leads Police to Her Body


The body of a Jackson State University student missing since Nov. 13 has been found, and her boyfriend arrested and charged with murder, police said Thursday.

Latasha Norman, a 20-year-old accounting student from Greenville, Mississippi, was found dead in a wooded area on Brown Street near County Line Road in Jackson, said Sgt. Jeffrey Scott, spokesman for the Jackson Police Department.

“The agencies involved in this case worked very hard,” Scott told BlackAmericaWeb.com. "Regrettably, it came to this outcome."

Norman’s boyfriend, 24-year-old Stanley Dwayne Cole, is in the Jackson jail, being held without bond in connection with the death, Scott said. He did not give a motive for the murder.
Cole was arrested Thursday morning when he appeared in a Pearl, Mississippi courtroom on charges of simple battery involving an earlier incident with Norman, authorities said.
Investigators questioned Cole several hours, Scott said. Based on information from the interviews, authorities were able to locate the body, he said.

Cole also was a student at Jackson State, according to Anthony Dean, university spokesman.

NVDL: It bears noting that a heck of a lot of murders are perpetrated by spurned lovers. Quite a scary irony, that the person who start off loving might eventually lead to your early demise. Choose wisely. In this story, Lotz murder: Boyfriend not guilty - the question is (as in the case of the OJ Simpson murder), if the prime suspect is not guilty, who is? Hearing him - Fred van der Vyver - saying he was glad 'the truth' came out seemed a bit too trite for someone supposedly innocent.
