Triple Murder Arrest in Alabama

0:00Authorities in Mobile County, Alabama, announced an arrest, Tuesday in the murders of a mother and her two children found dead in Wilmer, back on April 20. The victims were Lisa Ferguson, 46, her daughter Casaya-Luca, 17, and son Thomas Cordell, 12. All three were bound and killed in brutal fashion inside their home. The scene was grim, with two victims having their throat slid and one of the kids nearly decapitated. They were found in separate rooms, tied up with zip ties or flex cuffs. Casaya was eight months pregnant at the time, but her 18-month-old daughter was unharmed inside the house. The father of the toddler and unborn child spotted odd activity on Casaya's phone through a tracking app late that night, working offshore. He got worried about her pregnancy and alerted family, who made the horrific discovery. This shook the tight-knit South Alabama community to its core. Many members describe Lisa as incredibly kind and a top-notch mom. Thomas as a sweet-wild kid good at everything, and Casaya as a fun, responsible.
