Oct. 20, 2006 — - New Orleans is still reeling from news this week that a bartender reportedly strangled his girlfriend, dismembered her body, and cooked some of the body parts on his stove before jumping to his death.
Now, it turns out, he was an Iraq war hero.
That's just one of the tragic ironies and mysteries of the suspected murder-suicide that has shaken residents of Crescent City.
Police said the mystery began on Tuesday when the body of Zachary Bowen, 28, was found on top of a parking garage.
A suicide note in his right, front pocket led cops to a grisly crime scene at his apartment in the French Quarter.
According to news reports, two pots were sitting on the stove, one containing a woman's head and another holding her hands and feet. Police believe the body parts belong to Bowen's girlfriend, Addie Hall.
In the oven, detectives reportedly found turkey-basting trays containing legs and arms sprinkled with seasoning.
