NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 18 (UPI) -- A suicide note in the pocket of a man who jumped off a New Orleans hotel has led police to the dismembered body of the man's girlfriend.
Police say Zackery Bowen claimed in the note to have killed his girlfriend, Adrian "Addie" Hall, Oct. 5. He died after jumping off the Omni Royal Orleans Hotel late Tuesday, the New Orleans Times-Picayune reported.
The newspaper said the woman's charred head was found in a pot on the stove in the apartment the couple shared in the French Quarter. The woman's legs and feet were found baked in the oven and the rest of her dismembered body was in a trash bag in the refrigerator, police told the newspaper.
In the five-page note, Bowen claimed he strangled Hall in the bathtub, then dismembered her body before taking it in pieces to the kitchen, police said.
Police said Bowen was from Los Angeles "but had lived in the New Orleans area for quite a while," the newspaper said.
