Alabama Mother, Pregnant Teen and Boy Found Bound and Killed as Police Hunt Multiple Assailants

Investigators say evidence at the ransacked Wilmer home points to more than one attacker searching for something.

Overview

  • The Mobile County Sheriff's Office, which found the victims early Monday after a Life360 alert led family to the house, is investigating the killings as a triple homicide.
  • Authorities identified the dead as 46-year-old Lisa Gail Fields, 17-year-old Keziah Arionna Luker, and 12-year-old Thomas Cordelle Jr., each found in separate rooms with hands bound by zip ties or flex cuffs.
  • Officials said Fields was stabbed, Luker was shot, and Cordelle’s throat was cut nearly to decapitation, while Luker’s 18-month-old child was found unharmed in the home.
  • Sheriff Paul Burch said the home was left in disarray in a way that suggests a search, and investigators do not view the case as domestic in nature.
  • Detectives report positive leads but no arrests, and the district attorney will decide whether Luker’s unborn child adds a separate charge once a suspect is in custody.
