WASHINGTON — After a missing Maryland teacher was found dead earlier this week, autopsy findings reveal Laura Wallen was shot in the back of her head, police said Thursday night.
Wallen, 31, of Olney, was found in a shallow grave in Damascus on Wednesday after she was last heard from earlier in September, Montgomery County police said. She was four months pregnant.
Her boyfriend, Tyler Tessier, has been charged with first-degree murder in her death.
Wallen, who taught at Howard County’s Wilde Lake High School in Columbia, did not show up for the first day of classes after Labor Day, even though she had spent weeks preparing. She had not requested a substitute teacher, which worried her family.

I'm amazed at the self-control of the parents at the news conference. I don't think I could resist attacking the monster.
ReplyDeleteWas she getting ready to testify against Hilliary?!
ReplyDeleteGlad she was found - so sad she was found in that state!
It took an autopsy to confirm this? Hell, I could have confirmed that for you.

ReplyDeleteI don't think you could.
Depending on the caliber used, an entrance wound and exit wound can look remarkably similar. Big difference on an autopsy report and evidence for the trial, what direction the bullet came from.
