On August 16, 2019, police in Saint Louis responded to reports of a foul odor coming from a pickup truck parked at North Market and 11th streets. Officers found two bodies hidden under a tarp in the truck bed; both had suffered fatal gunshot wounds. One victim was identified as 62-year-old Mark Kuhlenberg and the other as 41-year-old Toni Washburn.

Investigators established a possible domestic motive. Washburn had previously been in a relationship with 63-year-old Willie Little, who shared children with her; Kuhlenberg was reported to be Washburn’s new partner. Little was arrested and charged with two counts of first-degree murder and two counts of armed criminal action and held without bond.

By February 2020 those charges were dismissed after a judge found Little had been detained nearly six months without a preliminary hearing or grand jury indictment, a delay ruled to violate Missouri Supreme Court rules. Does anyone have information about Mark or Toni’s movements in Saint Louis in the days before August 16, 2019?
