In March 2016, 30-year-old third-grade teacher Jocelyn Peters was found fatally shot in her Central West End apartment while seven months pregnant with a son she planned to name Micah Leigh. Her boyfriend, Cornelius M. Green, discovered the body and called 911. There were no signs of forced entry and no weapon was recovered at the scene.

Investigators say Green, who was then principal of Carr Lane Visual and Performing Arts Middle School and married to another woman, had been leading a double life and told Peters he was divorcing. When attempts to end the pregnancy secretly failed, Green allegedly arranged a murder-for-hire, recruiting Phillip J. Cutler from Muskogee, Oklahoma, and paying $2,500, money taken from a school dance team fundraiser. Cutler is accused of entering the apartment on March 24, 2016, and shooting Peters as she prepared baby shower invitations, using a potato as a makeshift silencer. Green is accused of creating an alibi by traveling to Chicago after giving Cutler keys to his car and Peters’ apartment and then returning to St. Louis.

Does anyone have information about Jocelyn’s last days, the people in her life then, or the circumstances around March 24, 2016?
