Lynette Williams Glass, a 42-year-old Black woman, and her husband Herbert Glass, 58, were newlyweds of about a month when both were found dead in Lake Pontchartrain. They were last seen alive on July 7, 2010; their bodies were discovered by a construction crew on July 9, 2010. Both had been shot in the head execution-style, bound with duct tape, and dumped in the water. Their Toyota Camry was found torched at an interstate exit the day before the bodies were recovered.

Investigators linked the couple’s killings to a separate double homicide on June 17, 2010, in which Hermania Ellsworth and Charles Davis were shot in a vehicle that then crashed into a tree in front of the Glasses’ home. It was reported Lynette may have been the first person on that scene and had contacted the victims’ relatives, a detail that helped lead authorities to consider the two incidents related. After years without arrests, renewed attention in 2021 prompted charges: Dernell Nelson was arrested in April 2021 in connection with the June shootings and named a possible suspect in the Glass murders, and Lee Williams and Zetonio Lightfoot were also charged with two counts of first-degree murder for the deaths of both couples.

Does anyone have information about Lynette’s movements around July 7–9, 2010, or about the burned Camry’s discovery at the interstate exit?
