FRENCH SETTLEMENT, La. (Crime Library) — Sheriff's deputies in Livingston Parish on Saturday booked convicted kidnapper Mark Sterling Lewis with one count of second-degree murder for allegedly killing 13-year-old Kaitlin Aydell.
Searchers found Kaitlin's body on Feb. 3 partially submerged in a bayou in neighboring Ascension Parish. The seventh grader had been missing for two days after having last been seen getting off of a school bus in the afternoon and walking home.
Her mother spoke to her by telephone shortly after Kaitlin got home, but when she called her daughter again a little while later, Kaitlin didn't answer. Her mother became concerned and went home to check on Kaitlin but couldn't find her.
