Few details: Covington police have offered few details about the gruesome discovery Monday of two bodies, both burned behind recognition behind a downtown business. The news conference scheduled for this morning was postponed, as the coroner’s office continues trying to make a formal ID on the victims. The man accused in the case, meanwhile, will remain jailed without bond, Sara Pagones reports. Interested in news from St. Tammany and the north shore?

Name game: Walter L. Cohen has a storied history among New Orleans schools. And its very active alumni association wants to keep the historic name alive, thank you very much. That might become a big deal as the New Orleans school system moves charters around, Marie Fazio reports.
Weather watch: Tornadoes and hail are possible today. If you have hatches, batten them down, friends.
Now, some good news: On a day with a lot of heavy news, here’s something that might make you feel a little better. Two young girls and their golden retriever, Artemis, were lost in the deep woods around Folsom Monday night and fear spread through the tiny community. Fortunately, this story has a happy ending.
