The Lunch Line: What led police to a grisly discovery. Gators, fish caught in diesel spill

By Bob Warren


Shocking discovery: Folks are still talking about the shocking discovery in New Orleans of a dismembered body inside a freezer. Here’s how New Orleans police came to find the headless torso Tuesday and why they’ve arrested a man in connection with their investigation.

And here’s a story from today on the missing woman at the center of the case.


Spill's deadly aftermath: Dozens of alligators were hurt and thousands of fish killed after a corroded pipeline burst near Chalmette and leaked more than 300,000 gallons of diesel spill into the wetlands. Here’s the latest.


FBI scrutiny: Court filings reveal new details in the case of a federal agent who was arrested in St. Tammany Parish over some emails he wrote that were critical of the sheriff’s office investigation of a high-profile murder. Our Sara Pagones and WWL-TV’s Katie Moore have the details here.


Mardi Gras for All: Our second annual "Mardi Gras for All, Y’all" broadcast is tonight. The one-night event is an ultimate guide to Mardi Gras. Here's how you can join the party tonight at 7. 


Hope you enjoyed the Lunch Line. Thanks for taking a break with us today.
