(AP) – A city in the northwestern corner of Arkansas is in
mourning after the death of a high school teacher in a Florida triple homicide
in which authorities say the suspect tried to cover up the deaths with a house
fire.The Arkansas Democrat-Gazette reports that Linda Woods was a teacher at
Heritage High School in the Ozark Mountains city of Rogers, Arkansas. Her body,
along with those of her 9-year-old nephew and her sister, Chrissy Hughes, were
found in the charred ruins of the house Hughes shared with her husband, Tony
Hughes.

The sheriff’s office in Brevard County, Florida, said Tony Hughes is suspected
of killing the three and torching their house. Authorities are searching for him
after determining initially he may not have committed suicide, as initially
suspected.
