Mom of slain teen Michele ‘Luna’ Jackson found accused killer ‘covered in blood’ with her daughter’s scooter
A missing teenage girl has been found dead in Iowa hours after her mom and sister saw the suspected kil💃ler carrying her scooter while “covered in blood,” according to authorities.
Michele “Luna” Jackson, 17, was reဣported missing from her tiny hometown o🥂f Farnhamville late Sunday, with her mother and sister rushing out to look for her themselves, .
While looking, the pair stumbled across Nathaniel Bevers-McGivney, who was “covered in apparent blood” and holding some of the missing teen’s belongings, including her scooter, according to court documents obtained by the outlet.
Bevers-McGivney refused to talk to cops about why he was covered in bl🌺ood, and only asked to speak to a lawyer, the court docs ♑said.
He was taken to Carroll Cou🅷nty Jail while the♈ search continued for the then-still-missing teen.
Jackson’s remains were found in a field shortly be🐬fore 9 a.m. Monday, the authorities said.
The location of her body suggested that Bevers-McGivney intentionally hid her remains to con꧋ceal a🧸 crime, the criminal complaint noted.
The teen’s cause of death was not released, though sꦜhe died from a 🍨“senseless act of violence.”
Bevers-McGivney was subsequently charged with first-degree murder, as well as abuse of a corpse — failure to disclose a known location.
He is due in court for a p൲reliminary hearing on Oct. 4.
Luna Jackson was a junior at Southeast Valley High School, her obituary said. A private funeral service is𓆏 scheduled for Thursday at a funeral home in Gowrie.
