NEW ORLEANS (WVUE) - New developments this evening in the unclassified death of a 43-year-old Lakeview woman, whose body was found two blocks from her home in the summer of 2019.
The family of Jessica Easterly Durning cries out for answers, which they say have been too few and far between.
Near a quiet dead-end corner in Lakeview, in August 2019, the family of Jessica Easterly Durning got confirmation of their worst fears.
“The very first place we stopped, 2 1/2 blocks away from where she lived with Justin we found her,” said her sister Amanda Barnes.
It’s been over a year since Louisiana woman Jessica Easterly Durning was found deceased less than a mile away from her home. Her sister vows to never give up until she gets to the bottom of what happened to her.
Jessica was reported missing on August 14, 2019, after her husband, Justin Durning Jr., contacted one of her friends and claimed he couldn’t find his wife. Jessica’s sister, Audrey, told CrimeOnline that Durning messaged Jessica’s friend Maria Creel and claimed he hadn’t heard from Jessica in a few days.
Durning reportedly sent messages to Maria from Jessica’s phone.
