LAKE CHARLES, La. — A 26-year-old woman originally from Slidell is identified as the fourth victim of a quadruple killing in a trailer park near Lake Charles.

Calcasieu Parish Sheriff Tony Mancuso said Tuesday that Jessica Eugene is believed to have been sharing the mobile home with 28-year-old Crystal Dawn Fruge.

Two men were also killed: 19-year-old Terry Lynn Banks and 29-year-old Kendrick Warren Lavergne, both of Lake Charles. Mancuso has refused to say how they were killed, but said it probably was before Monday, when the bodies were found.

Sheriff’s spokeswoman Kim Myers says deputies are waiting for a coroner’s report on time of death.

Investigators are looking for a dark blue 2000 Ford Explorer XLT registered in Lauderdale County, Miss.
