After Arresting Man For DUI Police Discover Tortured, Dead Woman In Backseat



Story out of Anchorage, Alaska:

A late night DUI crash turned into a homicide investigation after police found a dead woman in the back of a vehicle Monday night. Charging documents against the driver, 34-year-old Benjamin Wilkins, revealed the woman had been severely injured and killed prior to the crash.

Wilkins was detained on suspicion of intoxication after failing field sobriety tests, according to charging documents. As he was being transported to the Anchorage Correctional Complex, officers at the scene of the crash located 30-year-old Jacqueline Goodwin’s body hidden under a sleeping bag in the back seat of the vehicle.

Her wrists were bound with zip ties and a garbage bag had been placed over her head, charging documents stated. She was still warm to the touch and, in an effort to help her, police took the bag off her head. Her mouth was covered with tape and zip ties, and zip ties had been stuffed down her throat.

Unable to establish an airway or a pulse, medics declared her dead at the scene. Cont.
