Louis Coleman To Appear In Boston Court Monday

BOSTON — The man who federal authorities said kidnapped a Boston woman and was pulled over on I-95 in Delaware with her body in the truck of his car is scheduled to appear in Boston court Monday to face federal charges.

Louis D. Coleman III, 32, of Providence, R.I., is charged with one count of kidnapping, resulting in death. That federal charge faces a mandatory life sentence, and is also death-penalty eligible, if convicted. He was in a Delaware court last week before he was extradited to Massachusetts.

He is scheduled to appear in federal court in Boston Monday at 2 p.m. UPDATE: With Jassy Correia's Family Watching, Coleman Faces Judge

Jassy Correia, a young mother, was kidnapped while leaving the Venu Night Club in Boston Feb. 24, where she was celebrating her 23rd birthday, authorities said.

Her case - just weeks after another Boston woman was kidnapped - garnered national attention and set off a multi-state manhunt once Coleman was identified as the kidnapping suspect.

Her body was found five days later in the trunk of Coleman's car inside a suitcase. U.S. Attorney Andrew Lelling said police found her body naked, bound, bruised and covered in what was believed to be in baking soda.
