From the appeal of Larry John Snyder: On July 21, 2009, Phillip Edwards discovered the decomposing body of Davina Chapman under the “four-mile bridge” of U.S. Highway 190 in Pointe Coupee Parish. Edwards was a member of a group of individuals searching for Chapman after she had been reported missing several days earlier. 
An autopsy later revealed that Chapman suffered numerous lacerations to her liver and spleen. Those injuries caused an accumulation of blood in Chapman’s abdominal cavity and ultimately proved fatal. A homicide investigation was initiated. Defendant, Davina’s live-in boyfriend and the last person seen with her, became a suspect.
