A Jefferson Parish woman and a River Ridge man were arrested and accused of first-degree murder in connection with a 30-year-old cold case involving the death of an infant.
Inga Carriere was arrested in Jefferson Parish on February 28. She was booked as a fugitive out of Picayune.
Andrew Carriere was arrested on March 9 in Galliano.
Both were booked into the Jefferson Parish Correctional Center.
The Louisiana State Police worked with detectives in Mississippi on the investigation.
According to State Police, on April 17, 1992, an infant girl’s body was found inside a garbage bag. The baby’s cause of death was due to smothering, and the case was classified as a homicide.
Through re-tested evidence, along with DNA and fingerprints, the infant’s parents were able to be identified as Andrew and Inga Carriere.
State Police says the investigation is ongoing and more arrests could be made.
The Picayune Police Department posted the information to social media following Thursday’s arrests.
