HANCOCK COUNTY, Miss. -

Deputy Chief Don Bass with the Hancock County Sheriff’s Office said they are checking nearby businesses along the Mississippi coast in an attempt to get a break in the case.

Sanchez did not waive extradition, which means she will fight to avoid being brought to Mississippi where investigators wish to question her.

Speaks was arrested and charged with failing to register as a sex offender after he was convicted of a sex crime involving a juvenile in North Carolina in 2003. He remains in the St. Tammany Parish Jail until his scheduled court appearance on Friday morning.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Hancock County Sheriff’s Office at 228-466-6900 or the New Orleans Police Department at 504-821-2222.

Her bail was set at $1,500.

Jaren Lockhart’s family speaks out for the first time

“It’s been killing me the last few days,” said Donna Lockhart, the victim’s mother.

A mother is shaken to her core and a father is numb after living through the unthinkable for any parent: the gruesome death of a daughter. Lockhart’s dismembered body started washing ashore late last week on several Mississippi beaches.

“Everybody says be strong, but it’s hard to be strong,” Donna added.

“It’s like someone just ripped your heart out of your body, you know,” explained Pete Singer, the victim’s father. “You just go numb. You go dead on the inside.”

Her brother, Lance, who Lockhart lovingly called “Bubba,” said the worst part for him is he couldn’t be there to protect his little sister like he’s done all his life.

“Someone bothered her, she would always say, ‘Bubba, come help me,’” Lance Lockhart said. “You want to know what’s running through my head? That’s running through my head. ‘Bubba, help me,’ and I ain’t there.”

NEW ORLEANS – A surveillance or security video shows murder victim Jaren Lockhart with Margaret Sanchez and Terry Speaks in Mississippi at a point in time after a video showed the three of them leaving a Bourbon Street strip club together, according to the Hancock County Sheriff’s Office.

Word of the new video by the sheriff’s office comes as the investigation into the murder of Lockhart, a New Orleans woman whose body parts were found on Mississippi beaches, continued Thursday with a court appearance by Sanchez, one of two people described as a suspect in the case.

The new video hasn’t been released yet.
