TABERNACLE — Eight months after a Trenton woman’s bullet-ridden corpse was discovered in woods in Tabernacle, police have named the victim’s Narcotics Anonymous sponsor as a suspect in her death.

Loraine Hawkins, 47, of Trenton, is the second suspect charged in the death of 47-year-old city resident Lisa Armstrong, State Police said Monday.

Police previously arrested Terrance Patterson, 37, of Trenton, four days after the Oct. 8 discovery of Armstrong’s body in the woods along Route 206. Armstrong died from multiple gunshot wounds to the head, police said.

The investigation suggested Patterson had a co-conspirator and that they also robbed Armstrong. State Police arrested Hawkins Friday at her Trenton home, charging her with felony murder, robbery and kidnapping.

She is being held at the Burlington County Jail in lieu of $500,000 full-cash bail.

I cannot believe this article below actually tells people that might think they are a stalker, to go to AA meetings and Al-anon meetings! I mean we already have the courts mandating stalkers to 12 step programs. So before you go to an AA or NA meeting, or a 12 step based co-dependency support group (CoDA) realize you could be sitting next to a stalker thanks to our courts and others who think it is a fine idea!

” It is a form of harassment and can lead to death. If you have stalking tendencies, there are things you can do to prevent yourself from being a stalker as well. The majority of them have an obsessive pattern which they lose control of. They become co-dependent upon the person, which means they believe they cannot exist without the other person. Going to a Co-Dependency group can help as can going to AA or Al-Anon. Stalkers usually self medicate with drugs and/or drinking as well.”
