This poor girl went to my alma mater. They've been talking all about it in the local news. At first the boyfriend wasn't even a suspect. Why didn't the smoking pit for two days straight get the cops to investigate? Amazing and truly disturbing...
Grisly details end search plans for A&M student

Harris County Sheriff Tommy Thomas announced Saturday night that there will be no search for the body of Tynesha Stewart, the 19-year-old Texas A&M University student who is thought to have been slain March 15.
"There are no remaining body parts," Thomas said at a news conference. "We have determined through this investigation that the defendant dismembered the victim and burned her body parts. There is no body to be found. Based on that information, there will be no search. The family is aware of this, and they understand."
Thomas, who called on local media to give the Stewart family privacy, said Timothy Wayne Shepherd burned Stewart's body in two barbecue grills on his patio at his apartment in the 17700 block of Red Oak in northwest Harris County.
When investigators examined Shepherd's apartment, the bathroom had been scoured almost completely clean with ammonia. Two specks of blood were the only evidence found, detectives said.
Stewart was last seen March 15 and was reported missing March 19. The next day the Harris County Sheriff's Office homicide division launched its investigation.
Shepherd was interviewed for 10 hours Wednesday. After being released, he contacted community activist Quanell X, who persuaded Shepherd to tell him what happened to Stewart. He then led authorities to the garbage bin where he claimed to have placed Stewart's body.
That same day, Shepherd was charged with murder and about 11 that night, investigators say, he confessed to strangling Stewart. On Thursday, the sheriff's office announced it would not conduct a search in a landfill for Stewart's body but seemed to reverse itself Friday when it said it would proceed with one.
Later Friday, investigators said Shepherd may have dismembered her body. And on Saturday, the sheriff announced there would be no search because all the remains had been burned.
Shepherd's neighbors said Saturday that he was barbecuing at all hours of the day, for days at a time, at his apartment, No. 224.
James Hebert, 18, often played video games and barbecued with his "nice" next-door neighbor. In fact, they cooked out together so frequently Hebert kept his grill at Shepherd's.
But starting March 15, he noticed Shepherd was cooking — on his grill and on Hebert's pit — "nonstop" for two days.
This time, however, Shepherd hadn't invited him over, nor did he share.
When he asked for some of what he was cooking, Shepherd refused, saying it was for a wedding.
On March 16 about 7:45 p.m., Hebert and his roommate, Cithara Gomez, became alarmed when they looked over and saw dark-colored smoke billowing from Shepherd's patio.
When a firefighter and Harris County deputy arrived at the apartment, Shepherd quickly told them he had everything under control.
"He (Shepherd) came to the door real quick," said Hebert, who said he had seen Stewart at Shepherd's apartment many times. "His face was real sweaty."
Hebert, who gave a statement to detectives Saturday, said that during the weekend, he noticed his grill, and Shepherd's smoker, had disappeared from Shepherd's patio.
Dionne Whitaker, 31, whose patio is directly across from Shepherd's patio, said Saturday that she saw Shepherd carry the grill and the smoker to the garbage bin on March 17 or March 18.
Whitaker said she assumed Shepherd was throwing them away because he "burnt them up" when whatever he was cooking started "blazing," with fire nearly reaching the roof of his patio, she said.
Whitaker, who was interviewed by investigators, said Saturday that when she learned Shepherd may have been burning body parts, she was deeply disturbed.
"I wanted to vomit," she said.
Whitaker's husband, Louis Evans, who also gave a statement, was alarmed the first time he saw the pit ablaze. When it happened a few more times, he became suspicious.
"At first I thought he was careless," Evan said. "You'd be careless once. But you wouldn't do it again. He could have set the building on fire. There is other people's property I didn't know what was going on."
The sheriff said the five-day investigation of the killing, followed by days of blistering criticism of the department for its initial decision not to conduct a search in a landfill for Stewart's body, was "one of the toughest things I've ever been through."
Tim Miller, the director of Texas Equusearch, which had hoped to begin assisting in a search of an Atascocita-area landfill next week, said he was deeply saddened the group would not be able to return Stewart's body to her family.
"We did everything we could," Miller said. "It just wasn't meant to be."

Proper seasoning is probably a must in this kind of cooking.
Sick! This is really sad.
If I die, I want to be BBQ'd afterwards so satan can eat me with french fries.

Is this guy any relation to Kenny Wayne Sheppard?
I do too. A parents' nightmare come true to have that happen to their child. I heard about this from my friends down there and it's awful!
I think it's amazing that nobody called the cops, or fire department and just let that go for days like that. That is a horrid smell that stays in your mind forever.

Yeah, the smell must have been disgusting...and I can't imagine the guy cutting her up into pieces the size of meat...it's just too...unbearable to think of really... :(
Also, what about the smell? The hair, yes, that could be a very bad smell but if he did that at night, know one would ever no. Has anyone ever smelt a burning body? Does it smell radically different from anything else that's grilled...like a whole pig?
