The decomposing body of 52-year-old Linda Damm, a Lafayette single mother, was found stuffed in the back of a Subaru wagon parked in her garage as long as a month after police believe she was stabbed multiple times in the neck and killed. The grisly discovery led to the arrest of the victim's daughter, Tess Damm, 15; the girl's boyfriend, Bryan Grove, 17; and his friends, Jared Smith, 16, and Jared Guy, 18.
