<article id="ra-body">The body of 40-year-old Lyntell Washington was found in a roadside ditch in nearby Iberville Parish on Tuesday, eight days after she disappeared. Police had suspended their search for a pregnant Baton Rouge teacher, who went missing Wednesday evening, after they spent much of the day Friday searching several areas, including Baker, Baton Rouge, St. Francisville, Zachary and Ramah.<br />
Robert Marks, in custody since she vanished, was hit with first-degree murder and first-degree feticide charges on Friday after initially being held for kidnapping.</p>

<p>Marks, 39, is an assistant principal at Brookstown Magnet Honors Academy, where Washington, a former Teacher of the Year,, served as an instructional specialist. Marks has been placed on administrative leave.<br />
A colleague told Baton Rouge police that Washington was pregnant with Marks&#8217; child and had threatened to expose the relationship. Marks knew Washington was five months pregnant, according to a police report.<br />
Washington asked Marks in one text message if he is &#8220;attempting to avoid his responsibilities with our unborn daughter,&#8221; according to screen shots recovered by the police.</p>

<h6><strong>Police say blood was found in her car</strong></h6>
<p>Marks is married to another woman and police suspect he might have been fearful that his wife would find out that he had gotten the teacher pregnant, according to police records.<br />
Marks was arrested on June 9 after Washington&#8217;s 3-year-old daughter was found alone near her mother&#8217;s car. Blood was found inside the vehicle. A steanger discovered the girl, abondened in a car and said he immediately elt something was wrong:<br />
&#8220;It was actually shocking, first of all, to see the little girl out there by herself, and it&#8217;s kind of upsetting that no one was out there and then to see all that blood I just knew something had gone terribly wrong with someone, whoever she was with,&#8221; said Leslie Parms.</p>
