A Louisiana man who is an active duty soldier was intercepted after allegedly killing his wife and driving around with the body Sunday night.
Logan Kyle, 22, allegedly confessed to murdering his spouse after law enforcement received a tip-off about the dead body in the trunk at around 9.30pm.
The Calcasieu Parish Sheriff's Office (CPSO) found the man traveling with another woman behind the wheel who is believed to be his girlfriend.
Her two children were also in the vehicle as they moved to dispose of the dead woman, it is claimed.
Sarah Parker, 24, admitted she was fully aware of the woman in the back of the vehicle she owns.
The victim's name cannot be released until Tuesday as Army regulations require a 24-hour time period after notifying next-of-kin, Fort Polk spokeswoman Kim Reichsling said.
'The family member's death is under investigation by special agents from U.S. Army Criminal Investigation Command,' Reischling told
Army Times. 'No further information will be released at this time to protect the integrity of the investigation.'
Sheriff Tony Mancuso said during a press conference that Parker was helping him get rid of the corpse.
