Woman Predicted Her Death on Facebook Before She Was Stabbed to Death Days After

An East St. Louis
woman warned her Facebook friends that she might be killed just
days before she was found stabbed to death in her apartment on
Saturday night.
“If anything happens to me tonight just let my kids know I loved
them dearly and tell my momma I love her,” Michelle Rowling posted
on her Facebook page on November 25th.

On Saturday night, police were called to investigate a disturbance at
Rowling’s apartment complex. Police found the 25-year-old bleeding
out on the floor of her apartment.
Police arrested her ex-boyfriend, 25-year-old Montrell Cooper,
according to St. Clair County State’s Attorney Brendan Kelly.

Cooper had been jailed since August for assaulting Rowling. But
Rowling testified on his behalf which resulted in his sentence being
reduced to probation.

Kelly says he wanted to keep Cooper behind bars following
the lapse of his most recent jail stint, but Rowling was
uncooperative, forcing Cooper’s release on probation.

Rowling’s relatives accused Cooper of murdering the
mother of two because she was attempting to leave him
behind and move on.

Police are still searching for Cooper, and are asking anyone
with information to come forward.
Rowling listed her relationship status as “single” on her Facebook
page. She was the mother of 2 small children.
Cooper was not the father of Rowling’s children. ads
