The Lynn native was last seen alive leaving her birthday celebration at Venu Nightclub on the morning of Feb. 24 before her dismembered remains were found in the trunk of Louis D. Coleman’s car during a traffic stop in Delaware on Feb. 28, according to police.
Coleman, 32, of Providence, Rhode Island, was caught only hours after he was identified as a suspect in the disappearance of Correia. He is facing a charge of kidnapping, resulting in death.
Authorities say Coleman is in the process of being extradited back to Massachusetts, where he will face federal charges.
If convicted, Coleman would be eligible for the death penalty. It’s not clear if authorities plan to seek the death penalty.
Correia leaves behind a 2-year-old daughter.
