Neighbors watch in horror as woman dragged to her death



Neighbors said they ran to try to help but there was little that could be done to save a woman who was carjacked and dragged to her death Monday afternoon in a New Orleans neighborhood.

Monday afternoon, Austin Northcott knew something was wrong in his Mid-City neighborhood.

“I heard screaming, like you’re about to die sort of scream,” said Northcott. “Just not a normal scream.”

Those screams were from 73-year-old Linda Frickey, who police say was carjacked and dragged to death by her own SUV. Witnesses say it happened when a vehicle pulled up next to her parked SUV in the 300 block of N. Scott Street.

“It’s just heartbreaking to see that,” said Northcott.

Witnesses say Frickey was caught in her seatbelt and dragged as her SUV sped off on Bienville Avenue, steps away from Mark and Leanne Mascar’s front door.

  1. The city has gone down. The mayor does nothing. The police chief does nothing. I’m embarrassed to say it was the town I was born in. I’m glad I don’t live there now.

  2. If thie bias, slanted media was to report this exactly the same as other crime the headline would be:
    "blacks drag white woman to her death while stealing her vehicle"

  4. I can't fathom being so unfeeling and detached to be able to do this to another human being, for a car no less.
    And the issue with the lack of swift response from 911- that's also inexcusable. I have dealt with this myself here in Ohio recently. I was right behind a 3 car pileup on the freeway- people were badly injured. My daughter and I were both calling and were on hold for several minutes. Someone else on the scene eventually got through. Those minutes could make the difference between life and death, and might have saved this woman here. You should never get a recording when you call for help.

  5. This is horrifying. How do u keep driving when u know an elderly woman is hanging out the door stuck in the seatbelt….then her arm literally is ripped off and u know she falls and u just keep on driving.
    These attackers need immediate death penalty. Do not pass go. Do not collect $200. Immediate firing squad.
    We don’t want to pay a single tax dollar for these monsters. Not a penny.
