Henderson, KY - Boni Frederick, age 67, of Morganfield, was found dead in a western Kentucky home Tuesday. Authorities believe that she was murdered, but are awaiting the results of an autopsy scheduled Tuesday to determine final cause of death.

Renee Terrell, 33 , and her boyfriend, Christopher Wayne Luttrell, 23 , are implicated in her death. According to reports, Frederick was a social worker who was bringing their 10 month old son, Saige Terrell, to a visitation with his mother. Renee and Christopher currently do not have custody of their son, who is developmentally disabled.

According to reports, the police were called Monday afternoon after Ms. Frederick failed to return to her office after taking Saige to visitation. As of Tuesday, both of Saige's parents are missing, and an Amber Alert has been issued in Illinois for his safe return. The station wagon Ms. Frederick was driving is also missing.

If you have any information about Saige Terrell, you are encouraged to contact the Henderson Police Department at 1-877-AMBER-17.

    Wow. I am so thankful for the Amber Alerts. They are truly amazing. Here's hoping for one of those successes here. What a horrible story all around. Thank you for sharing it.
