EAST ST. LOUIS, Ill. — East St. Louis police are searching for a man suspected in the weekend stabbing death of his ex-girlfriend.
Authorities say 25-year-old Michelle Rowling’s body was found Saturday night in her apartment.
Police Chief Michael Floore says Rowling, a mother of two young children, had been repeatedly stabbed.
Floore says Rowling and her ex-boyfriend had a turbulent relationship, and that the man stabbed her in the neck in 2012 and spent a year in jail.
That man again was arrested in August for allegedly assaulting Rowling.
