July 16, (THAINDIAN NEWS) Coppell Mayor Jayne Peters who was found dead by police on Tuesday had apparently left 4 suicide notes before killing her teenage daughter and then shooting herself. The police have said that there is no mention about the cause of the suicide in the notes and one of them only had instructions about the maintenance of the two dogs.
On Tuesday the authorities found the dead body of 55 year old Jayne Peters and her 19 year old daughter Corrine Peters shot in the head. The investigators also revealed that there was a note on the front door of the house that indicated that there would be an unpleasant scene awaiting inside the house. Later three more notes were found but none could help determine the cause of the murder-suicide committed by the mayor of the small city in Texas. City Manager Clay Philips called the death of the Mayor a tremendous loss for the city and the community.
Jayne Peters was a software developer who was the member of the city council since 1998. She had been elected Mayor in the last one year and her term was due to expire in 2012. Her daughter Corrine Peters was a college student who had recently graduated from Coppell High School and was due to start at the University Of Texas in Austin. She was also inclined towards dancing and her friends have described her a person who never frowned and had a positive spirit. According to some of her friends there was some friction between the mother and the daughter after the death of their father Donald Peters in 2008.
