Dateline NBC “Who Killed Courtney Coco?” 4/14/23 Episode Summary
When police in rural Texas unearth a young woman’s body inside an abandoned building, they find a name inscribed into the ring she was wearing. A multi-state investigation that lasts almost two decades is sparked by one name, which prompts one family to continue their own quest for justice.
The story from Winnie, Texas and Alexandria, Louisiana is reported by Andrea Canning.
The episode features interviews with Stephanie Belgard, former Detective David Rabalais, retired Texas Ranger Skylor Hearn, Sergeant Cedric Green, and more.
What Happened in the Courtney Coco Case?
David Anthony Burns was sentenced to life in prison after being found guilty of second-degree murder. Burns is incarcerated for life without the possibility of probation, release, or sentence reduction.
On October 4, 2004, Coco’s remains was discovered in an abandoned building near Winnie, Texas. An indictment against Burns didn’t arrive until April 2021 as leads went stale.
Burns was Coco’s sister’s previous husband and was rumoured to be seeing Coco as well.
Over the years, the case fell dormant, but it resurfaced when it was the subject of a podcast called “Real Life Real Crime,” presented by retired police officer Woody Overton.
Burns was detained by the Alexandria Police Department on April 13, 2021, following a Rapides Parish grand jury’s indictment of him for second-degree murder.
