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 MidCity neighborhood. I heard screaming, like youre about to die sort of scream, said Northcott. Just not a normal scream. Those screams were from 73yearold 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. Its 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 Mascars front door.
