A woman was found dead inside a house in DeKalb County Alabama Saturday.

Police spent the weekend searching for the homeowner, Doug Minor, and another woman, Norma Jo Grinnell.

Both were found in an abandoned chicken house in Cherokee County Sunday.

Sheriff Jimmy Harris says Grinnell appears to be a victim and is not being charged.

Minor has been charged with first-degree assault and kidnapping.

The identity of the dead woman has not been released.

If you walked on Gulf Coast beaches this summer, April 2010 might seem like a distant memory. The sugar-sand moves around a lot, covering and uncovering things. You might have been more worried about stepping on a jellyfish than stepping on a tar ball.

Auburn had a long history of research along the Gulf Coast, and after the Macondo Well blew out, that work continued on a large scale. While oil marched eastward down the coast, two Auburn researchers, Dr. T. Prabhakar Clement and Dr. Joel Hayworth, sampled the spreading slick and determined a chemical “DNA” for oil coming from the spill. Globs of the sticky goo washed up at Dauphin Island, Gulf Shores, Orange Beach, Pensacola, and Gulf Islands National Seashore, and we all wondered if the sugar-sand beaches of summer vacation memories would ever recover.

Five years later, the gunk still show up, particularly after storms. No one is 100% sure where they are coming from, but it seems that large quantities of submerged oil – popularly mislabeled “tar mats” – exist somewhere between the coast and the first sand bar. Oil, laced with toxic chemicals and mixed with sand, is buried under upper layers of sands that shift around. After storms, chunks of this may break off and get tossed onshore, carrying with them the chemical cocktail that proves they came from that awful day in April 2010.

Since so many miles of shoreline were oiled from Deepwater Horizon, it’s hard to know where to look to find the submerged oil lurking down there. Finding and mapping it will help scientists focus their efforts to understand the long-term effects of the spill, and you can help.

Your support of this project will accelerate the mapping effort by building an underwater, automated core sampler for Dr. Hayworth’s continuing work. On the Gulf floor, this gadget burrows itself directly into the sand, pulling up a cylinder of what lies beneath and allowing Dr. Hayworth to figure out what and how much is still out there.

The leftover oil isn’t going away anytime soon, but your gift can bring some understanding of the catastrophe. And Dr. Hayworth’s work may unlock the key to making sure we have Red Snapper to catch, Gulf shrimp to eat, and jellyfish to worry about stepping on for generations to come. Thanks in advance for participating in TigerGiving Day (12/01/15) and for sharing this work with others.
