New Orleans teacher Liz Quackenbush's accused killer captured in Indiana

Updated Jul 9, 2021 at 12:24 pm

After a four-month manhunt, U.S. Marshals on Friday caught up with Preston Higgs, who has been wanted since early March when his girlfriend, well-loved New Harmony High School chemistry teacher Liz Quackenbush, was found dead after being stabbed multiple times with an ax in the house they shared.

Authorities found Higgs on a Greyhound bus in Lake County, Indiana, where he was jailed. The NOPD plans to extradite the 36-year-old and book him with second-degree murder.

The extensive search was prolonged by assistance Higgs received from his immediate family and friends, who financially supported him and coordinated his movements while he was at large, said Brian Fair, a senior inspector with the U.S. Marshals Service in New Orleans. Those associates could be charged with harboring and abetting a fugitive and making false statements to authorities, he said.

On March 3, police found Quackenbush, 39, dead in the couple's house in the 1200 block of Desire Street and obtained a warrant to arrest Higgs.

The pair had dated in their native Rochester before moving to New Orleans together. The Rochester Post-Bulletin detailed the pair's local ties, with Quakenbush having been an instructor at the Rochester Alternative Learning Center (ALC) — and making the news several times over the years for her work with the Green Thumb Initiative at the ALC, which "focused on teaching real-world skills through gardening, grant-writing and beekeeping."

The paper says Higgs had a criminal record, having been convicted over a 2003 incident in which he assisted in an armed robbery at a Minnesota gas station and then "forced his way into a pregnant woman's car at gunpoint" and sexually assaulted her. He was released from prison in 2018.
