Authorities say an extensive investigation led to manslaughter charges and a $30,000 bond for the boyfriend’s father.
- Trussville police announced an 'extensive investigation' led to the arrest of Jeffrey Scott Towers, 54, on a charge of reckless manslaughter in the death of his son's 22-year-old girlfriend, Whitney Robeson.
- Robeson, a recent Auburn University graduate and interior designer, died from a gunshot wound on March 7 at a home on Deer Trail in Trussville, Alabama, about 15 miles northeast of Birmingham.
