<i> Associated Press</i>
VICKSBURG, Miss. —
FBI agents joined the search Monday for furniture heiress Jacqueline Levitz, who investigators fear was murdered.
Vicksburg police and Warren County sheriff’s officers met with federal agents to discuss the case of the 62-year-old socialite, who was last seen alive Nov. 18.
Investigators suspect she was killed that night at her home, where they found a blood-soaked mattress and carpet stained with blood.
Her husband, Ralph Levitz, owner of the Levitz Furniture chain, died in March, leaving her the bulk of his estimated $15-million estate.
