Arrest warrant issued for mother who fled with accused killer

LYNN – Police issued an arrest warrant this morning for Louna Eveillard, charging the Lynn woman tried to help boyfriend and accused murderer Rodlyn Petitbois avoid capture Wednesday.
New York police are searching for Eveillard, 26, in the New York City area and plan to charge her with being an accessory after the fact.
The warrant application filled out before 9 a.m. Friday by Lynn police states that Eveillard, “knowing that Rodlyn Petitbois had committed a felony, to wit, murder, did harbor, conceal with intent such person?”
Petitbois is scheduled to be arraigned in Lynn District Court Monday for the murder of Greenland Etienne. Two witnesses told police that a drunken and drugged Petitbois, after hours of arguing with Eveillard in Etienne?s Highlands apartment, stabbed Eveillard in the left hand, then stabbed Etienne through one of her eye sockets as she tried to call police.
Essex County District Attorney spokeswoman Karen Dawley said Petitbois is expected to arrive at Lynn Police headquarters sometime after 6 tonight.
Police interviews with Petitbois and Eveillard Wednesday and Thursday differ from accounts provided by witness accounts.
Petitbois told New York police in an interview Wednesday that he and another man in the apartment “both grabbed knives. He (Petitbois) said that as they were fighting with each other a woman got in between the two of them.
?He said he staggered back and fell down. He dropped his knife and went to see if she was injured badly. She was not speaking but making noise.”
Eveillard told Lynn and New York police during an interview at a Brooklyn precinct Thursday that “at some point an argument between Rodlyn and Greenland and herself ensued. Greenland grabbed a serrated bread knife during the argument. She (Eveillard) said that she tried to take the knife away from Greenland and cut her hand.”
Police challenged this claim during the interview and pointed out Eveillard had two cuts on her hand. They also challenged her claim that she left 99 High Rock at 10 p.m. Tuesday and went to her 15 Whittier St. apartment where she said Petitbois arrived and watched a movie.
?She said at 6 a.m., she, her children and Mr. Petitbois decided it would be a good time to travel to Brooklyn.”
Police told her she was lying about the time sequence and said Lynn police searched 15 Whittier following Etienne?s murder shortly after 1 a.m. on Wednesday.
While being questioned by police Eveillard also denied ever having problems with Mr. Petitbois and denied a claim, related by witnesses to police, that Petitbois assaulted her three weeks ago. She told police she and Petitbois had been together for seven years and that they moved to Lynn last year.
