'I have a body in the trunk': Man fatally stabs romantic rival, drives around all night looking for a shovel
A New Jersey man pleaded guilty to stabbing and killing a romantic rival and then driving around with the body in the trunk of his car looking for a shovel to bury the corpse. 27-year-old Pemberton resident Alan McGinnis admitted to stabbing 20-year-old Cody MacPherson — who was allegedly involved in a tryst with his ex-girlfriend and the mother of his two children Caitlyn Huertas — in the chest, neck, and abdomen on September 24, 2017, and then dumping the body in a wooded area.
According to the Asbury Park Press, after McGinnis murdered MacPherson, he hid the 20-year-old's body in the trunk of his car and then drove around all night looking for a shovel with which he could dig a grave. He is said to have then approached his cousin at around 3 am in the morning and asked candidly, "Hey, do you have a shovel? I have a body in the trunk."
