    The former personal assistant of Sarah Ferguson has been found murdered, as Prince Andrew's ex wife pays a heartbroken tribute to the 46-year-old.<\/p>\n

    The body of Jenean Chapman was discovered by police in her downtown apartment in Dallas, Texas, at 1:15pm local time on Monday (September 25) before James Patrick, 48, was arrested in Austin by the University of Texas Police the next day. <\/p>\n

    The Dallas County Medical Examiner's Office determined Chapman's death was a homicide. Patrick is facing a murder charge and is currently in custody in Travis County.<\/p>\n

    Jenean's family said she had just moved to the area five months ago for a new job. She didn't show up to work and that her job called the police for a wellness check, one of her sisters said.<\/p>\n

    Crystal Marshall, one of Chapman's three sisters, explained: "That's what kind of sounded the alarm that something was not right."<\/p>\n

    She added that the family were blindsided by the news. "We're just in shock, and we're trying to gather ourselves and collect all the missing pieces of information," she told US media.<\/p>\n

    The Duchess of York posted on Instagram expressing her shock and sadness over the murder. She described Jenean as loyal, hardworking, beautiful, and fun, and expressed her heartbreak for Jenean's family and friends. <\/span><\/p>\n

    Ferguson mentioned that she had recently heard from Jenean, who seemed happy at that time.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Jenean's family is raising money to transport her body back to New York City and to cover legal and funeral costs. <\/p>\n
