The deceased individual was Margot Lewis' ex-girlfriend, Liara Tsai, 35, who had been fatally stabbed in the neck by Lewis, 33, before the 2024 crash unfolded. As Law&Crime previously reported, prosecutors in Hennepin County accused Lewis of stabbing Tsai while the two were inside Tsai's studio apartment in Minneapolis. The crash that ultimately uncovered what Lewis did to her ex happened on June 22, 2024, on Interstate 90 near Highway 42 in Eyota. Lewis was driving Tsai's vehicle. Lewis is due to face additional charges in Olmsted County for concealing Tsai's body.
