Sources told Local 4 Lawrence was either hit or stabbed more than 100 times in gruesome fashion.
Ex-wife in hiding
Local 4 has learned that Iannotti's ex-wife is in hiding, fearing for her life.
Cassie Hokanson went to social media to say that she's on the run and Iannotti is out to get her. She posted on Facebook that Iannotti had broken into her house.
The post put police on the offensive Monday. Warren's mayor said catching Iannotti is priority No. 1.
Hokanson said Ianotti showed up where she was hiding with her family.
My father fired twice to protect my family," Hokanson said.
The Warren detective leading the case got one judge to revoke Iannotti's bond Monday, and another judge issued new warrants for first-degree murder.
The mayor and a family member of Hokanson said she is safe.
