Police say that Haden was killed in his apartment in The Domain in 2022. His body was eventually found buried under a bridge in Georgetown.

Construction on a new bridge that would ultimately connect the Foley Beach Express to Gulf Shores won’t be allowed to continue, according to an order Friday by the Alabama State Supreme Court.

The order prevents the Alabama Department of Transportation from continuing to build the bridge to Alabama's beaches.
