A beloved TV reporter for a local television station in New Orleans was killed on Friday while she was on the job, filming a piece in a stunt plane that crashed near Lakefront Airport.Franklin J.P. Augustus, the pilot of the plane, was also killed.
"I would trade places with her right now. I should’ve been on that plane ... I’m lost without my wife," he added. "For more than two decades, Nancy Parker sat opposite John Snell as the FOX 8 co-anchor and gave us the news of the day," New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell said in a statement."She told it to us straight, but with a combination of professionalism, intelligence, warmth and grace we may never experience again. New Orleans did not just lose a five-time Emmy-winning journalist, or a familiar, comforting face on our TV screens.
"My heart goes out to the family ... Thoughts and prayers to all of you during this time," Brees tweeted. I am deeply saddened by the untimely death of the consummate journalist Nancy Parker. My condolences to her husband Glen Boyd and their family. She made her mark in the journalism community of New Orleans and will be sorely missed. RIP pic.twitter.com/bLaDo7VowN
