The murder of a young teacher in the state of Tennessee caused a stir in the United States. The 34-year-old was identified by police in the city of Memphis on Tuesday after her body was found the day before. Previously, detectives spent days looking for her with a large contingent. The woman was forced into a car while jogging on Friday and disappeared.
The woman was the granddaughter of a very wealthy businessman. According to the “New York Times”, this billionaire died in 2018. The teacher was one of his heirs.
Sandals found near the body
A 38-year-old man has been arrested, police said. He is charged with first degree murder and kidnapping. Police tracked him down because, according to consistent media reports, sandals were found near the body containing the man’s DNA. He was only released from prison in 2020 after serving 20 years for another kidnapping.
It was initially unclear whether the police had other people in mind as possible accomplices. There was also no information about the motive for the murder.
