COLUMBUS, Ohio – The boyfriend of a missing 22-yr-old woman has been charged with her murder after leading police to her body.
Jacob Ferrero (above left), 21, has been charged with murder and aggravated arson in the death of his girlfriend, Samantha Greenlee (right), who has been missing since Oct. 8, Columbus police spokesman Sgt. Rich Weiner said.
Weiner says Ferrero confessed and led investigators to her body in a wooded area near Madison Christian Church and School on Bixby Road in Groveport.
The arson charge is the result of Ferrero’s admission to police that he burned down the apartment to cover the crime, according to reports on Columbus television stations ABC6/FOX28.
Greenlee’s family says she was three months pregnant Ferrero is the father of the unborn child, the stations reported.
Ferrero is due in court Thursday, the stations reported.
