An Ohio man was arrested for the murder of Samantha Greenlee, the woman who was pregnant with his child.
Jacob Ferrero, 22, who admitted to killing Greenlee, 22, also confessed to burning down their apartment in an attempt to cover up the evidence.
Ferrero led police to her body in the woods near Madison Christian church early Wednesday morning.
Greenlee was last seen on October 8 after leaving work. She was reported missing by family members when she missed a doctor's appointment. The apartment was set on fire the same day, Oct. 10.
Her family told authorities they became suspicious of Ferrero when he didn't report Greenlee missing.
"I suspected, because her car was there," said Greenlee's grandmother. "They had an argument that night. She had been missing and her house was set on fire Friday."
Detectives said they interviewed Ferrero a few times over the past two weeks and were getting ready to give him a lie-detector test when he confessed to the crime.
Family say Greenlee and Ferrero had been living together. They had been dating for about five months, and she was three months pregnant.
Greenlee had previously filed a report, telling authorities that she was afraid of Ferrero but there were no signs of violence when they checked on the couple.
"I know they got in a lot of fights," said Estellia Sheridan, a cousin. She also said Greenlee had called the police on Ferrero numerous times. She moved out in September, but came back a week later. "She was trying to get the relationship to work because of the baby," Sheridan said. "She was so happy about the baby."
Jacob Ferrero has been charged with murder and aggravated arson.
