Baltimore County police have charged a man with first-degree murder in connection with the disappearance of a woman in 2010.
Travis Eugene Elleby, 30, of Windsor Mill was arrested last week, police said, adding that they believe the suspect killed the woman – who they say was his girlfriend – and disposed of the body.
A Baltimore County grand jury indicted Elleby of first-degree murder after a case presentation on Sept.7, police said. Elleby is being held at the Baltimore County Detention Center, according to officials.
