Morgan County Sheriff K.C. Bohrer announced Thursday that an arrest was made for the murder of Riley Crossman. The Herald Mail reports Andy J. McCauley Jr., 41, was arrested Thursday. He is the boyfriend of Riley Crossman's mother, Bohrer said during the press conference late Thursday afternoon. Officers found what they believe to be her body Thursday morning on North Mountain, at 5500 Tuscarora Pike in Berkeley County, West Virginia.
Bohrer said only a pathologist can confirm that the body is Riley Crossman's, but they believe it is hers.
Bohrer said her body was decomposed when they found it, but they do not know at this time how long it has been there.
The body will be transported to the Office of the State Medical Examiner in Charleston on Friday for the autopsy.
There will be a prayer vigil at the Berkeley Springs State Park at 7 p.m. Thursday, Bohrer said.
Crossman, 15, was missing for a little over a week. On Wednesday, there was a large coordinated search effort with several hundreds of volunteers and law enforcement.
The investigation is still ongoing.
