Why are women not careful who they date and bring into the house? This is the third death of a girl or baby this week at the hands of a boyfriend.

UPDATE: Police say arrest made in connection with death of missing Berkeley Springs, W.Va., girl
First I have heard of this?? Cannot figure out if this is a reliable source. Nothing has been reported on WV local news.

Sadly, it's legitimate. In addition to media reports, The FB group that was entitled Bring Riley Crossman Home was just closed.

Where are people seeing this fact? I don't see anywhere that they have mentioned who is responsible.

I ha

Where are people seeing this fact? I don't see anywhere that they have mentioned who is responsible.

I have not seen a specific name mentioned by any news outlet or LE. I suspect that will be forthcoming at the 5p presser. Who has been arrested is strictly conjecture at this point. (Although, my money would be on the mim’s BF being named-my opinion)

Not yet. They believe she was killed in the early morning hours of Wednesday, May 8. Her body was decomposed when found.

The mom's boyfriend was under surveillance at his place of work. The sheriff's office called him in for questioning today to which he agreed, and he was then placed under arrest.

Did the presser mention where she was found?

I did not catch that. Details were scarce. The sheriff did state the name of the boyfriend's mother, though I don't yet see it published anywhere.

Sheriff: Mother's boyfriend murdered missing West Virginia girl

SFA:
McCauley was under surveillance by law enforcement at his job site in Berkeley County until he was asked to come into a West Virginia State Police office, which he agreed to do. There, he was arrested, and, according to Bohrer, was likely being processed during the press conference.

He will be charged with murder – exactly which degree of murder will be up to the prosecuting attorney.

This is why I can never get divorced ... the idea of dating again would be terrifying! Can't trust anyone!

This poor mother - the guilt and shame she must be feeling is unimaginable. You bring someone into your home that you love and trust and they destroy your whole world.

41-year-old Andy J. McCauley, Jr.

From the above link:

The Morgan County Sheriff's Department has arrested 15-year-old Riley Crossman's mother's boyfriend as a suspect in her death.

After over a week searching for the Berkeley Springs teenager, the department said in a Thursday evening press release that a body matching her description was found on Thursday.

While the identity of the decomposed remains could not be immediately confirmed, Sheriff Bohrer said they were "very confident" the remains were hers. An autopsy conducted at the West Virginia Medical Examiner's Office on Friday morning will confirm more details.

Bohrer said they've arrested 41-year-old Andy J. McCauley, Jr. for the girl's death, who was "a suspect since day one."

When asked by reporters at the press conference about McCauley's relation to Crossman, he confirmed that he was her mother's boyfriend.

McCauley was under surveillance by law enforcement at his job site in Berkeley County until he was asked to come into a West Virginia State Police office, which he agreed to do. There, he was arrested, and, according to Bohrer, was likely being processed during the press conference.


He will be charged with murder – exactly which degree of murder will be up to the prosecuting attorney.

Bohrer said they had no reason to suspect the involvement of any other suspects.

Crossman went missing in the early morning hours of May 8. On Wednesday, May 15, over 300 volunteers turned out from around the region to help law enforcement search for any sign of her.

The Morgan County Sheriff's Department says this isn't the conclusion they hoped for, but they are glad the family has some closure.

A prayer vigil will be held at the Berkeley Springs State Park at 7 p.m. on Thursday evening.

The investigation remains very much ongoing.
