An Alabama man charged with killing a missing woman found dead at his home allegedly hit her with his car and then turned around haer second time.
Court documents say that Logan Michael Rogers, 28, then came back about 30 minutes later in a pick up truck and retrieved the body of Autumn Paige Strickland, WAAY reported.
Strickland, 38, had been reported missing on Sunday evening, as CrimeOnline reported. Rogers was arrested Tuesday at his home and initially charged with attempted murder, but the charge was upgraded to murder after a search warrant found the body.
Strickland was last seen leaving a hotel in Florence shortly before 2 a.m. Sunday morning. Police said at the beginning of the investigation she was “endangered” and “may be living with a condition that may impair her judgment,” Law&Crime reported.
Police said they received multiple tips in the course of the investigation, including video evidence from a local business, that led them to Rogers. Strickland’s cell phone was also found in the location where she was struck by the car.
They have not yet said how the two knew one another or commented on any possible motive.
