PAW PAW (WKZO) -- A Van Buren County Sheriff's Department press conference Friday morning confirmed what Amy Henslee's family has previously claimed: Amy's body and the body of another woman were found buried near the trailer of a cousin on CR 687, a few miles from the Henslee home in Hartford Township.
The suspect is apparently the cousin of Amy's husband, James, identified as 34-year-old Junior Lee "B.J." Beebe.
Police say Henslee and Beebe's girlfriend - Tonia Howarth - were shot to death.
It all broke loose when a neighbor told police she saw a black pickup in the Henslee's driveway the morning Amy disappeared. That coupled with Beebe's admission to James Henslee that he had been there that morning, led to a search of the camper and the hunting shed where the cousin lives.
The bodies of Amy Henslee and Howarth were subsquently discovered in shallow graves on the property.
Beebe is reportedly being held on a homicide warrant in the Van Buren County Jail.
