(MISHAWAKA) - Authorities say a 16-year-old boy is suspected in the death of a 17-year-old pregnant schoolmate whose body was found near her northern Indiana home in a restaurant’s dumpster.
Lt. Alex Arendt of the St. Joseph County Metro Homicide Unit says the boy, a member of the Mishawaka High School football team, was arrested Sunday. The St. Joseph County prosecutor's office says he's being held on a preliminary murder charge and formal charges were expected Monday.
Arendt says Breana Rouhselang was last seen about midnight Saturday at her Mishawaka home and the family called police about 4:30 a.m. Sunday after they "got the feeling that something wasn't right." Arendt says the extent of the relationship between the two youths was under investigation.
An autopsy was planned to determine a cause of death.
