RadioOnFire.com - A York County, Pennsylvania man faces charges of killing his live-in girlfriend in Baltimore County.
Baltimore County Police are charging 48-year-old Michael Anthony Morant of Red Lion, with first degree murder in connection with the death of 30-year-old Rebekah Jea Strasbaugh.
The woman was reported missing Saturday afternoon by relatives who told police they had not seen her since Friday.
Police later discovered Morant had driven to Baltimore City on Saturday to look for Strausbaugh. He found her at the Shake Shack on Pratt Street, and the two got into his car, and headed north back to Pennsylvania.
Police say as the couple traveled along I-83, they began to argue. Morant pulled off I-183 to an area around Ensor Mill Road and Belfast Road in Sparks. The two got out of the car and continued to argue. Police say at some point the argument turned physical.
Police say the woman suffered injuries that left her unresponsive. When Morant did get a response from the woman, he dragged her body into the woods and covered her with a blanket.
Police later discovered the body in the woods in the 15500-block of Ensor Mill Road. Investigators are not saying how the woman died.
An autopsy is pending.
Morant is being held without bail at the Baltimore County Detention Center.
