FORT WORTH, Texas<\/strong> – Fort Worth police arrested a murder suspect after finding the body of a missing person buried in a shallow grave just days before Christmas.<\/p>\n The backstory:<\/p>\n Fort Worth police said the victim was reported missing in late November.<\/p>\n Investigators determined the unnamed person was last seen on Nov. 30 after leaving a party with 23-year-old Alexander James Nicholas. The two reportedly have a common acquaintance.<\/p>\n When questioned, Nicholas told investigators he dropped the victim off at another location that night. He claimed the person was alive at the time.<\/p>\n What’s new:<\/p>\n On Monday, homicide detectives located the victim\u2019s body in a shallow grave in a wooded area of north Fort Worth in Denton County.<\/p>\n Police said there were signs of foul play, and the missing person is now considered to be the victim of a homicide.<\/p>\n Investigators also located evidence that reportedly contradicts Nicholas\u2019s statements. That\u2019s why he was arrested and charged with murder, police said.<\/p>\n More arrests are possible as the investigation continues, they said.<\/p>\n What we don’t know:<\/p>\n Fort Worth police still haven\u2019t released any information about the victim. We don\u2019t know if they are male or female, and no name has been released.<\/p>\n The Tarrant County Medical Examiner\u2019s Office will reportedly determine that person\u2019s official cause and manner of death.<\/p>\n The Source:<\/b> The information in this story comes from the Fort Worth Police Department and an interview with Fort Worth Police Department spokesman Tracy Carter.<\/p>\n Fort Worth<\/a>Crime and Public Safety<\/a>Missing Persons<\/a> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"article FORT WORTH, Texas – Fort Worth police arrested a murder suspect after finding the body of a…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":473453,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5138],"tags":[5229,6082,7371,7372,8324,50,7375,358,3187,67,586,132,5230,68,2969],"class_list":{"0":"post-473452","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-fort-worth","8":"tag-america","9":"tag-crime-publicsafety","10":"tag-fort-worth","11":"tag-fortworth","12":"tag-missing-persons","13":"tag-news","14":"tag-tarrant-county","15":"tag-texas","16":"tag-tx","17":"tag-united-states","18":"tag-united-states-of-america","19":"tag-unitedstates","20":"tag-unitedstatesofamerica","21":"tag-us","22":"tag-usa"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115787599301158249","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/473452","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=473452"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/473452\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/473453"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=473452"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=473452"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=473452"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
