Reports state that she met him on Facebook. It happened at Herring’s parents home and when they came back from an outing he confessed to killing her. He was arrested on the scene and her body was found under a pile of leaves.
Police Capt. Jack Ryan said, “It was a very violent act so we’re looking at him in connection to some other possible cases that we’ve had.” They aren’t sure if he has killed before, but he is facing charges of murder, arson as well as abuse of a corpse. We will keep McLean’s family in our prayers.
