A man has been cuffed for murder in Austin, Texas after a chilling find of human skeletal remains were uncovered along a greenbelt, says law enforcement. Melcolm Martin Lee, 24, also known as "Tanto," was apprehended Wednesday at a south Austin homeless camp by the U.S. Marshals Service's Lone Star Fugitive Task Force, according to CBS Austin.
The remains, found in the West Bouldin Creek Greenbelt, were later identified as those of Jehu Patrick Flores, 30, after detectives received tip-offs about a months-old murder, Although trying to dodge the law, Lee got caught, and now he's locked up on a whopping $1 million bond, as per CBS Austin.
Digging started after officers got anonymous tips about the grim murder scene hidden in the greenbelt's brush. A cadaver-sniffing K-9 unit scoured the area, discovering the bones on November 29, in accord with KVUE.
