Homeowner Arrested After Missing Girlfriend’s Body Found In Well

A South Carolina homeowner was arrested Sunday after the body of a missing woman he dated was discovered in a well on his property.

Perry Thomas Pruitt, 54, was charged with unauthorized removal of a dead body, WBTW reports. The day before, fire officials pulled the body of 57-year-old Patricia Ann Freeman out of a residential well on Pruitt’s property in Anderson. Bleach and mothballs were allegedly found in the water, too.

Freeman was reported missing on February 6, but her brother told deputies he had not seen his sister since September.
