SALEM, Mass. — A Salem man has been arrested on a charge of murder in connection with an ongoing investigation into the disappearance of a woman, whose body hasn’t been located, investigators announced Tuesday.
Pablo Vicente, 33, was arraigned Tuesday in Salem District Court on a charge of murder, according to Essex County District Attorney Paul F. Tucker and Salem Police Chief Lucas Miller.
Salem police on Monday received a report that the woman in question had been harmed and state police detectives assigned to Tucker’s office ultimately developed further evidence of foul play, leading to Vicente’s arrest, authorities said.
A search for the victim’s body on Tuesday led investigators to a dumpster, where human remains were found, according to the DA’s office.
The identity of the victim is being withheld at this time because her family hasn’t been notified.
Tucker said his office will provide more information as it develops.
