According to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, the dead body, which may have been dismembered and placed in a plastic bag or bags, was found near a Hancock, Georgia, home around 7 p.m. June 4.

On June 5, officials said a vehicle Christopher Collin Demmon, 33, was riding in may be connected. That helped investigators connect Demmon to the killing in Hancock.

He was released from prison seven months ago, police said.
