Investigators with the Fresno Sheriff's Office said Wednesday that they suspect 21-year-old Kaleo Schreiner of Tracy of killing longtime friend, 20-year-old Megan Troen.

Officials say the two left Troen's Tracy home last month together and were supposed to be gone for a short time, but never returned. Troen's family reported her missing the next day.

Detectives say workers along the aqueduct discovered the body July 30 in the canal near Interstate 5.

They say Troen had a diminished mental capacity.

Detectives say Schreiner drives a black Lexus and spends time in the areas of Los Angeles, Oakland, Stockton and Sacramento.
