Police: Two teens arrested in murder of Missouri woman
LEE'S SUMMIT, MO. -- Two teenagers have been arrested in the stabbing death of a 43-year-old Missouri woman, reports CBS affiliate KCTV.
The body of Tanya L. Chamberlain was discovered after police tried to stop the driver of a vehicle around 1:15 a.m. Sunday for suspicion of driving while intoxicated, according to the station. The car was pulled into a nearby parking lot and two suspects allegedly fled, apparently leaving the body behind.
After a short foot pursuit, an officer discovered the victim in the passenger seat and investigators determined that Chamberlain had been murdered.
Officers would later conduct a search of the surrounding areas using K-9 teams. On Tuesday, investigators released surveillance video of the two teenage suspects, leading to their quick apprehensions.
According to an online statement from the police, the suspects are ages 13 and 14. (They will remain unnamed because of their young age.)
Police are also not releasing whether, or how, the suspects may have known Chamberlain.
