(CBS/WBNS) LOGAN, Ohio - According to Logan police Chief Aaron Miller, Sandra Inman, who is in custody at the Southeast Ohio Regional Jail, told investigators that the body of her daughter in-law, Summer Inman, had been placed in a septic system behind a church near Nelsonville, Ohio.

The body was recovered on Tuesday shortly before 9 p.m. Miller said that officers had to unscrew a cover to the septic system in order to reach the body, reports CBS affiliate WBNS.

While investigators did not release specific information about how Summer Inman died, Miller said on Wednesday that it appeared she was "killed very quickly" the night she was kidnapped.

Police are still awaiting the autopsy report, the station reports.

Police allege that Inman's estranged husband, William A. Inman II, 26, and his parents, William A. Inman, 47, and Sandra Inman, 46 are responsible for her disappearance. They remain in the Southeast Ohio Regional Jail after their arrests on kidnapping charges last week, reports the station.

Summer and William were married in 2004, but the couple separated last year. Since then she was granted a civil protection order, the station reports.

In court documents pertaining to William and Summer Inman's  divorce, Summer claimed her husband "threatened to kill" her if she ever "took the children from him." She also stated in the documents that her in-laws would "gang up on me to just work things out," reports the station.

Neighbors said that the Inman family was ruled by William Inman and referred to him as "hyper," "controlling" and "scary," according to the station.
