Authorities said Alvin B. Keyser, 23, has been arrested and is being held in connection with the case. Sampson said he showed authorities where St. John’s body was located and is “being fairly cooperative.”

Keyser is an acquaintance of St. John, according to Sampson, who added that they investigated the 23-year-old after a post was made on social media regarding statements he made.

“They looked through the woods and you could definitely tell there has been a struggle beside my daughter’s car,” TerriLynn’s father, Terry St. John, told WTVR-TV. “Jewelry was all around, like it had been broken off. Her cellphone was found in the bushes.”

St. John’s boyfriend, Mac Kennard, told The Southside Sentinel the last time he saw her was when he kissed her goodbye at 4:20 a.m. that morning before he headed to work.
