Newfoundland police have arrested a 39-year-old man in connection with the discovery last week of Anne Marie Shirran's body.

The Royal Newfoundland Constabulary did not identify the man during a press conference Monday, but said the investigation is ongoing.

The man, who is 39 years old and from St. John's, is scheduled to appear in court Tuesday morning.

Shirran's case has kept the community on edge since she was reported missing in the St. John's area on July 19.

"I used to never lock my doors, and now I've started locking my doors," resident Darlene McCarty told NTV's Pam Parsons on Monday.

"It used to be so peaceful here, and now it's kind of chaotic."

Last Thursday, campers discovered her remains in a wooded area in Cappahayden, 100 kilometres south of the provincial capital.

Police confirmed the body was the missing 32-year-old Kilbride, N.L., woman on Sunday.

I feel that if certain organs were in demand, less effort would be made to revive people. Am I being silly? Not really. I had a bad experience in hospital when my heart stopped, the doctors tried to revive me and failed. They stopped and said I was gone. I came around on my own when the nurse was giving a final BP reading of 'zero'. I heard her declare me dead! It was all I could do to shake my head but they never caught on til I was able to open my eyes. You should have seen them scramble then! I thought the nurse was going to faint. The thing is, I think we may write people off too soon when there is something of value to be gained from them.
