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 think he was pushed to take matters into his own hands. I have a teenage son and if he was involved with a drug dealer I would be furious and try anything to save him like this father did for his daughter. Why do police often say they can't do anything until it's too late? Whether it be a drug dealer or an abusive spouse, the police can't seem to do anything until something really bad happens. In this case they could have raided the drug dealers home and arrested him. The whole town knew what was going on in that house but yet the police chose to do nothing. Release this man and give him a medal for doing the right thing by his daughter. I can't wait to see the episode on W5, I will certainly be watching this one.
