An Arkansas woman living inside a home where skeletal remains were found Tuesday has been arrested, police said.
Gloria Tensley, 65, is being held on charges of abuse of a corpse and fraud related to the receiving of Social Security disability benefits after a beneficiary's death, according to Lt. Ken Jackson with the Paragould Police Department.
Jackson said the skeletal remains have not been identified, though authorities believe the body is that of a long-term boyfriend who lived with Tensley in the house in the 100 block of North Fourth Avenue in Paragould.
Another resident at the property, an unidentified man, said a homeowner told him not to go to a certain part of a house, but he opened a door anyway, the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette previously reported. At that point, police said, he found the remains.
No additional arrests are expected at this point in the investigation, Jackson said.
Tensley remained at the Greene County jail as of Wednesday morning, records show.
