DES ARC— Authorities say a body found in a suitcase at a farm in Arkansas appears to be that of an elderly man who died in upstate New York.
Johnstown, N.Y., Police Lt. Dave Gilbo says police suspect that the man died of natural causes, but investigators don't yet know why his body was taken more than 1,000 miles to the farm in Arkansas.
Arkansas State Police say Virginia Colvin, 56, of New York was arrested in Arkansas on Wednesday night in connection with the case. State police say she is being held in the Prairie County jail on a preliminary charge of abuse of a corpse.
State police say another man who is jailed in Arkansas on an unrelated charge is also being questioned.
