On Thursday, Roy Owens Jr. appeared in an Ohio court where the judge set a $1 million bail for an aggravated murder charge. Only a day before, Owens was arrested at 1:30 p.m. when drivers called the police to report a suspicious person.

Owens had crashed his car into a ditch, and WHIO reports that when police looked in his trunk, they found the body of a woman who they believe to be Linnea Satterfield.

Police say that Owens and Satterfield had been in a relationship but that they recently split up, and Satterfield moved into her own place. Owens was wanted for kidnapping when he was arrested.
On Monday, after a report from her sister, officers went to Satterfield’s house and discovered signs of a struggle. They then checked Owens’ house, where the couple lived for 20 years, but neither of them were there.
At the scene of the crash, the 56-year-old was running around in his underwear and had a knife. He was reportedly screaming that he was going to cut himself. Deputies then searched his Buick LeSabre and discovered the body.
According to WHIO, Owens has a number of convictions including one for domestic violence. Both Satterfield and Owens are from the Cleveland area.
