CLAYTON COUNTY, Ga. - Police are investigating after a 70-year-old man was found dead just hours after he was reported missing.
Channel 2 Action News was at the scene in Clayton County where at least a dozen police officers and the Georgia Bureau of Investigation were along Landover Circle in Morrow just after 11 p.m. Thursday.
Authorities told Channel 2's Tyisha Fernandes that Robert Page's family reported him missing earlier in the day.
Using a neighbor?s surveillance video, police were able to arrest Christian Ponce-Martinez, 25, after he was seen on Page's property.
Police said he murdered Page and then dismembered and hid Page's body.
?The officers went to the back of the residence and located the offender hiding under a couch, acting very nervous and suspicious. Officers then noticed a trail of blood. They followed it and it was Robert Page?s dismembered remains," Maj. Craig Hammer said.
Investigators are still trying to figure out a motive. They said the two did not know each other. Ponce-Martinez moved in next door just three months ago, and the men?s paths had not crossed.
Ponce-Martinez was renting a room, and police said he moved to Morrow from
Mexico. They're working with federal investigators to determine if he came to America legally.
