After weeks of investigation, police have arrested a suspect in connection with the murder of 54-year-old Irma Williams. The missing Anchorage woman’s death was ruled a homicide after an autopsy in November.
Tuesday, a grand jury indicted Williams’ former boyfriend, 46-year-old Michael Memeo, in connection with her death, according to a statement from the Anchorage Police Department.
Williams was reported missing by family members on Sept. 30. Her body was found weeks later by a passerby near Lions Park in Mountain View, the neighborhood in which Williams resided.
Memeo, who has prior offenses extending back to 1991, has now been charged with first-degree murder, second-degree murder and tampering with evidence. He is currently being held at the Anchorage Jail on $500,000 cash-only bail, plus third-party custodian.
Memeo’s arraignment is scheduled for Dec. 17.
