The suspect in custody for the murder of Chelsea Bruck is scheduled to face a judge in Monroe will be formally charged.
The 27-year-old Newport man was taken into custody Friday after a two-year investigation into Bruck’s death.
Bruck disappeared from a Halloween party in 2014. Her remains were found the following spring in Ash Township by a construction crew.
The suspect was arrested on new evidence provided by Michigan State Police.
The suspect’s girlfriend says the man called her from jail and told her he did it by accident, while they were having sex.
But the autopsy results have not been released, until now. The autopsy, performed by the Wayne County Medical Examiner, concluded that Bruck died of blunt force trauma to the head, and her death was a homicide.
