UPDATE- Arrest Made- Qwake Lewellyn, 28
Qwake Lewellyn has confessed to the kidnapping, rape and murder of Sydney Sutherland.
"An Arkansas State Police investigator stated in a probable cause affidavit that Lewellyn saw Sutherland jogging on Jackson County Road 41 South, more than a mile from her home.
During his interview with police, Lewellyn admitted to ramming Sutherland with his pickup, loading her into the vehicle and driving her to a remote location, according to the affidavit. Police said that's where Lewellyn raped her and buried her.
Sutherland's phone was found 2.3 miles from where her body was discovered, police said. Lewellyn's phone was seized, and that's how investigators discovered he had been in the vicinity of where the victim's body was buried, according to the affidavit." Arkansas Online
