Jessica Newman homicide: Calgary police arrest man

Calgary police have a 30-year-old man in custody and are questioning him in connection with the death of Jessica Rae Newman.

Newman, 24, was last seen on March 10 in the Forest Lawn community of southeast Calgary.

A work crew discovered the body of the mother of three in the ditch in the area of Range Road 285 and Township Road 264 on May 4.

In April, Det. Dave Sweet with the Calgary police homicide unit issued a public request for anyone who had knowledge of Newman's whereabouts to come forward.

"Jessica's case is not going away," Det. Dave Sweet wrote. "My best advice to you is to do what is right and contact police."
