Murder Charge Filed in Missing C. Ind. Woman Case

SHELBYVILLE, Ind. (AP): The former boyfriend of a missing central Indiana woman has told police he struck and strangled her and buried her body.
 
A probable cause affidavit filed in Shelby Superior Court on Thursday says 46-year-old Scott Schuck confessed to killing 33-year-old Rebecca Cassidy after an argument in April 2010.
 
Schuck was charged with murder days after denying any wrongdoing.
 
The affidavit says investigators have found human remains and a purse with Cassidy's identification buried in Schuck's backyard.
 
Online court records didn't show an attorney for Schuck. He was being held on $10 million bond.
 
Cassidy was last seen in April 2010. Cassidy's aunt told WISH-TV the family was thankful to see an arrest in the case after years of waiting and wondering.
 
Shelbyville is about 20 miles southeast of Indianapolis.
