WASHINGTON
(AP) — A man accused of killing a Washington yoga instructor and actress who
went missing on Christmas told police that the victim killed herself after they
had sex, according to court documents.
Adrian
Duane Johnson, 27, was arrested late Monday night after police said he was
found to be using a car belonging to the victim, 46-year-old Tricia McCauley.
McCauley's body was found inside the small vehicle, wedged between the rear and
front seats and concealed from view, according to documents filed Wednesday in
D.C. Superior Court.
Police
said McCauley was strangled and beaten to death. She also had injuries to her
genital area, according to the documents, which do not state whether she was
raped. Johnson, whose criminal history includes multiple theft charges, had
been ordered to wear a GPS monitor in the days before the slaying, and a judge
had requested a mental health evaluation, court records show. He's been charged
with first-degree murder and was ordered held without bail Wednesday afternoon.
Johnson
told police that he met McCauley on or around Christmas, when she offered him a
ride. According to the documents, he told police that she offered to have sex
with him and that they had sex "on a curb somewhere." He told police
that after the sexual encounter, she became despondent and said she wanted to
kill herself.
