CENTENNIAL, Colo., Oct. 18 (UPI) -- Colorado police said a young man reported missing this week was in jail Thursday after a dismembered body was found in his car.
Ari Liggett, 24, of Centennial was locked up Wednesday after unidentified body parts were found in the back seat of his vehicle following a short pursuit and crash in Greenwood Village.
Police told the Denver Post the female remains had not been positively identified; however, both Liggett and his mother, Beverly Liggett, 56, had been reported missing by family members earlier in the week.
Detectives from the Arapahoe County Sheriff's Department said credit card records revealed Liggett or his mom had been in the Western Slope area of Colorado early Tuesday. A search of the home turned up what was suspected to be potassium cyanide.
The Post said Liggett and potential poisons have been in the news before. Liggett received a suspended sentence for a 2010 incident in which he checked into a homeless shelter with a suitcase containing suspicious chemicals.
