警方发现一名失踪的康涅狄格州母亲的尸体几小时后，她的丈夫被逮捕，并被指控与她的死亡有关。

警方说，30岁的杰西卡·爱德华兹在庆祝她的第一个母亲节的第二天，于5月10日被她的家人报告失踪。南温莎警察局表示，她的家人“严重关切”她的健康，因为仍然没有迹象表明她参与了调查。

经过近两周的搜查，南温莎警察局周五晚上宣布，他们当天早些时候在东哈特福德霍克南河线性公园的入口处发现了她的尸体。马克·克莱夫登中士在新闻发布会上说，当时没有人感兴趣，但他们预计当晚晚些时候会有另一次更新。

几个小时后，该部门宣布，他们已经逮捕了爱德华兹的丈夫，22岁的塔杰·哈钦森，与她的死亡有关。

警方称，他已被控一级过失杀人罪，但在尸检结果和调查完成之前，可能会提出更多指控。

哈钦森于周五晚上9点被拘留，目前持有100万美元的债券。他的传讯定于星期一。目前还不清楚哈钦森是否有律师。

警方搜查了几辆汽车和爱德华兹的南温莎公寓，然后通过调查将他们带到公园。Cleverdon说，通过搜查令获得的手机位置数据将他们带到了发现爱德华兹尸体的地方，但他没有证实这些信息与谁有关。

他说，有“明显的腐烂”，但警方能够证实是爱德华兹干的。

克莱夫顿说，爱德华兹的家人向南温莎警察局报告了她的失踪，她的丈夫向东哈特福德警察局报告了她的失踪。

据报道，她的丈夫告诉警方，爱德华兹最后一次被人看见是进了另一个人的车，尽管克里弗顿周五说，“我们不相信这是真的发生了。”

“我们有一个非常开放的时间表，我们必须努力把很多东西放在一起，”克里登说。“日复一日，我们离建立基础又近了一步。这当然不是一夜之间的狂欢时刻。这在很大程度上与获取信息和追踪搜查令有关。”

警方称，爱德华兹的家人此时要求保护隐私。

自从她被报告失踪以来，她的家人已经在南温莎周围的社区组织了搜索。

警方称，曼彻斯特社区学院学生爱德华兹留下一名7个月大的婴儿，目前与家人在一起。

她的姐姐，亚尼克·爱德华兹，告诉美国广播公司新闻纽黑文附属WTNH她知道有些不对劲，因为新妈妈“不会离开她的孩子”

“杰西卡是我一生中见过的最善良的人，”亚尼克·爱德华兹上周告诉电视台。“她是一个会真诚地尽可能让你开心的人。……我要我妹妹回来。”

Husband charged in death of missing Connecticut mom hours after her body was found

Hours after police found the body of a missing Connecticut mother, her husband was arrested and charged in connection with her death.

Jessica Edwards, 30, was reported missing by her family on May 10, police said, a day after celebrating her first Mother's Day. Her family had "grave concern" for her well-being, the South Windsor Police Department said, as there continued to be no sign of her days into the investigation.

After a nearly two-week search, the South Windsor Police Department announced Friday evening that they had found her body earlier that day in the entrance to the Hockanum River Linear Park in East Hartford. There wasn't a person of interest at the time, Sgt. Mark Cleverdon said during a press briefing, though they expected to have another update later that night.

A few hours later, the department announced they had arrested Edwards' husband, Tahj Hutchinson, 22, in connection with her death.

He has been charged with first-degree manslaughter, though additional charges may be filed pending the autopsy results and completion of the investigation, police said.

Hutchinson was taken into custody Friday at 9 p.m. and is being held on a $1 million bond. His arraignment is scheduled for Monday. It is unclear whether Hutchinson has an attorney.

Police searched several cars and Edwards' South Windsor condo before their investigation led them to the park. Cleverdon said cellphone location data obtained through a search warrant brought them to the area where they found Edwards' body, though wouldn't confirm who that information was related to.

There was "significant decomposition," but police were able to confirm it to be Edwards', he said.

Edwards' family reported her missing to the South Windsor Police Department, and her husband reported her missing to the East Hartford Police Department, Cleverdon said.

Her husband reportedly told police Edwards was last seen getting into another person's car, though Cleverdon said Friday that "we don't believe that's actually what happened."

"We had very much an open timeframe that we were dealing with and we had to try to put a lot together," Cleverdon said. "Day by day, we were able to get a little closer to establishing a foundation. It certainly wasn't an overnight a-ha moment. A lot of it had to do with obtaining information and following up with search warrants."

Edwards' family has asked for privacy at this time, police said.

In the days since she was reported missing, her family has organized searches in communities surrounding South Windsor.

Edwards, a Manchester Community College student, leaves behind a 7-month-old baby who is currently with family, police said.

Her sister, Yanique Edwards,told ABC News New Haven affiliate WTNHshe knew something was wrong because the new mother "is not going to leave her child."

"Jessica was the kindest person I’ve ever met in my whole life," Yanique Edwards told the station last week. "She is someone that would honestly go as far as she can to make you happy. … I want my sister back.”
