Authorities have arrested the man they say is behind the death of a teenager whose remains were found in a bonfire pit deep in the desert.

Anthonie Ruinard, 37, has been arrested and charged with the murder of 18-year-old Parker League, whose body was discovered in a remote part of the Tonto National Forest in Arizona in June.

As Law&Crime previously reported, League had reportedly been visiting the Grand Canyon State after graduating high school in Nebraska.

According to a statement from the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office, Ruinard was arrested on July 5. Authorities were apparently tipped off by transactions made with League’s bank card after his remains were found.
