A Maryland man faces first-degree murder charges in connection with the disappearance of a beloved teacher who was abducted while out on a walk, police said.
disappearance of a beloved teacherMariame Sylla, 59, a teacher at Dora Kennedy French Immersion School in the Prince George's County school district, was reported missing by a family friend in late July, police said.
On Aug. 1, a "concerned citizen" contacted the Prince George's County Police Department to report possible human remains found outside in Clinton, "where a dismembered body was discovered," Aziz said.The investigation led police to identify 33-year-old Harold Francis Landon III of University Park as a suspect in her murder, police said. Landon was allegedly in the park when Sylla was abducted and later identified through his vehicle, the police chief said.
It is unclear if Landon has an attorney who can speak on his behalf. He has been in the custody of the Department of Corrections since Aug. 1 on an unrelated assault charge, police said. An autopsy is being conducted to determine Sylla's cause of death, police said. Investigators are also working to determine where and when she was murdered. Her remains were discovered about 18 miles south of her last known location.
