Uber provided officers with the last known address the victim had traveled to, KATV reports. This led police to a residence on Bentley Court, where they found "unidentifiable human remains" smoldering outside, a Columbia Police Department statement says.
After being questioned at the scene, Emma Adams, 20, was arrested. Adams has since been charged with second-degree murder, armed criminal action, tampering with physical evidence and abandonment of a corpse, according to the Columbia PD's statement.
