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 with her murder.

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.
