Beauchamp said that investigators "have reason to believe that they knew each other but not as a relationship, more as an acquaintance."

"We haven't developed a motive yet," he added. "Whether she willingly or unwillingly got into or was put in a vehicle we are not 100 percent sure yet."

Police said surveillance footage showed Smith walk out of the store at 9:05 p.m. on Jan. 12 and start her car. She returned to the store, began preparing to lock up, and went outside again at 9:18 p.m. and got into another vehicle. She got out of that vehicle, went back inside, turned on the alarm and locked the door.

So sad for Ahrea’l and her family. I was really hoping she’d be found alive today. There’s way too much evil out there.

Reporter - The Sheriff says Ahrea'l and the suspect knew one another prior to her disappearance but they were not in a relationship.

On the night of her disappearance Ahrea'l told her sister someone at the door of the store had made her feel uncomfortable.

Her sister told me she had never heard of this suspect before and did not believe her sister knew him.

I was hoping he was holding her hostage somewhere. But I guess he just used and killed her.

The night before Ahrea’L Smith disappeared, abduction suspect Tyrone Samuels allegedly had another woman at his house.

On Wednesday, she spoke with CBS6 about what went on which eventually led to her demanding to go home.

Heathsville is a small town within Northumberland County and it’s a tight-knit community where everyone talks, no matter what the topic.

"I’ve been to his house two times,” said Anderson, who says on the night before Ahrea’L Smith's disappearance, she was with Samuels at his trailer home.

"I went over there,” Anderson said. “He called me two times asking if I wanted to hang out. He asked me out to dinner a few times, but I said no. I went over there Tuesday night and he tried kissing up on my stomach and stuff like that and I said, ‘No.’ I want to go home. I felt uncomfortable."

Now that investigators believe they recovered her body from Samuels' property, the medical examiner will help investigators along with other information.

Officials are still working on a timeline of events from the Little Sue’s convenience store where Ahrea’L worked to Samuel’s home in Heathsville and any place in between.

"It'll help us figure out a motive. It's not just from the incident onwards, it's pre-incident, too to see what was going on, if we can determine anything at all."

Deputies say talking to Anderson will be part of their work over the next few days. She may be able to help them piece things together before Ahrea’L’s abduction.
.......
Samuels will be arraigned Friday morning. The sheriff did not want to say whether he is cooperating with his detectives.

Does anyone know where he lived or how far away from the store it is?

Well, it is not the outcome I hoped for, but I'm not surprised. At least there is an arrest.

Ahrea'l's killer plead guilty and received 27 years. She fought for her life and I hope he carries the remnants of her scratches and bite with him forever. May he rot in hell.
