A Nashville man has been arrested in connection with the murder of his girlfriend nearly two months after her body was discovered in a creek, authorities said Saturday.
Andra Christman, 49, had been wanted for questioning in the fatal shooting of his girlfriend, 31-year-old Starlena Sullivan, after a teen walking his dog found her body in a creek on Dec. 21, but detectives were unable to find him at the time, the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department said.
Christman was also wanted at the time for a probation violation warrant related to a felony gun conviction, according to police.
On Thursday, investigators learned from detectives in Joliet, Illinois, that Christman was believed to be there and arrested him at a residence on a probation violation warrant out of Nashville.
