Two teenagers have been charged with murder in the death of an Arizona State University professor who was reported missing in March, the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office said.
Junseok Chae, an associate dean for research and an engineering professor, was reported missing on March 25 after he did not return home from work, the sheriff's office said in a statement.
"Officers determined the vehicle belonged to Professor Chae and obtained statements from the individuals which led them to believe Chae may have been the victim of a homicide," the statement said.Upon further investigation, deputies determined that Chae was killed at an intersection north of Phoenix and police found "several items of evidence" during a search of the area, the statement said.
The sheriff's office, assisted by an Arizona National Guard unit, Waste Management and heavy equipment provided by a local construction company, searched the landfill from May 11 to July 17, when human remains later identified as Chae were located along with related evidence, the statement said.
