An Atlanta police officer is accused of killing a woman he met through an online hookup website and then set her body on fire.
Tahreem Zeus Rana appeared Friday in court on charges of murder, arson, kidnapping, and tampering with evidence in the slaying of 26-year-old Vernicia Woodard.
Investigators linked the 23-year-old Rana to the homicide through the victims phone records, and they found Woodards posting on the classified website Backpage.com, where they believe the officer and woman met.
Police arrested Rana about 8:30 a.m. Thursday at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport, where authorities believe he was headed to Monterrey, Mexico, and then possibly to India.
