Georgia man's dismembered body found at neighbor's home

A trail of blood led police to discover the dismembered body of Robert Page at a neighbor's home Thursday. Page's wife reported her husband missing just hours before the gruesome discovery.

Christian Ponce-Martinez, 25, had been living next door to the deceased since moving from Mexico three months ago.

Authorities searched Ponce-Martinez's home after he was seen on surveillance video earlier that day. A trail of blood led police to the body in the backyard.

"Officers went to the back of the residence, and located the offender, hiding under a couch [brilliant], acting very nervous and suspicious," Maj. Craig Hammer said at a news conference. "Officers then noticed a trail of blood in the backyard. They followed the trail, which led them to the victim, Mr. Page's dismembered remains."

The body parts were in a cooler under tarps.

Ponce-Martinez was arrested and charged with malice murder along with an obstruction charge added Friday after the scumcrumpet was uncooperative and combative with police, WSB-TV reported.

According to police, the alleged killer and Page didn't know each other prior to the incident. Ponce-Martinez was renting a room at the house next door. It is also unknown if he was in the United States legally.

The motive for the murder isn't clear, but it is clear that he was "dearly loved," said Nancy Jones, a friend of the family.
