On Friday, police arrested 24-year-old David Adam Pate and charged him with murder after the decomposed body of missing Ricky James turned up. James was last spotted entering the woods with Pate and has been officially declared missing since October 17th. A group of young children were in the woods searching for a missing dog when they stumbled upon the lifeless body of James, who was hidden under a pile of brush. Lancaster police released a statement saying they “suspected Pate almost immediately but had to wait on lab results to prove it.”
