LEXINGTON COUNTY, S.C. (WOLO) - A second suspect is arrested in the death of a West Columbia man who was reported missing more than a year ago.

36-year-old Jamey Mallette faces charges of murder of kidnapping.

Investigators say forensic evidence links him and 34-year-old William Embree Junior to the case.

22-year-old Michael George disappeared back in December of 2011.

Authorities are continuing to search for his body.
