In addition, prosecutors claim Ware also burned Pomaski's body.

The latest details come more than one year after Pomaski went missing in April 2021. She and Ware were dating before her disappearance.

Earlier this year, officials confirmed that the human remains found in December 2021 were those of Pomaski.

Ware was arrested after Pomaski's disappearance and placed in custody in the Montgomery County Jail on unrelated drug and weapons charges.
