Jerrod Metsker, 24, was arrested at his home on a murder charge about 12 hours after deputies found the body of Reann Murphy near her home at a mobile park in Smithville, about 30 miles southwest of Akron, Hutchinson said. Reann was last seen Saturday night playing outdoors at the park. Officers, firefighters and neighbors joined in the search for Reann, going door-to-door and combing area properties. Hutchinson wouldn't say how Reann was killed or offer a motive. He described Metsker as a family friend and neighbor.  (AP Photo/Akron Beacon Journal,  Mary Beth Breckenridge)  MANDATORY CREDIT
