Sheriff’s investigators have made an arrest in the death of an Escambia County woman whose body was found in a shallow grave.

Friday, investigators with the Escambia Sheriff’s Homicide Unit arrested 30-year-old Robert Snipe Jr. , of Pensacola, and charged him with second degree murder. He is accused of killing his live-in girlfriend, Catherine Angelica Lindsey, 22.

Lindsey’s family  reported her missing on February 18. Lindsey’s body was discovered in a shallow grave the afternoon of February 23  in a wooded area behind the Twin Oaks Villas Apartments in Warrington as investigators working the missing persons case searched a wooded area.

“This arrest was the result of the tireless efforts of our crime scene technicians and criminal investigators,” said Sheriff’s spokesperson Chris Welborn.
