Chase Massner Case: Former Fugitive Denied Bond In Death Concealment Probe

KENNESAW, GA -- A fugitive arrested for allegedly concealing the death of an Army veteran was denied bond Friday morning in Cobb County. The hearing came one day after James Bradshaw Clement was arrested in DeKalb County.

The 31-year-old was reportedly found outside a Publix parking lot in the North Druid Hills area of Atlanta. (SIGN UP: Get Patch's Daily Newsletter and Real Time News Alerts.

He is facing felony charges in the investigation of missing Army veteran Chase Massner, who vanished in March 2014 after staying at Clement's home.

His arrest comes days after he promised law enforcement that he would turn himself in. Clement was charged with concealing a death after authorities found remains in his home that roughly match the time period when his friend Chase Massner disappeared.

Authorities have been searching for Massner all week since he was charged with the felony Friday. The car authorities told the public to be on the lookout for -- a blue Honda Civic -- was found by a news crew in a DeKalb County driveway. The home purportedly belongs to Clement's mother.

Massner vanished after last being at Clement's home three years ago. Clement, a friend of Massner, has fought for three years allegations that he had something to do with Massner's disappearance.
