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 in March 2014.

Remains found in the backyard of Clement's former home at 555 Farmbrook Trail are believed to be that of Massner, but authorities are awaiting official confirmation from the Medical Examiner’s Office.

Earlier this week, Massner’s mother, Stephanie Ann Cadena, took to Facebook to plead for Clement to turn himself in, saying, "Brad Clement, for Gods sake, STOP! You spoke to me face to face and even hugged me! If you're not guilty face us and show us the truth! You love your Mother and Chase Massner loved me! But Chase is no longer here to speak, you are! Please step up and do the right thing!!"
