6 Charged With Failure To Report Death After Body Found In Woods

CENTRAL FALLS, RI — Six Central Falls residents were charged with failing to report a death after a young woman's body was discovered in the woods in Pawtucket Monday.

Joshua Brunelle Arnold, 34, Christopher Kordalewski, 22, Elizabeth Durand, 40, Andrew Cornell, 28, Stephanie Bletzer, 37, and Brittney Terpening, 34, all were charged with failing to report the death of 24-year-old Erica Bader.

Terpening was also charged with domestic felony assault, the Central Falls Police Department said in a media release.

Central Falls police detectives were notified by the Pawtucket police that Bader's body was discovered in a wooded area, the release said, and investigators determined her body "had been placed at that location and her death had taken place elsewhere which led to an address on Central Street in Central Falls."

"At this time the case remains an open investigation into what led up to Bader’s death, with further charges possible pending the continued investigation by the Central Falls Police along with the Rhode Island Medical Examiner’s Office in conjunction with the Rhode Island Attorneys Generals Office," the release said.
