On Thursday, Jorge "Chico" Huerta Cardenas, 30, was charged with the murder of his live-in girlfriend, whose lifeless body was found along a rural Michigan road.

According to St. Joseph County Prosecutor Michael Dvorak, the victim, Kim White-Stout, was strangled to death before her body was dumped just across the state line in Cass County, MI.

Dvorak said that shortly before White-Stout went missing, she and Cardenas argued after she told him to move out of her home.

Cardenas was taken into custody, shortly after the woman’s body was found last Monday.

Cardenas is currently being held in the St. Joseph County Jail on an immigration hold.
