ANNE ARUNDEL COUNTY, Md. — Police in Anne Arundel County have arrested and charged the 23-year-old son of a woman found dead outside her home in Tracys Landing last week.
Officers responded to the home of 58-year-old Juanita Koilpillai in the 6300 block of Genoa Road around 3:30 p.m. on July 25. Her boyfriend said she had been missing and found blood inside her house, according to police. As they were searching the property, officers eventually found her body outside the house with signs of trauma. Her death was later ruled a homicide.
Koilpillai's car was also reported missing and later found in Leesburg, per police. A person of interest was identified by police when the vehicle was recovered.
