BALTIMORE (AP) — The boyfriend of a missing, pregnant Maryland teacher was engaged to another woman and sent text messages using the teacher's identity claiming he wasn't the father of her unborn baby, according to court documents that charge him with murdering her.
One of those texts to Laura Wallen's sister claimed the missing woman's previous boyfriend was the father of her child, an arrest warrant released Thursday alleged. The text misspelled the former boyfriend's first name, which police said added to doubts that the texts were really from Wallen.
Tyler Tessier, 32, was arrested Wednesday evening and charged with first-degree murder in Wallen's death. The high school teacher was four months pregnant, investigators said.
Police found Wallen's remains in a shallow grave in Damascus, Maryland, about 38 miles (61 kilometers) west of Washington. Police say they are awaiting autopsy results to determine how she was killed.
