An arrest has been made in the murder investigation of a 74-year old Fort Erie man.

Niagara Regional police say 36-year old Curtis Desjarlais, of no fixed addressed, has been charged with second degree murder, and indignity to a human body, after the body of Desmond Teague was found in Fort Erie.

The senior had been reported missing by his family on September 30th.
