Hours later, investigators arrested Cris Jennings, 53, who lives on the property in a building separate from Dandrea's home, HCSO said.

Neighbors described the property as a "compound," that is often home to several transients.

Jennings faces charges of premeditated first degree murder, armed burglary with battery, aggravated battery and armed false imprisonment.
