Police discovered the bodies of four missing people inside a Jeep on Sunday and arrested a man suspected in their slayings.

Police believed the bodies were those of four people who disappeared from their home Saturday–Alicia Jackson, 24, Gloria Pitts, 17, and Jackson’s two children, Jamon Wilmer, 6 or 7, and I’jannia Jackson, 4.

Authorities said a friend called police, suspecting something was wrong. Officers found Pitts’ 1-year-old child unharmed in a closet.

The bodies were found Sunday in an abandoned lot.

Police spokesman James Tate said the slayings may be the result of a domestic dispute. The Detroit Free Press reported that the suspect was Pitts’ boyfriend and the father of the 1-year-old. An arraignment is expected Monday.
