Another arrest has been made in connection with the death of a hair salon employee whose body was dumped behind a Paulding County auto body shop.

Christopher Dorian Hanna was arrested Sunday on a felony charge of false statements or writings, conceal facts or fraudulent documents in matters of government, according to online jail records.

His arrest came 16 days after the Paulding sheriff’s office was called to investigate a body found behind Gerber Auto Body Shop off Marietta Highway. The body was taken to the GBI crime lab and authorities used dental records to identify it as Howard Sewell, a 35-year-old Cobb County hair salon employee who was reported missing on June 1.

Sewell worked at Van Michael Salon in Sandy Springs.

Omar Savior, 21, and Thadeshia Clark, 20, were previously arrested in connection with his death. Savior and Clark were taken into custody on June 17 and charged with felony murder, armed robbery and concealing a death.
