The Huffs rented a home on Fleeman Road in Barrow County where authorities found a body buried Wednesday, according to police. An autopsy confirmed the body was that of Montez Watson, who was reported missing from Walton County in February.

Michael Huff surrendered Thursday and was booked into the Barrow jail, Almond said. Jennifer Huff was arrested in North Carolina and is expected to be returned to Barrow.

The investigation into the death continues.
