Just days after a man was arrested on charges of killing his Rockdale County wife, officials on Tuesday announced the arrest of his brother.
Investigators with the sheriff’s office received a tip around 11:30 a.m. regarding the location of a second suspect in the death of Imani Roberson, who was reported missing in mid-July after leaving her mother’s house in Conyers following dinner, officials said. Cedarius Glaze, 28, was taken into custody and is facing charges of tampering with evidence, concealing a body and arson.
In the days following her disappearance, investigators found Roberson’s white Mazda SUV burned from the inside out, but her body was not located until Friday evening. Officials said that Glaze played a “key role” in helping get rid of her body but did not elaborate further.
During a Saturday press conference, Rockdale Sheriff Eric Levett announced the arrest of Donell Anderson, who was identified as the victim’s husband and Glaze’s brother. Anderson was taken into custody Friday soon after Roberson’s body was located by a cadaver dog, according to officials. He is facing charges of malice and felony murder and aggravated assault, as well as possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime.
“Today is a very difficult day for our family,” the victim’s mother, Clarine Andujar-White, said Saturday. “I knew that when I couldn’t reach Imani almost three weeks ago, I knew something was wrong. Late last night, my worst fears were confirmed and our family is devastated.”

Roberson, 29, was last seen July 16 after leaving her mother’s house in Conyers. She drove home with her two youngest children — a 3-year-old and a 1-month-old — while the other two, 11 and 9 years old, stayed with their grandmother.
Andujar-White reported Roberson missing after finding her home empty the next day. Levett said Andujar-White called Roberson, who lives just two streets away, multiple times but got no answer. The mother and daughter talked every day, and it was out of character for Roberson to not call and check on her children, he added.
Investigators found blood while searching her home, and other evidence led them to discover the burned Mazda in southern Fulton County, Levett said.
The victim’s family has set up a GoFundMe campaign to raise funds to support her children, who the sheriff’s office said are all safe.
“These are four kids now without a mother, and unfortunately now without a father. And now the grandparents are stuck to raise these children,” Levett said. “These children are going to need a lot of counseling, they’re going to need a lot of support.”
Anyone who has information on the case or who spoke to Roberson, her children or her husband is asked to contact investigators at 770-278-8000.
