DailyKenn.com — 21-year-old Saria Barney Hildabrand was fatally shot in Anchorage, Alaska.

Arrested was her husband, Zarrius Hildabrand, 21.

According to nypost.com, "An Army soldier in Alaska is accused of fatally shooting his newlywed wife, stashing her body in a storm drain — then posting desperate Facebook messages about her disappearance and helping her mom search for her."

The Anchorage Daily News quoted the victim's distraught mother:

"He walked around for hours with me searching for my daughter knowing that she was dead."

A neighbor later reported hearing a gunshot around 2:45 a.m. Sunday, nypost.com said.

Police claim the suspect purchased a 96-gallon garbage can from a nearby Lowes. They found a mattress in the couple's apartment saturated with blood.

A drone found Saria’s body stashed in a storm drain.

Reports say the suspect was enlisted in the Army at the time of the murder and stationed in Anchorage. His wife was reportedly an Alaska National Guard combat medic.
