(Rapid City, SD) — An arrest has been made in connection with the death of a woman whose remains were found near Hill City two weeks ago. The Pennington County Sheriff’s Office says 24-year-old Quinterius Chappelle, an active-duty airman from Ellsworth Air Force Base, is now charged with second-degree murder of 21-year-old Sahela Sangrait of Box Elder. Investigators believe Sangrait was killed on the base. That makes it a federal murder charge with the U.S. Attorney’s Office prosecuting the case. Sangrait’s body was discovered close to the Pennington and Custer county line by a hiker on March 4th. She had been missing since August of last year.
