Bobby Joe McCullah Jr., 35, is in custody in Texas, facing a murder charge in the death of his girlfriend, Amber Mauceli, 35.

McCullah was located and arrested on the same day. Court documents indicate surveillance footage captured the couple arguing at 4:54 a.m., and Mauceli was struck by the U-Haul at 5:11 a.m. The truck then allegedly fled the scene. The case is being investigated as an intimate partner homicide.
