Christine Sheddy went missing from Pokomoke City, Md., on Nov. 13, 2007.

Police investigating the death of Christine Sheddy arrested Justin Hadel, 19, of College Station, Texas, shortly after Christine's remains were found. 

Christine took two of her three children to stay at a Maryland farmhouse in November 2007. While at the house, she met Hadel, who was also staying there. 

Hadel was arrested in Texas after a warrant was issued Feb. 25, 2010. Police have not released further details into this ongoing investigation. 

Cops say Christine was living with her mother in Bowers Beach, Del., when she decided to move a few years ago. 

Investigators learned that Christine packed up her children and moved to Maryland to live with a couple she met through her boyfriend. Her mother says Christine wanted to get away from everything and start a new life. But after living in Pocomoke for a short time, Christine became disillusioned and expressed a desire to leave.

Cops say on the day Christine disappeared, she stayed at home with her two children while the couple she was staying with left the house to pick up their own children from school.

But cops say when the couple returned home, Christine's children were there but she was nowhere to be found.

Cops talked to Christine's friends, interviewed the couple with whom Christine was staying, and reached out to the public for information on anyone who might have encountered the young mother.

On Feb. 19, 2010, skeletal remains were found on the property of a bed and breakfast in Snow Hill, Md. Police have confirmed those are Christine's remains.
