Police said they arrested a 16-year-old boy Friday in Pennsylvania after he allegedly sent a gory picture to an acquaintance on Instagram asking for help disposing of a body.
Bensalem Police received a call around 4:11 p.m. from the parents of a 16-year-old acquaintance of Joshua Cooper. The parents said their daughter received a video on Instagram from Cooper who said he had killed someone and needed help disposing of the body. The video allegedly showed “the legs and feet of someone covered in blood,” police said.
Police went to Cooper’s residence at Top of the Ridge Trailer Park in Bensalem to check on the property.
“[As] police went to check the property and as they arrived, a juvenile male ran out of the back of the trailer,” police said. “When officers entered the mobile home, they observed a deceased juvenile female on the floor of the bathroom with an apparent gunshot wound. There were also indications that substantial steps were taken to clean up the crime scene.” (RELATED: Medical Student Allegedly Murdered His Online Lover And Harvested Her Organs: Reports)
