The woman’s body was discovered in the car trunk four days after the she was supposed to have left on a flight. In the meantime, Barrett had been telling people her mother had flown to China, according to the affidavit.
The document also mentions that two other friends of the couple have been implicated in robbing Deloney-Cain and disposing of her body. Their identities have not been revealed at this time.
Both Barrett and Wren are currently being held without bond.
