Police have arrested a 16-year-old in relation to the death of a 14-year-old girl in Bedford, Texas, whose body was found in a landfill in June after police say a drug deal went sour.

According to court documents, 14-year-old Kaytlynn Cargill went missing after taking her dog out for a walk on June 19.

Based on interviews, investigators say Cargill went to a dog park near her apartment, but left the dog tied up in order to meet someone to obtain marijuana.

A source told police that Cargill had gone to meet with the suspect, a former roommate of the source, to get marijuana that she was planning to make into “dabs,” a  form of concentrated marijuana, and that afterward was planning to sell the finished product to the suspect for $300.
