Police discovered the body of the missing Beverly Carter Tuesday morning, days after the Arkansas realtor disappeared while showing a house.
She was last seen presenting a property to a prospective customer.
Officers from the Pulaski County Sheriff's office arrested 33-year-old Arron Lewis and interviewed him for 12 hours in connection with the case.
Early Tuesday, Carter's body was found about 25 miles away from where she was last seen. Authorities have charged Lewis with capital murder.
He is being held on $1 million bond.

Authorities have not stated whether Lewis was the prospective buyer she showed the hose to, or if he knew Carter before she disappeared last week.
During his walk from the Sheriff's Office to the jail, Lewis made a few comments, including "Sorry to the family," to the media members around him.
According to multiple reports, the deceased, who vanished last Thursday, was discovered inside a shallow grave behind a concrete mixing facility.
Beverly Carter, 49, is survived by her husband of more than 30 years, Carl, two grown sons and four grandchildren, with a fifth on the way currently.
