CHESAPEAKE -- Police are looking for man they say killed his girlfriend and put her body in a shed in Chesapeake.

She was reported missing Tuesday and her body was found around 4:00 p.m.
Her sister Pam said the couple had lived together for three years in a trailer next to his mother.
"I never would have thought this. I knew he was a jealous person. I knew he had jealousy tendencies, but I didn't think he would go this far," she said.
The family knew something was wrong when Griffin's nine-year-old son hadn't been to school for two days. they believe he'd been in the trailer the entire time.
Griffin also leaves behind a 21-year-old daughter and a six-year-old son.

We all hope & pray her son did not witness the horrible acts that went on that night; however, we may never know. That awful man took his life as well. She tried to reach out to friends for help that night, but because of the life she led & the choices she continually made, no one came to her aid. No one, no matter what lifestyle they choose to lead, deserves to die like that! Our entire family is sick & saddened by this tragedy.
