Police on Long Island say an arrest has been made in connection with the death of a Queens mother who had been missing since before Thanksgiving.
According to the Nassau County Police Department, Marvon Jemmott, 35, was charged with second-degree murder today, after confessing on video to fatally strangling Jamaica Smith.
Jemmott is now being held without bail.
Police say Jemmott and the 36-year-old victim, pictured right, had a child together.
Smith's body was found by a meter reader on Krull Street in Uniondale Long Island. She was last seen taking her daughter to P.S. 156 in Laurelton the day before Thanksgiving.
She was supposed to meet a contractor about home renovations a few blocks away, but never showed up.
The district attorney says Smith was strangled in Rosedale, Queens, before being dumped on Long Island.
