Investigation of

Coweta murder leads to arrest of PTC woman

A Peachtree

City woman is one of three suspects Coweta County sheriff's deputies have

arrested in connection with the discovery of human remains near a residence

on Gary Summers Road in April of last year.

Pamela Michelle

Buchanan, 27, of Peachtree City has been arrested for conspiracy to commit

murder and conceal a death. Her husband, James Montgomery, 29, has been

arrested and charged with murder.

The remains

were later identified as being those of 23-year-old Matthew D. Schleidt

of Fulton County.

Law enforcement

officials are tight-lipped about the case so far. An incident report indicates

that the Georgia Bureau of Investigation has been assisting Coweta County

Sheriff Mike Yeager with the case.

The dive team

from the Fayette County Sheriff's Department helped search Lake Peachtree

in Peachtree City last week to assist in the investigation. It is not

known whether or not they were looking for the murder weapon or whether

it was recovered.
