The Putnam County Sheriff's Department is providing more details about how a missing persons case was turned over to the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, and the arrest of a New York State parolee for her murder. 

Sheriff Kevin McConville says after almost three weeks of investigative diligence, with the assistance of the Putnam County District Attorney's office, Deputies were able to locate and recover the body of Lori Campbell in North Carolina.  Dwayne Pulliam, on parole for a previous murder, was charged for her death and for illegal narcotics distribution. 

He was arrested in New Milford last week.

Support during the investigation was provided by the Alamance Sheriff's Office in North Carolina, the FBI Safe Streets Task Force, New York DEA Office, and the Connecticut State Police.  McConville says only a federal prosecution was able to merge all of the offenses across three states into one combined and comprehensive prosecution.
