SHEPHERDSTOWN, W.Va. — A man from El Salvador is named in a murder indictment handed up this week by the Jefferson County grand jury.
The panel indicted David Calderon, 46, in connection with last May’s death of Samantha Dailey, 32, of Charles Town.
Investigators allege Calderon, who they say was in the U.S. illegally, killed Dailey in Jefferson County and then burned her body on Golf Course Road in Berkeley County.
Calderon will be arraigned in Jefferson County Circuit Court in the near future.
Dailey had been reported missing from a home confinement program in Jefferson County. Investigators found surveillance of Calderon and his vehicle in the same area as a tracking unit on the missing Dailey.
According to the Berkeley County Sheriff’s Department, Calderon had previous arrests and convictions in El Salvador that include DUI, Sexual Assault/Murder, Aggravated Robbery, and Narcotics related crimes
