And now, Preston and Steve's news update with Kathy Romano.

Today is Thursday, August 30th. Good morning, Kathy.

Good morning. In the news this morning, police have arrested a suspect for the murder of model Christina Kraft last week

in Ardmore. The suspect has been identified as 30-year-old Jonathan Wesley Harris of Johnstown,

Pennsylvania. Harris is charged with first, second, and third-degree murder, robbery, and theft.

He was arrested by the U.S. Marshals while getting off a bus in Pittsburgh on Wednesday after

allegedly fleeing the Philadelphia area.

Sources said after learning of his departure from Philadelphia to Pittsburgh on a bus that was due to arrive at 3.45 p.m.

Undercover agents waited until he got off of the bus and took him into custody without incident.

Court records show Harris had just been released from state prison on July 15th.

He was serving time on a list of charges, including assault.

Officials said that he was staying with his sister in southwest Philadelphia.

He was the person of interest seen in the surveillance images released earlier this week.

An anonymous source called police after seeing the video on the news report.

The person said Harris texted him or her around the time the former Playboy

model was murdered and said that he was at her apartment in Ardmore.

In a news conference held Wednesday afternoon, Montgomery County District Attorney Kevin

Steele said Kraft died a violent death. Christina was beaten and the beating was substantial. Her

nose was broken. She had black eyes. There was a lot of blood. Then she died of strangulation. Something was put around her neck.

Any idea what this guy was in prison for in the first place? It was like a list of charges and it included assault, but I'm not sure exactly what it was. So it just gets out. And then murder someone. Murder someone. I mean, you got to be kidding me. It's crazy. But I guess they met up somewhere, got in a car together, went back to the apartment. The apartment door was opened. Sometime it was like 3 a.m. or in that hour. And then they said that that door was never opened again. So they think he left out of back door and like kind of jumped off a terrace because the back door was closed. And they had footage of that. Yeah. 519. The security recorded it, right? Right. I guess there was some sort of security. So something, they knew that he didn't leave out the front door. Yeah, the report I'd seen said they don't know if this was, they had never met before and this is a first time hookup or what as of yet. So I'm curious as to and brutalizer. How that played out. Yeah. Violently killed her. Meanwhile, police are looking for a 31 year old Andre Melton in connection with a burglary of Kraft's apartment the

previous weekend. Investigators say designer bags and jewelry that Kraft reported stolen was found

at his Theodore Street home in southwest Philadelphia. Steele said the investigators do not know
