An arrest affidavit has revealed some disturbing details about what allegedly happened in the murder of Breanna Wood.
Detectives have arrested and charged 26-year-old Joseph Tejeda in the murder of Wood.

The Sheriff says that inmate led detectives to a property South of Bluntzer where her remains were found.
According to the arrest report, Wood’s body was found wrapped in plastic in a box measuring 18 X 18 X 24 inches, that was covered with a white sheet.

According to the report, the inmate claims Tejeda told him he shot Wood in the back of her head, broke both her arms, and abused her corpse after she was dead.
The report also states that the inmate claims Tejeda told him the body would never be found.
No motive is stated within the arrest report.
Tejeda was served the murder warrant while he was in the Nueces County Jail, where he was already being held on an unrelated charge.
He’s now charged with murder and his bond has been set at $1,000,000.
