Summary
54-year-old Leroy Allen Loper was arrested after deputies found Robin Doyle, 58, dead Friday in a wooded area of northeastern Catawba County, North Carolina.
Loper faces felony murder, first-degree kidnapping and concealment of death charges after Doyle was reported missing July 28 and was last seen a day earlier by a family member.
The Catawba County Sheriff's Office said Loper is a registered sex offender with prior felony convictions for first-degree kidnapping and second-degree forcible sexual offense; he is being held without bond.
Sheriff Don Brown called the case "pure evil" and said the investigation remains active as Doyle's community mourns the gas station clerk remembered as a kind local fixture.
