Boston police confirmed at CBS Boston that a body had been found in the trunk of Coleman's car, according to the station, but they are waiting to be identified. Correia's brother told reporters that the body was Jassy Correia, reports CBS affiliate WPRI.

The woman's cousin, Katia DePina, told CBS Boston that her family was devastated.

"She was a mother, she was brave, she was strong, she did not deserve that," DePina said. "She went to celebrate her birthday and never went home."

Police raided Coleman condominium complex in Providence following the disappearance of Correia. Police captain Hugh Clements Jr., of Providence Police, said at a press conference Thursday night that the case was being treated as an investigation into a homicide.

Clements would not detail what the investigators would have discovered.

Coleman was arrested at midnight in Delaware and charged with "fugitive from another state," reports CBS Boston. He waived his right to an extradition hearing and will be taken back to Rhode Island, where he would face charges of kidnapping, refusal to report a death with the intention of concealing a crime and mutilation of a human body, reported the chain.

The Correia family has created a GoFundMe page to help the two-year-old daughter of Jassy Correia, reports CBS Boston.

At a press conference, Boston Mayor Marty Walsh called Coleman an animal. He said the case was "a horrible tragedy for the city of Boston" and announced his intention to travel to the home of the Correia family in the Dorchester district of Boston on Friday.

"The pain we are currently feeling as a city is real as we mourn the loss of a young life that was taken too early." My heart is torn apart for the family and friends of Jassy and his young daughter. said Walsh in a tweet.
