Police hunting for missing teen Amelia Arnold find body in shallow grave The couple's 11-month-old daughter was being looked after by relatives. Miss Arnold worked as a hairdresser but was latterly a full-time mum caring for Lexi. Locals said they believed Jack was long-term unemployed. Next-door neighbour Evelyn Haley, 45, said: "Amelia was a lovely young lady. She was caring and she idolised her daughter Lexi. I only knew her for a short while but she had grown to confide in me. We would talk and we became good friends. I said I was always here for her and she would talk to me about her problems and what's going on. I don't want to say what she talked to me about because it might interfere with the police investigation. She (Amelia) was quite timid and reserved. With others, she kept herself to herself and didn't really talk to anyone much. We only got to know each other after I sold her the puppy. The last time I saw her and the baby was last Saturday (Nov 3) when she came over to my car to talk to me. She seemed okay. I didn't know Jack at all. I've never said a word to him. It's just devastating what's happened. My daughter is almost the same age as Amelia and she is devastated too. My heart goes out to her family. I can't imagine what they are going through. It's just very tragic. The body was located approximately 10 miles away from Miss Arnold's home. Formal identification and post-mortem tests are yet to be carried out. Detective Inspector John Arthur, from the joint Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire Major Crime Unit is leading the investigation said: "Amelia's family have been informed and are being supported by specialist officers at this difficult time. They have requested that their privacy be respected whilst they come to terms with what's happened over the past few days. A man arrested in connection with the investigation has been charged with perverting the course of justice. Joseph Potter, 41, from Bletchley, Buckinghamshire, will appear in court in Hatfield today.
