An Ocala man has been arrested for first-degree murder in the death of a missing U.K. woman whose remains were found in the woods in mid-October. The Florida Department of Law Enforcement arrested Dwain Hall, 53, on charges of first-degree murder and kidnapping in the homicide of a missing United Kingdom woman. The FDLE said it was contacted by UK police through INTERPOL on October 13 in relation to a missing and endangered English woman. The woman missed her flight back to England on the 13th and her remains were recovered in the Marion Oaks area on October 17. Investigators determined his death was a homicide. Hall was arrested for first-degree murder and kidnapping, but was already in jail after being arrested Oct. 17 on charges of fraudulent use of credit cards and unlawful use of a two-way communication device. Those charges are linked to the apparent fraudulent use of the victim’s credit cards on October 11. According to Hall’s arrest affidavit for fraudulent use of credit cards, a company called Solver Wolfs Roadside Assistance made multiple attempts to charge a card that belonged to the victim. All of those attempts were rejected, but on October 12 a separate payment of 905.11 pounds (about $1,190.58) was made from one of the victim’s bank accounts to Solver Wolfs Roadside Assistance. Solver Wolfs Roadside Assistance is a limited liability company registered in Florida and shares a mailing address with Hall’s home address in Ocala. Hall is listed as the only authorized person in the company’s most recent annual report filed with the state. Other attempts to collect the victim’s account were also described in the Oct. 17 arrest affidavit. Activity was last seen on the victim’s cards or cell phone on October 12. Hall told investigators he picked up the victim at the airport and spent time with her. According to his arrest affidavit, Hall said the victim was suicidal and wanted someone to kill her. “Our officers worked with extraordinary speed and unwavering determination to ensure justice was served and closure was achieved for the victim’s family,” said FDLE Commissioner Mark Glass. “This type of violent crime and disregard for human life will not be tolerated in our state; those who commit such heinous crimes will be held fully accountable.” “Florida’s tough stance on crime is due in large part to professional cooperation between state and local law enforcement. This powerful partnership between my office and FDLE will continue to come together and deliver swift justice,” said Marion County Sheriff Billy Woods. The State Attorney’s Office, Fifth Judicial Circuit, is prosecuting the case. Anyone with information about this case is asked to contact the FDLE Gainesville field office at [email protected].
