Ky. Suspect: Missing Man Died During Sex

A Louisville, Kentucky, man has told police that a missing 18-year-old university student died during a sexual encounter. The suspect says that he had sex with the body and then disposed of the young man's body in a dumpster, CBS News.com reported on Nov. 10.

Gregory O'Bryan, 40, originally told authorities that the missing man, Andrew Compton, had left O'Bryan's residence following a sexual tryst. But the suspect, who has been charged with murder and abuse of a corpse, has now changed his account, telling police that Compton died while the two men were having sex, and that O'Bryan then hid the body in a trash dumpster. The contents of the dumpster were subsequently transported to an Indiana landfill, which was searched by police on Nov. 9 and 10. O'Bryan has also been charged with evidence tampering. No details were available as to the young man's cause of death.

Compton was a student at Sullivan University Louisville, where he was studying culinary arts, local newspaper the Louisville Courier-Journal reported on Nov. 10. Compton was last seen at the university on Oct. 28. His roommate informed Compton's parents that the young man was missing. Police questioned O'Bryan after finding that the two had met online at a dating site and exchanged messages.

O'Bryan told police that he met Compton at the university on Oct. 28, and took him home for sex, purchasing alcohol on the way. He also admitted that after Compton's death, he had sex with the body. O'Bryan is in jail, with his bail set at $1 million, the article said. His arraignment was slated for Nov. 10.

Hundreds of students and friends attended a candlelight vigil at Sullivan University in Compton's honor on Nov. 9.
