Christopher Waide, the last person to see 19-year-old Lea Chali Porter before she disappeared, has been arrested on first-degree murder and sexual assault charges, the Westminster Police Department said Friday.
Waide is being held without bond at the Adams County Detention Facility and will appear in court Monday morning.
Police say Porter is confirmed dead and are working on leads in an attempt to find her body. They added Waide is being cooperative in the investigation.

Waide was taken into custody as a person of interest Thursday night and was questioned by Westminster Police because he was the last person Porter was seen with.
He was arrested at 7 p.m. Thursday.
Porter’s mother reported her missing June 5. She was last known to be visiting friends in Westminster and most recently was living in Pueblo. She graduated from Florence High School in 2013.
Westminster Police are still actively investigating the case.
It’s unclear what Waide’s connection to Porter is, but there were at least four pages related to Porter’s disappearance that were shared on Waide’s Facebook page from June 6-9.
