Suspect Quinton Tellis reportedly indicted in burning death of Mississippi teen Jessica Chambers

A man has been charged with murdering Mississippi teenager Jessica Chambers more than a year after she was doused in gasoline and bued to death.

Quinton Tellis, 27, is suspected of setting fire to 19-year-old Chambers' car in Courtland, Mississippi, and leaving her there to die on December 7, 2014. 

The pair were allegedly in a relationship, having both attended South Panola High School in Panola County, according to the Clarion Ledger. He is believed to be the last person that saw her before she was bued. 

Tellis was indicted by a special grand jury for the case in Louisiana on Tuesday where he was already in custody in connection with the stabbing murder of a Taiwanese exchange student.

Chambers was found lying barely alive on the side of the road next to her Kia Rio sedan by a passing driver at 8.15pm on the night of her death.

The teen was then taken to hospital where her parents rushed to see her before she succumbed to the bus, which covered 98 per cent of her body.

She had spoken to her mother on the phone little over an hour earlier, at 7pm, to say: 'I'm cleaning my car and getting something to eat and I'll be home.'

Police have spent more than a year scouring the area and interviewing locals to identify a suspect, interviewing hundreds of people.

Finally, on Tuesday, Tellis was charged with capital murder.

He is currently facing charges for allegedly using credit cards belonging to murdered Taiwanese student Meing-chen Hsiao, 34, who was found stabbed to death in her apartment in Monroe, Louisiana, in August 2015.

According to an affidavit, he spent $1,000 with the card.

A press conference is due to be held in Panola County on Wednesday afteoon detailing both cases Tellis is linked to.

Tellis was last known to be living in Monroe.

The Clarion Ledger reports he married his fiancee on August 8, 2015 - the day Meing-chen Hsiao was found dead.
