Two days after that, on Feb. 1, deputies searching for the missing 20-year-old came upon a tent and hanging tarp near the river obscured by trees and shrubs.
“Inside the tent/hanging tarp, deputies found a deceased female adult,” according to a 13-page arrest warrant for Rawls, which was part of the charging documents. “The female was naked from the waist down. “Her legs and arms were tied up with the rope and pulled upward to the tree branches above her. The rope was tied to the tree branches.” The woman was Roark, the arrest warrant says, and she had been dragged, repeatedly sexually assaulted and strangled with a foot-long leash around her neck.
But searches failed to find her body until Feb. 1, and by then detectives had already begun to focus on Rawls, who had lived in a tent in the area for at least two years, the warrant said.
