Boyfriend arrested on multiple charges after missing Massachusetts woman found dead

The boyfriend of a missing Massachusetts woman that was found dead has been arrested.

40-year-old Sherell Pringle, also known as “Rell”, was last seen by her mother on December 18, between the hours of 12-2pm before she was found Tuesday in a marsh on the side of Route 107 in Saugus.

According to family, Sherell told her mother that she was going on a date the night of her disappearance with 44-year-old Bruce Maiben of Lynn. He told the family he dropped her off at home in Woburn between the hours of 3:00am-3:30am, but family believes that is not accurate. Family and friends say that Maiben was scheduled to meet with police on Tuesday, but never showed up.

Maiben was arrested Wednesday night and is expected to appear in Lynn District Court on Thursday on charges of larceny over $1200, obstruction of justice, and tampering with evidence.

Late Monday, Woburn Police took to social media to ask the public for assistance in finding Pringle. WPD also stated that they were working with Lynn and Boston Police to gather details.
