Laura Miles’ son told 13News Now he's relieved to know Chesapeake Police arrested Cherry. He said he and his family feel it's a weight lifted off their shoulders.
Miles' son wanted her to be remembered as a loving and caring person.
The 61-year-old woman lived in New York, but would often travel to Hampton Roads for work and would stay for several weeks at a time.
On Saturday, investigators arrested Cherry. He lives in the same apartment complex where Miles stayed.
Cherry faces charges of first-degree murder, robbery, abduction, and concealment of a dead body after an investigation into Miles's death. The court continued Cherry’s arraignment on Monday.
