Husband of missing Georgia mother-of-four, Donell Anderson, was arrested after his wife Imani Roberson’s body was found Friday, three weeks after she disappeared 

His wife, Imani Roberson, 29, was last seen by her mother July 16, and investigators initially found her torched Mazda SUV 11 days later 

Rockdale County Sheriff Eric Levett said ‘it was clear that foul play was evident in the disappearance’ as he announced the arrest Saturday

Anderson was arrested in an Atlanta apt and charged with felony murder, malice murder, aggravated assault and possession of a firearm in the commission of a crime.

A man has been charged by authorities in Georgia in the death of his wife, who disappeared three weeks ago after her body was discovered by cops.
Donell Anderson was arrested by a SWAT team raid the day after investigators found the remains of 29-year-old mother-of-four, Imani Roberson, Rockdale County Sheriff Eric Levett announced on Saturday. 
‘It was clear that foul play was evident in the disappearance,’ he said. 
Roberson was last seen by her mother Clarine Andujar-White on July 16 after having dinner with her and her four children. When she couldn’t get ahold of Roberson the next day, she filed a missing persons report – 10 days before her Mazda SUV was found in 24 miles away, in the woods in the Atlanta area. The vehicle had been torched.
It would take police another eight days to locate her body, which was found in a wooded area by K-9 cadaver dogs on Friday morning. 
Anderson was arrested in an Atlanta apartment and charged with felony murder, malice murder, aggravated assault and possession of a firearm in the commission of a crime.

Levett said the last time Roberson was seen alive, she left two of her children at her mother’s house and returned home with two others, a three-year-old and a baby she gave birth to just a month ago.
Roberson left in her white Mazda SUV, which was later seen in Ring doorbell footage obtained by NBC News speeding away from her home the day she went missing. 
Her family reportedly believe that a gunshot could also be heard in the footage, which was taken from a house across the street, but this has not been confirmed by police. 

Her mother visited her home the next morning after she couldn’t contact her, and she reported her missing after finding the property empty. 
At a press conference after her daughter’s body was found, Andujar-White said as soon as she didn’t hear from her daughter, she ‘knew something was wrong.’ 
Launching an urgent search, law enforcement combed the Rockdale County area, contacted her friends and searched in areas Roberson was known to visit. 
‘This investigation led us to conduct several search warrants on homes to include the home of our victim, a car and cell phones,’ Levett said. 
‘In addition, we spoke to several individuals, collected a number of evidence to include blood in our victim’s home and in other places that I won’t be specific on.’

Her desperate family launched an appeal to the public for help. However the prospects for finding Roberson alive began to look ominous when the search party located her white Mazda on July 27, destroyed by arson.
The vehicle appeared to have been burned from the inside, cops said, and images showed the car’s logo had been singed into the ground around ash and debris.
Police announced her remains had been found Friday, but have not yet said where the body was discovered besides in a ‘wooded area’.
Authorities were able to identify her through her tattoos and images provided by her family.

Announcing the Anderson’s arrest Sheriff Levett said authorities received information almost immediately that led them to suspect Roberson’s husband, without elaborating. The investigation is ongoing and more arrests were expected, Anderson said. 
At a press conference after her burned vehicle was discovered, Levitt said all four of her children were safe but declined to give details about their whereabouts.

Roberson’s heartbroken mother and father spoke after the arrest of Anderson was announced as they revealed their anguish over the loss of their daughter.
‘Today is a very difficult day for our family,’ Andujar-White said, ‘Late last night, my worst fears were confirmed and our family is devastated.
‘Being here today is extremely difficult for us,’ the grieving mom added, thanking police, the public and media who helped in the search for Roberson.
‘We thank you for your continued prayers and support as we work to care for Imani’s beautiful boys without a mother.’ 

Cops were able to identify Roberson’s remains by her tattoos and images provided by her family. Roberson had given birth just a month before she went missing on July 16

Roberson’s father broke down as he said at the press conference Roberson was ‘the third child I’ve lost to the state of Georgia.’
‘I’ve seen all I can see – three of my babies gone,’ he said. ‘It’s not the news that we wanted, but I’m happy that we can hold him accountable.’ 
He urged the public to continue helping with the ongoing investigation
