WOLF CREEK, Ore. - Police have arrested a man in connection with a homicide in Wolf Creek last month.
 
20-year-old Caitlyn Strauser was found dead at a home on Lower Grave Creek Road July 20th. Investigators were originally told Strauser drowned in Grave Creek, but an autopsy performed by a state medical examiner determined the cause of death to be homicide. Investigators learned 24-year-old Joseph O'Dell dropped off Strauser at that location and then quickly left.
 
O'Dell was arrested Friday and lodged in the Josephine County Jail. He is being charged with manslaughter in Strauser's death.
