BRICK TOWNSHIP, N.J. (AP) — Authorities charged a 38-year-old man with murder Sunday, a week after the disappearance of a 16-year-old girl, and said they were searching for her body in Ocean County.

Authorities did not release any information about why they had charged Jack Fuller in the death of Brittney Gregory, or about how he and the girl may have met.

Fuller, of Howell, was being held on $1 million bail, prosecutor Robert Gasser said. A court appearance was scheduled for today.

Gregory has not been heard from since the evening of July 11, when she called her mother from her father's house saying she wanted a ride to her boyfriend's home.
