Robert Marks, 39, was taken into custody after the body of his colleague and suspected lover, Lyntell Washington, 40, was discovered in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
The mother-of-one, who was once named 'Teacher of the Year' was reported missing last Thursday morning after her three-year-old daughter, Darillle, was seen walking alone near her car, which had blood inside it.
Police believe Marks, who worked at Brookstown Middle Magnet Academy, may have been fearful of his wife finding out that he'd gotten Washington pregnant.
According to WAFB, her body was badly decomposed and she has to be identified by her dental records.
