Body of missing St. Cloud soldier Kelli Bordeaux recovered; Murder charges filed

The body of missing Osceola County soldier Kelli Bordeaux has been recovered and first-degree murder charges filed.

The 23-year-old disappeared two years ago from an Army base in Fayetteville, N.C.

Authorities arrested Nicholas Holbert in connection with Bordeaux's killing and charged him with first-degree murder.

Bordeaux grew up in St. Cloud and left to join the Army before being stationed at Fort Bragg.

Investigators said she left a bar with a man who offered her a ride home.

Holbert was later arrested for failing to register as a sex offender but had denied any involvement in Bordeaux's disappearance.

Investigators said a friend of Bordeaux received a text the night she disappeared saying she got home OK. The family is not convinced she's the one who actually sent it.
