Police have made two arrests in the death of a 2005 Salpointe Catholic High School graduate who moved to California to pursue an acting career.
Santa Monica, Calif., police detectives arrested Ronnie Wayne Case, 34, and Kelly Soo Park, 44, at a home in Camarillo, Calif., last week. They've been charged with "murder with special circumstances and conspiracy" in connection with the death of Juliana Redding, officials reported.
The two are being held without bail, Santa Monica police spokesman Sgt. Jay Trisler said in a statement released Thursday. Because the investigation is ongoing, police have divulged few details about the case - no motive, connection between Redding and the suspects, or information on how Redding was killed. Trisler did not return calls Sunday.
Redding, who played golf for four years at Salpointe, moved to California to pursue modeling and acting.

She was found dead in her apartment in Santa Monica on March 16, 2008, after her mother, who lives in Tucson, contacted authorities when she couldn't reach her daughter by phone.
Trisler said Santa Monica police put "thousands of hours" of work into the investigation and collaborated with several other agencies, including the FBI, during the investigation.
He said there's a possibility of more arrests. Case, an amateur race-car driver, and Park were arrested without incident, he said.
