Two Florida women arrested for alleged murder of one of the women's missing boyfriend

A Florida woman has been arrested in connection with the suspected murder of her on-again, off-again boyfriend who disappeared earlier this month.

Authorities issued arrest warrants for Caylen Deller, 30, and Tina Marie Lee-Ellis, 56, on Thursday.

Putnam County police said 53-year-old Chad Mullen was probably last seen alive on Sept. 9, traveling with Deller, with whom he had an on-again, off-again relationship, to a location near Deller's store.

The women were arrested after Mullen's body was discovered in Florida following a tip.

Mullen was first reported missing by his family on September 15 after he missed his brother's wedding in Texas.

“We should go to Texas to be with family. That's when I kind of thought, 'Okay, this is real,'” Hollie Mullen, Chad's daughter, told News4JAX. “At first it was just unbelievable. I just thought, 'He'll just come back.'”

The body was discovered by a mechanic/equipment operator on the side of a county road on property about a quarter mile from the Putnam County line. The man said he noticed an unusual pile of dirt, which led to the discovery.

“We probably found him no more than 20 to 25 feet from the edge of the road in the front yard of the property,” Robert Rash told Action News Jax.

“It was just the location of the pile that didn’t make sense because there’s no road through there. There is no drainage there either,” said Rash.

Lee-Ellis turned herself in Thursday evening and was charged with accessory after the fact to first-degree murder.

Deller was arrested in Volusia County and charged with first-degree premeditated murder with a firearm.

The investigation is still ongoing. According to authorities, it is still unclear how long the women knew each other.
