Police have found the body of missing Florida fireman Jerry Perdomo in a rural wood in Monroe, Maine, a day after the man who was arrested for his murder told authorities that the husband and father of two is dead.

Daniel Porter, 24, was arrested on Tuesday at the Jackson, Maine, home that was rented by his father, Gary, who the suspect reportedly told where he could find the knife and gun used in the deadly crime, according to WCSH6.com. During a search of the house, police made the grisly discovery of a piece of skull and blood that is consistent with Perdomo’s.

DOCUMENTS: Read The Court Affidavit For Daniel Porter’s Arrest

In a court affidavit obtained by RadarOnline.com, Porter is described as 5’10” and 165 pounds, and states that he did “intentionally or knowingly cause the death” of 31-year-old Perdomo on February 16. 

The report detailed the bizarre background to the murder that began with Porter and Perdomo playing pool at Gary Porter’s house when the pair allegedly started arguing and Daniel shot the fireman.

"At approximately 1 a.m. on Thursday, May 13, 2010 an airplane carrying members of the John Travolta family landed at BIA. While there, two small dogs were taken for a walk by someone who is not a family member," the city of Bangor, Maine, said in an e-mail to the Bangor Daily News.

"An airport service pickup truck was approaching the airplane to service the airplane and did not see the dogs. Unfortunately, the dogs were struck and killed. The airport is investigating the accident. Out of respect for the family’s privacy the city will make no further comment.”

“The airport takes safety very seriously,” airport director Rebecca Hupp said Monday afternoon. “Many flights come and go without incidents. Clearly, this is an unfortunate accident. Our deepest sympathies are with the family.”

Travolta owns a home on Islesboro off the coast of Waldo County in Maine. When reached on Monday, Travolta's publicist said he was unaware of what had happened.
