The man who claims to be the prime suspect in the murder of 39-year-old Angela Crossman, whose body was found earlier this month near a logging road in Agassiz, B.C., is speaking out.
Alex Paul was Crossman's landlord. Now, he's says he's a suspect in her death.
"I'm the number one and only suspect," Paul said. "My life is being messed up."

Early in June, Crossman moved into the home where Paul lives with his family. He says that for days before her disappearance, she had been acting strange.
"She told the doctor and told me she was taking meds by color, not label."
Paul says he took Crossman to the hospital on June 10, and last saw her at about 1:00 a.m. Her body was discovered on June 11.
And while Paul says he has been cooperating with police investigators, his lawyer has advised him not to give DNA or take a polygraph test.
Crossman's friends honour her back home
Though Crossman lived in Abbotsford, her hometown was Turtle Creek, New Brunswick. On Friday, a couple hundred people packed a small church for her memorial.
She was deeply religious, and had a passion for music.
"She was one in a million," Crossman's friend Lara Leger said. "One in a million. And nobody will replace her."
Crossman struggled against cancer three times - and was still fighting the disease when she died.
But it wasn't cancer that took her life -- police are asking anyone who has information on Crossman's disappearance to contact RCMP at 1-877-551-4448.
