<p>BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — A man has been charged with murder in the January killing of a southern Indiana school bus driver who was found fatally strangled in her fire-damaged apartment.</p>
<p>Eric Quentin Johnson, 30, was charged Thursday in the death of Teresa Michael, a 32-year-old mother of five, <a href="https://www.hoosiertimes.com/herald_times_online/news/local/man-charged-with-murder-in-school-bus-drivers-death/article_43ca043e-7d31-11eb-bc26-f7087c9ae40a.html">The Herald-Times</a> reported.</p>
<p>First responders called to put out a fire at the Bloomington woman’s apartment on Jan. 28 found her dead inside. An autopsy found that Michael died not from fire-related injuries, but from strangulation.</p>
<p>Police arrested Johnson on Feb. 9 in South Carolina after finding Michael’s Dodge Caliber, which had been missing from the apartment complex where she lived, abandoned in Georgia.</p>
<p>Johnson was held in a South Carolina jail on an auto theft charge, awaiting extradition to Indiana, but he was returned Wednesday to Bloomington and booked into jail on an additional murder charge.</p>
<p>Johnson was being held at the Monroe County Jail without bond. Online court records do not list an attorney who could speak on his behalf. Johnson was scheduled for a Friday afternoon initial hearing.</p>
