The former Georgia police officer charged with the murder and kidnapping of a 16-year-old girl who went missing last year has been indicted for malice murder for the teenager's death, the most severe murder charge possible in the Peach State.

Miles Bryant, 22, was arrested last month and fired from the Doraville Police Department following allegations he was involved in the disappearance and death of Susanna Morales. Bryant is accused of kidnapping and killing the girl before dumping her naked body in the woods.

He has been charged with concealing the death of another, filing a false report of a crime, murder and kidnapping.

Bryant is charged with the false report of a crime because he claimed a gun had been stolen from his personal car last summer, the same day Morales was reported missing. His gun was later found in the same wooded area where Morales' body was discovered.

And on Wednesday, a Gwinnett County grand jury indicted Bryant on charges of malice murder, felony murder, kidnapping and false report of a crime, according to FOX 5 Atlanta.

Morales was first reported missing by her family in late July after she failed to return home.

On Feb. 6, police responded to the area between Drowning Creek and Barrow County after someone reported noticing what they suspected were human remains in the forest. The Gwinnett Medical Examiners' office tested the remains and concluded that the DNA matched Morales' dental records.

Bryant was initially arrested for concealing the girl's death and then lying about it. But the Gwinnett County Police Chief later announced that Bryant's charges had been upgraded to felony murder and kidnapping.

The ex-cop has also been charged in a separate incident from 2019 in which he allegedly stalked a burglarized a woman.

Laura Ingraham highlights how former President Donald Trump took down the "sacred cow" of the rules-based international order and put America first with his foreign policy on "The Ingraham Angle."

TRUMP ROLLS OUT 2024 TRADE POLICY THAT WOULD ‘TAX CHINA TO BUILD UP AMERICA,’ REWARD US PRODUCERS

LAURA INGRAHAM: At the end of a week like this, with so many of the world's events having turned against us, we once again arrive at the conclusion that, yes, Trump was right. Now, remember, from the very first months of his presidency, he challenged the staled, old status quo. You know that status quo where America carried the lion's share of the security burden for Europe?

Now, he made it clear that the days were over when the United Nations and other foreign countries could just run roughshod over America's interests. 

…

His common sense message seemed kind of subdued there, didn't he? But it infuriated our sanctimonious scribblers to no end. Trump's takedown of their sacred cow, the rules-based international order. That thing wasn't just wrong, the order — what he said about it was dangerous.

…

The greatest threat to the order was and is the globalist status quo. Even Henry Kissinger understood this — yeah, the man most responsible for America's opening to China in the 1970s. He saw the growing threat of Beijing and how it became so dangerous under President Xi and advised Trump in a series of meetings on ways to box out China by establishing closer ties to Russia.
