Crystal Rogers' former boyfriend, who has long been considered a main suspect in her 2015 disappearance, has been arrested for murder.The FBI in Louisville said Brooks Houck, 41, of Bardstown, has been arrested on charges connected to the Rogers investigation. The indictment says he's charged with both murder and tampering with physical evidence."In coordination with the Kentucky State Police, other local and federal law enforcement partners, FBI Louisville has been laser-focused on our commitment to hold accountable those that were responsible for the disappearance of Crystal Rogers," said the FBI in a statement. "Today, we take a significant step in making good on that promise."An arrest citation says he was taken into custody around 9:13 a.m on Hawthorns Way, which is in a subdivision where he is building homes. He was taken to Nelson County Jail then transferred to Hardin County.Additional details are expected to be revealed during his arraignment in early October in the Nelson County Circuit Court. His bond is set at $10 million cash. Since the mother of five disappeared eight years ago from Bardstown, the only suspect ever named before this month was Houck, her boyfriend at the time, with whom she shares a child.He had never been charged in connection with the crime until now.Her family released this statement in response to his arrest:"This morning the Ballard family received word that Brooks Houck was arrested for an indictment warrant after being indicted by a Nelson County Grand Jury.
