The suspect lived near Jantz on the 900 block of Oak Drive near Radcliff.
Hardin County Sheriff's Office is investigating after a homicide in Radcliff.
Ward confirmed that Hardin County sheriff's deputies were investigating the home the 16-year-old lived in when WDRB News crews were talking to neighbors Monday afternoon.
"You don't want to have a cold case, you don't want to have a homicide turned into an unsolved case," he said. "So it's good to be able to make an arrest."
Ward didn't say if there are any other persons of interest involving this investigation.
Jantz was found in a shed in the back of her property on Wednesday, April 13. Ward said she died from blunt force trauma to the head.
