Authorities said Sunday that Matthew Reed, 36, of the 3200 block of Calumet Court in Raleigh, was being held at the Orange County jail. Reed has a first court appearance Monday. They did not say whether the suspect knew the victim.
The State Bureau of Investigation is handling the case because Hinkson's body was found at Eno River State Park, near Pleasant Green Road and U.S. 70. His body has been sent to the medical examiner's office for an autopsy.
Officials close to the investigation said Reed contacted authorities from Greensboro and told authorities where to find the body.
Hinkson, 71, disappeared Monday when he left home to run errands, including making a bank deposit about a half-mile from his home in the Woodcroft neighborhood. Police found his car Wednesday in the parking lot of The Mews Apartments on Williamsburg Road, about 4.5 miles from his home.
The family said Hinkson had no history of dementia or cognitive illness and had never disappeared.
Hinkson was a volunteer minister at All Saints Church in Durham, where he led Bible studies and headed up pastoral care for those who couldn't get to church. During his disappearance, friends, family and parishioners passed out missing-person fliers, helped in the search and held a prayer
