The 17-year-old who was caught after a car chase in Nebraska has been charged with murder in his mother's death.

On Oct. 21, Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez revealed Tyler Roenz faces murder and tampering with evidence charges after his mother was found dead in the chase car. Tyler Roenz is reportedly in Nebraska State Police custody. He'll be sent to Texas, said Gonzalez.

Tyler and Michelle Roenz were reported missing Oct. 13 from Harris County, and the next day, Nebraska State Police troopers participated in a high-speed chase. Nebraska State Police stated the automobile reached 110 mph.

9 miles later, the Mazda hit a semitruck and a tree. Tyler had "serious injuries" and Michelle's body was found in the trunk.

Tyler was charged with unauthorized car usage. According to the criminal complaint, Tyler's father Manfred Roenz spotted his automobile missing on Oct. 13. In the garage, he reportedly noticed a human tooth and a "blood trail to the master bedroom," where he recovered at least four additional teeth.

911 was called to report them missing.

In the criminal complaint, Tyler was forbidden to drive outside of Harris County.

Deputies in Harris County found "additional indicators of apparent foul play"

An autopsy indicated Michelle Roenz died from blunt force trauma to the head and strangling, according to the murder complaint. She was killed.

Michelle Roenz exhibited ligature marks and a shattered hyoid bone, "both indicative of strangling."

Harris County Sheriff's Office detectives reportedly interviewed Tyler Roenz at the hospital in Omaha. He allegedly "refused to disclose any details of [Michelle Roenz's] injuries, other than admitting he didn't simply use his hands" and that she "didn't enter into the trunk on her own."

Complaint: Tyler drove north with his mother in the trunk and "had no emotion."
