Police were alerted to Fragstein's disappearance when her husband became worried after she didn't return from her shopping excursion.
Her car was later discovered on July 17 abandoned in Pine Bluff, about 80 miles from the shopping center.
The alleged killers attempted to destroy any possible evidence located inside the vehicle by setting it on fire, according to People.
The two teens are being held in the Faulkner County Detention Center without bond and are expected to to appear in court later this week.
