the linked article says Luna's body was located in a nearby field (concealed) so I wonder if the park was crime scene taped off because that is where Nathaniel was located by LE in a reportedly bloody state or if he killed her in the the park where she liked to hang out and swing and then took her body to a nearby field to conceal? This small town is surrounded by farm fields.

Jackson’s remains were found in a field shortly before 9 a.m. Monday, the authorities said.

QUOTING MYSELF because this article says body found at the park so I have no idea if park or field as reports seem to vary.

Calhoun County
Case info: A criminal complaint says the victim, identified only as Jane Doe, was reported missing by her mom just before 11 p.m. Sunday, 9/22/24. According to court documents, the victim's sister & mom went looking for her Sunday night & ran into Bevers-McGivney, who authorities say was covered in blood & had the missing girl's scooter & other personal items. When law enforcement inquired about the blood, Bevers-McGivney requested a lawyer. Police say they found the teen's body shortly after 9 a.m. Monday morning, in a place they say, suggests Bevers-McGivney intentionally hid her body to conceal a crime. The criminal complaint also notes Bevers-McGivney failed to tell authorities where the victim's body was. Bevers-McGivney will likely make his first court appearance Tuesday morning.

It is unclear what led to Michele’s death and if the two knew one another.
When he was located he had possession of the teen's scooter and some of her other personal belongings. He was covered in blood.He apparently refused to answer any questions to the police.

However, a criminal complaint revealed the location where Michele’s body was found alleging that he intentionally hid her body to conceal a crime.
Her body was found on Monday around 9am in a farm field south of town.

How the family discovered this is terrible.

ROCKWELL CITY — Just days after allegedly killing Michele “Luna” Jackson at the Farnhamville City Park, Nathaniel K. Bevers-McGivney demanded his right to a speedy trial.

Bevers-McGivney is charged with first-degree murder in the death of 17-year-old Jackson on Sept. 23.

On Oct. 11, Bevers-McGivney’s attorney filed documents with the Calhoun County Clerk of District Court stating that his client demanded a right to a speedy trial, under a rule of criminal procedure which stated that a trial must proceed within 90 days of filing.

The trial was scheduled to begin Nov. 19, at the Calhoun County Courthouse in Rockwell City. However, Bevers-McGivney is now waiving that right and next week’s trial date has been canceled. His attorney filed paperwork to extend deadlines for discovery and pre-trial matters. A new trial date has not yet been set.
