In the past day the NamUs profile for Patrenia Butler-Turner (MP37071) has also been removed. She was last seen seen in East St. Louis, St. Clair County, IL in January 2013. There is a time gap between her disappearance and the date the UID was killed per the informant, which makes it less likely. The age, height and hair description match and she had a bit of jewelry that could have been stolen and pawned by the alleged killer.

According to court documents, sometime between Jan. 14 and Jan. 17, 2013, Sutton allegedly beat and strangled Butler-Turner. With the help of Beyer, he also is accused of concealing her body in the woods.

According to Madison County State’s Attorney Tom Haine, Sutton was scheduled to be released on parole on Feb. 14 from the Centralia Correctional Center where he had been serving a sentence for methamphetamine possession. Thursday's indictment listed Sutton’s address as the correctional center; as of Saturday he was in custody at the Madison County Jail.

Sutton could face 20-60 years on the murder charge. Both Sutton and Beyer face up to five years for the concealment charge.
