Murder. Abuse of a corpse. Evidence tampering. Arraignment on both cases likely this week, per Rowan Co. Sheriff.

After this guy shoots Jill, he then joins her family for Thanksgiving dinner, saying she isn't feeling well?! I have no words for this kind of animal.

I'd be surprised if the family didn't try to speak to her that night. Or they simply believed him? Maybe he told them she was sleeping/resting.

It's also strange that he left the area afterwards, but kept the gun (which he wasn't supposed to possess). He's not a very smart criminal.

I searched for the outcome of the trial in this case, but I can only find older articles saying a trial is scheduled.
Can anyone find an update?
