Edgar S. Keiter Jr. was arraigned in Kettering Municipal Court Monday morning in a video appearance on one count of gross abuse of a corpse and three counts of tampering with evidence. He did not enter a plea or speak during court.

Judge Frederick Dressel continued the $1 million bond placed on Keiter after he was charged last week following the discovery of body parts belonging to his father, 75-year-old Edgar S. Keiter Sr. of Croftshire Drive in Kettering.

I'm a 937 native and although I no longer live there, I do know the Keiter name. Take this for what it's worth.

Apologies for my bluntness but I don’t know how to put this delicately. Did EK Jr kill EK Sr, or “just” dismember his remains?

I think we can call a spade a spade here imo; however, there hasn't been any comment whether or not murder charges are forthcoming.

Kettering police Chief Christopher “Chip” Protsman said homicide charges may be filed in the case, but declined to say if he thinks those charges would be against the man’s son or another suspect.

Sounds like LE just haven't figured out yet how many people were involved in the homicide part, but once they do, they will charge (if I read between the lines). MOO

I fear this is a case of the son snapping after childhood abuse.

The comments on the PD Facebook page & the 2009 charge of a minor under the age of 13 makes me wonder if that victim was a family member..... perhaps a son/daughter of Jr?
