Glad they caught up with those two. I wonder if there are any more unsolved murders around Reading they could be tied to?

He said he later went to the house and found Conrad dead with a hole in his neck, and the two then drove to an area where he often rode four-wheelers and he dug a hole, then disposed of the gun in Somerset Lake. Police said McFarland told them that the pair then cleaned up evidence at the house and burned it in a fire pit. They then drove the body to the hole and buried it, and Battle later set a grease fire at the home to destroy evidence and get insurance money, McFarland said, according to authorities.
