Court documents state Salinas had become unresponsive from doing heroin at the home in which his body was later found.
Investigators said Debra Phillips purchased heroin from Jacquet Jenkins and provided it to Michael Mathewson, Hall and Salinas. Salinas reportedly became unresponsive, but Mathewson said he had done that before and was fine. Mathewson said he continued to check on him, but he later died.
Phillips and Mathewson removed the body from Hall's bedroom, according to court documents. The criminal complaint states the two had intended to put his body in a lake, but said it was 'too heavy' and placed it near a shed on the property and covered it with a large sheet of plywood. They reportedly went back inside and used heroin.
Investigators said Phillips smashed Salinas' phone and got rid of his jacket. A blanket reportedly used to move the body was discarded on Czech Avenue.
Court document state Mathewson was hesitant to call 911 when Salinas became unresponsive because he was currently on probation.
Jenkins and Phillips face the most serious charges-- first degree reckless homicide by drugs.
Another resident living at the home reported finding the body and told authorities he did not know the person.
Hall is expected to return to court May 29 for a plea hearing.
