ミズーリ州の53歳の男が、ルームメイトを殺害し、遺体をプラスチック製の樽に隠して川に投棄したとして、一級殺人の容疑で身柄を拘束された。
ダニエル・W・ラッセル容疑者は、マイケル・A・グラハムさんを殺害したとして、一級殺人、死体遺棄、証拠隠滅の容疑に問われている。
グラハムさんは2019年2月に行方不明届が出されていた。翌月、セントルイスから西へ約90マイル（約145キロ）のガソコネイディにあるボート乗り場付近のガソコネイディ川沿いで、樽に入った遺体が発見された。
捜査当局は、ラッセル容疑者のガレージに流し込まれたコンクリートと樽の中の物質が一致したことなどの証拠から、同容疑者が事件に関与していると断定した。今年になって、グラハムさんが所有していたオートバイの一つに関連する新たなフェイスブックのメッセージが見つかったことが、正式な訴追につながった。
ラッセル容疑者は週末にジェファーソン郡保安官事務所によって逮捕された。現在、保釈金なしでフランクリン郡成人拘置所に勾留されている。
