FOUR ARRESTED IN MICHAEL WILLIAMS DEATH

Four arrested in Michael Williams death

Here’s an update to a story the No Coast Network has been following.  Four people have been arrested in connection with last week’s death of Michael Williams.  You’ll remember Williams’ body was found September 16, when fire crews were putting out a fire in a roadside ditch in rural Kellogg.  Tuesday (9/22), 31-year-old Steven Vogel of Grinnell was charged with first degree murder and abuse of a corpse.  Three others, 55-year-old Julia Cox, 57-year-old Roy Lee Garner and 29-year-old Cody Johnson, all from Grinnell, are all charged with abuse of a corpse, destruction of evidence and accessory after the fact.  Cox, Garner and Johnson are in custody in the Poweshiek County Jail.  Vogel is in custody in the Marshall County Jail, where he was being held on an unrelated offense.  The Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation also found that Williams had been strangled to death on September 12—four days before his body was found.
