A second person is under arrest in connection with a burned body found in Carbondale in August.
25 year old Robert Dennis of Carbondale was charged Friday with concealment of a homicidal death.
Prosecutors say that Dennis hid the body of 39 year old Robin Steif in a trashcan on August 29th to prevent or delay its discovery.
Police found Stief’s badly burned body in the early morning hours of august 30th after responding to reports of a fire in the 900 block of East Main Street.
Dennis is being held in the Jackson County Jail on half a million dollars bond. His first court appearance is scheduled for Tuesday.
Tiesha Anderson of Collinsville was also charged with concealment of a homicide in connection with the crime earlier this week. She’s being held on $750,000 bond.
