Detectives from the Dane County Sheriff’s office arrested a 26-year-old Madison woman Tuesday in Washington for allegedly helping her husband hide the corpse of the man he is accused of killing.
According to a Dane County Sheriff’s Office press release, detectives picked Shannon Remus up at Fort McChord military base on a felony charge of hiding a corpse in relation to her husband Jeffrey Vogelsberg’s alleged connection to the murder of his autistic half-brother, 27-year-old Matthew Graville.
The State Journal reported that the Dane County Sheriff’s office charged Vogelsberg, 27, with first degree murder Jan. 2 for allegedly beating Graville to death, to which Vogelsberg pleaded not guilty on Jan. 31.
Remus is facing charges for allegedly withholding information from police about the location of Graville’s body during the more than three-month-long search for Graville while he was considered missing.
According to the release, police are holding Remus at Pierce County Jail in Tacoma, Wash. until her extradition hearing Thursday.
