One man is in custody and another is wanted for allegedly dumping a dead man’s body in the middle of the road earlier this month.
PRINCE WILLIAM COUNTY, Va. - One man is in custody and another is wanted for allegedly dumping a dead man’s body in the middle of the road earlier this month.
Body found in roadway
What we know:
According to police, a pedestrian initially discovered the decomposed remains 13200 block of Trowbridge Drive around 7:15 a.m. on Feb. 8.
"Officers determined that the body was a 42-year-old Annandale man," Officer Renee Carr with the Prince William County Police Department told FOX 5.
The man was later identified as Robert Patrick Hearn. Fairfax County police say Hearn was reported missing on Feb. 6 by a friend. Two days later he was found in the road.
"The roadway itself is an offshoot. It's in a neighborhood but the end of the road is a little more like a cul-de-sac area," Carr said.
One witness told FOX 5 that they saw the car drive up to the park gate but when they noticed it was closed, they reversed and threw the body out of the car.
Hearn's body was taken to the Medical Examiner's Office for an autopsy to determine the cause of death.
Police say there were no immediate signs of trauma and the initial investigation revealed that the man died at a different location before his remains were brought to Trowbridge Drive.
1 suspect in custody
Behind Bars:
Detectives were able to identify the two men involved in transporting the body as Maurice Jermaine Waller, 54, and Jonathan Alberto Aguilar, 21.
Arrest warrants were obtained for the men but attempts to locate them were unsuccessful until Feb. 20, when officers found Waller.
He was taken into custody and charged with concealment of a dead body. At this time, he is being held without bond and his next court date is pending.
1 suspect wanted
Search Continues:
Aguilar is still wanted. He is described as a Hispanic male, approximately 5’8", 142lbs., with black hair and brown eyes. He is also wanted on charges of concealing a dead body.
"We are definitely going to be holding these people accountable for the actions taken," Carr said.
Anyone with information on Aguilar’s whereabouts is asked to contact police immediately.
