Remains Of Beth Johnson Found In Minnesota, Rochester Man Charged
BLAINE, Minn. (AP) -- Authorities say the remains of a Wisconsin woman missing for more than three years have been found north of the Twin Cities a week after a suspect was charged with killing her.
The Wisconsin Department of Justice said the remains of 50-year-old Beth Johnson, of Nelson, were recovered in Blaine.
Last week prosecutors charged 48-year-old Randall Merrick, of Rochester, with first-degree intentional homicide, domestic abuse and hiding a corpse.
The criminal complaint alleges that Merrick killed Johnson sometime between Christmas Day of 2016 and March 12, 2017 in Buffalo County, Wisconsin and buried or hid her body.
