$2 million bail for accused killer of Conn. mother
HARTFORD, Conn. -- Bail has reportedly been set at $2 million for a man accused of killing of a 23-year-old Connecticut mother whose body was found more than a week after she was reported missing.
Bloomfield and Hartford police said 59-year-old Robert Graham of Hartford was arrested on a murder warrant Friday night. Police said Graham was found hiding in his attic.
Tashauna Jackson's body was found Tuesday behind a building in Bloomfield, hours after family, friends and law enforcement gathered to search for her. She was the mother of a 5-year-old boy. Police said it appeared someone had tried to conceal her body.
Police said Jackson was last seen about 11 p.m. Aug. 11 getting into Graham's car.
The cause of her death has not been determined.
Friends and relatives packed the courthouse during Graham's arraignment Monday, reports CBS Connecticut. In court, a judge said that DNA found in Graham's car matched that of Jackson.
Police said he has a history of violence and is considered extremely dangerous.
Graham's attorney, Deron Freeman, argued that there was little evidence to suggest Graham had anything to do with Jackson's disappearance, according to CBS affiliate WFSB.
Freeman reportedly said that Graham and Jackson had been in a relationship for four years.
