Authorities and local civil rights leaders said there was no evidence suggesting the victim, Michael Williams was killed because he was Black.
It wasn’t immediately clear if Vogel, Cox and Garner have lawyers. Cox and Garner were being held at Poweshiek County Jail, DeCamp said. Vogel was at Marshall County Jail, where he had already been in custody on unrelated charges, DeCamp said.
The complaint cites a witness who told investigators that on Sept. 13, Vogel allegedly showed him Williams’ body, which was wrapped in plastic in the basement of Cox's home. Vogel allegedly admitted strangling Williams and asked the witness if he could help move his body, according to the complaint. Williams' body was found Sept. 16, shortly before 6 p.m., when firefighters responded to a report of a blaze in a ditch on the side of a road. Authorities found that he had been bound by rope and duct tape, and wrapped in cloth and plastic. The medical examiner identified Williams the next day and later determined that he had likely been strangled before his body was set on fire.
