SEARCY, Ark. (AP) - Prosecutors say they won’t seek the death penalty for a man charged in the death of a Searcy man who disappeared more than 20 years ago.
Brandon Lee Wheeler is charged with capital murder and abuse of a corpse in the death of Jarrod Green.
Police say Green was reported missing in October 1994. A court affidavit says that detectives received information late last year about the possible location of Green’s body, and Wheeler was arrested last month in Ohio.
