HUNTINGTON, W.Va. (AP) - A trial has been delayed for a man accused of killing a woman whose dismembered body was partially tossed into a West Virginia river.
The Huntington Herald-Dispatch reports Argie Lee Jeffers Sr.’s trial set to start Tuesday was indefinitely delayed because a key police witness is on leave.
Jeffers was charged with murder and concealment of a body in February 2018, months after pieces of Carrie Sowards were found in the Guyandotte River. A criminal complaint says his home had evidence of Sowards’ DNA and a major “bloodletting incident.” Jeffers told police he and Sowards were in a volatile relationship.
